Living Jewishly
A Snapshot of a Generation
"Engaging young Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s is challenging to say the least, but a new collection of personal essays and memoirs from young American Jews hopes to enlighten and possibly bridge the gap." —eJewishPhilanthropy
In the Jewish communal world, engaging 20- and 30-somethings is a hot button issue: How do we get young Jews to feel connected to Israel? To affiliate with traditional Jewish institutions? To care about Jewish continuity, ritual and tradition? As a member of this exclusive community, Stefanie Bregman set out to tackle these questions and sought out to compile a collection of personal essays and memoirs from Jewish 20- and 30-somethings across the country.
Stefanie Pervos Bregman is the Manager of Digital Communications at the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, Associate Editor of JUF News and blogger-in-chief of Oy!Chicago, a website for Jewish 20- and 30-somethings. Stefanie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed her Master’s Degree in Jewish Professional Studies from the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies. Stefanie and her husband Michael live in Chicago with their bichon poodle, Bialy.
