  • Description

    History is filled with examples of Jewish individuals and communities standing up to injustice and hate—for themselves and for others. Yet, outside of what is now an old image of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., many young Jews know little of this heritage. To shine a light on this important past, Reboot is partnering with the Yiddish Book Center to launch a unique fellowship. Reboot will invite 10 creatives (artists, writers, designers, journalists, tech developers, and more) to dive into the largest archive of Yiddish literature in the world and transform it into projects that are accessible and meaningful for large audiences today.
