We're putting an end to japathy
(jewish apathy) it's a real thing!
Whether you call it Japathy (Jewish Apathy), Jewish Continuity, the future of the Jewish People, or just a crying shame, the question of whether Judaism will even exist several generations from now is real. We’d be lying if we said that didn’t keep us up at night. Jewish people have contributed much to the world and are not ready to get off the stage just yet. And we don’t think you are either. It’s simple math though. Jews only make up less than 2% of the population in the U.S. and that number is shrinking. We’re trying to turn that tide. And once you look at all that Judaism has to offer, we’re willing to bet you’ll be glad that you did.
- Judaism has fabulous tools & wisdom: There’s a misconception out there that Judaism is only about faith, god and rules, and lots of Hebrew. WRONG! Judaism has fabulous tools and wisdom for how to lead a better, more meaningful life. Period. We challenge anyone to find a more time-tested belief system that can help you through birth, death and everything in between.
- Judaism cares about a whole lot of things: Here is a partial list of the things that Judaism cares about that we know you care about too: parenting, how to prioritize your time, work ethic, sex, how to be a better son or daughter, community, education, being more charitable, how to be a more loving partner, treating our earth with care, being a champion for social justice, an animal lover, even a healthier eater. Amazing, right?
- Judaism wants YOU….to feel like you belong: Jewish community: a little like your CrossFit friends, but with less sweat and grunting. Being part of a Jewish community of some kind will help you feel part of something bigger than yourself. We know it’s a broad statement but trust us on this. Almost everyone wants meaning and community in their lives, right?
