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.

I converted to Hinduism last year. I am very Pro Israel so I absolutely love this conversation. Om Namah shivaya and Baruch Hashem !! 🩵❤️

As an ethnic Jew, I have found Hindus a great ally in the fight against Jew-hatred. And the Hindu culture is extremely rich, having existed for thousands of years, and they are a great people.

Increasingly over the years Hindus have courageously spoken out in support of Israel. We are natural allies and I hope the mutual admiration keeps getting stronger. We are both ancient peoples with rich heritages.

Indians, non muslim Indians, are close to the Jewish people. India was the only place where Jews were not prosecuted for being Jewish. I am Punjabi and my best friend is Jewish. I have been an honorary Jew for 25 years. Cheers.

Im DESI / JEWISH and proud. We live in the same neighborhoods , go to the same schools, work at all the same hospitals, research labs, finacial institutions & more. This is why we marry for the last 6000 years. When I go to temple here in NYC , everyone looks like me.

My husband's ancestor was David Sassoon, who went to India from Baghdad in the 1700s and became wealthy trading in cotton. He didn't keep the wealth to himself, he endowed several hospitals, schools and orphanages in Mumbai as well as an entire port which is still called the Sassoon Docks. One of my sons visited the Sassoon hospital in Mumbai, which is now an orphanage, and they have a bust of David Sassoon in their entrance hall. Many countries in Europe have traditionally done their best to forget the contributions Jews have made and it is much to the credit of India that they have not.
