McCoy:
The
Changing Face of Jewish Identity: Inside, Outside, and Other:
Through my work in the field of "Jewish diversity"
I use the traditionally Jewish form of asking questions and facilitating
introspection to explore the changing face and changing times of
our community--especially the evolution of "otherness"
around color.

Angela
Buchdahl:
Kimchee on the Seder Plate
After a painful summer of feeling marginalized and invisible I called
my mother to declare that I no longer wanted to be a Jew. I did
not look Jewish, I did not carry a Jewish name, and I no longer
wanted the heavy burden of having to explain and prove myself every
time I entered a new Jewish community. She simply respnoded by saying,
"Is that possible?"

Freund Rosenblatt and Deborah Hirsch Mayer:
The
Search for Vibrant and Affordable Jewish Life in America
The cost
of Jewish living may make moderate and low income households feel
that Judaism is neither affordable nor welcoming to families.

Vanessa
Ochs:
The Torah of Love
If this body of literature has an impact, Jews will become more
adept at using the language of Jewish wisdom to discern matters
of the heart.

Judith
Kahn:
Single Motherhood and Community
I am a single mother by choice, a Jewish woman who in her late thirties
decided that motherhood was a necessity, with or without a partner...
When I chose to start my family, it felt like just another step
on the ladder of life cycle events that are ritualized in our tradition.

Diamond Goldin:

Tradition
Why doesn't a Jewish organization sponsor a contest for Jewish children's
stories that reflect contemporary Jewish life?
