The Jewish experience is unique to every individual but it also unites us as one tribe. In this anthology, My Jew-ishStory, a group of NYU and Hunter College students share insight into their Jewish experience as they live their own Jewish life.
What a perfect way to pass an afternoon. Each story in this collection is emotional and powerful, as distictive as the students who wrote them. I found myself inspired by their bravery in sharing such a deeply personal part of themselves.
I’d like to thank editor, Penina Shtauber, for the free copy of this anthology in exchange for my honest review.
