Why JewBelong?

This organization speaks truth to power through innovative, direct communication. JewBelong's brilliant innovation is two-fold: (a) to use a ubiquitous medium, long a place for banal sales pitches along highways and (b) to tell the truth of a situation in plain, direct language. Its messages--of pride in Judaism, of speaking boldly when our tiny size has often keep its communications subtle, of demanding fairness in unfair situations--are perfectly of the moment. And JewBelong speaks in the language of 21st century social media-- frank, quick-witted, at times necessarily acerbic, to the point--to command attention in an age when attention is impossible to retain.

In high school, I was known for being slow on an already slow cross-country team.
I can cook a mean puttanesca.
The last time I forgot sunscreen was in 11th grade.
My favorite TV show ever is obviously MASH.
Aside from JewBelong, my favorite Instagram influencer/ profile is I just joined Instagram, but my friend Sammy Chu's @the_notorious_chu is pretty amazing.
