About Jew in The City:
Launched in 2007 by founder and executive director Allison Josephs, Jew in the City (JITC, a 501c3) has quickly grown to be a leading voice in this generation. It is the only nonprofit dedicated to changing negative perceptions of religious Jews and making engaging and meaningful Orthodox Judaism known and accessible. This is achieved by highlighting an approach based on kindness, tolerance, sincerity, and critical thinking.
Painful experiences within the Orthodox world, caused by dysfunction and ignorance have tarnished the opinions of a sizable minority of insiders who find themselves Jewishly displaced. These traumatic versions of Orthodoxy then get amplified in modern day media and entertainment without the much needed nuance they require. This results in a distorted public perception of Orthodox Jews and Judaism, pushing less observant Jews away, creating shame around being Jewish, and fueling antisemitism.
Jew in the City addresses these challenges on every level:
*Repairing systemic issues from within - through our Tikun branch
*Rehabilitating and re-educating disenfranchised Haredi Jews - through our Makom branch
*Holding traditional media accountable for accurate reporting and creating original positive Orthodox content - through our Keter branch.
Our programs cause Jews to lean into their Judaism, create Jewish pride, and reduce antisemitism, bringing about lasting change for generations to come.
Great Interview, Allison. Different from the other two I watched with Sarah Braun. You were able to bring out the more subtle nuances of her story and who she is. She has such a positive disposition and loves to laugh.
Sara is already doing her part in this world for just being her, just feel her heart and you will see who she really is, not any of those labels,
What a wonderful interview. Thank you
The Jews who had lighter skin, eyes could pass in Europe. They could live among Europeans and not set off hate for the dark, Semetic Jews. In the Second World War, those who were children with light hair or eyes could more easily stay with Gentile families through the war.
God bless this woman, both of you...
Awesome interview for what " looks " Jewish.
She hasn’t mentioned conversion in interviews and I don’t know if she does in her book. Did she have to convert Hasidic?
She was born Jewish. Becoming observant when you’re born Jewish is called becoming a baal teshuva (master of return).
8min36second into the interview and I have questions. She kinda races over the geographical location of her non-jewish ancestry. Considering that she mentions her grandmother being adopted by a black family, it is quite unlikely that she was raised in the Netherlands.
Her mentioning of South American roots and her father being black and chinese hint at a Surinamese background. Considering that Suriname has a rich Jewish history that also intersects with parts of black surinamese culture, I am somewhat suprised at the cultural disconnect i see so far in this interview.
I hope I am wrong. I have 24 minutes more to listen to.
Moses married Tharbis, the Ethiopian as a political marriage, Josephus and the book of Jasher which calls her Adoniah, (not Tharbis) tells the history of that marriage.
Tzippora was not an Ethiopian, she was a Midionite, they are from Midian, the son of Abraham and Keturah.
Judaism goes through the mother. Therefore, it is more important that a Jewish son marries a Jewish woman. A Jewish daughter will have Jewish children irrelevant of her husband's religion.
