Collecting Asian Jewish Stories

Jewish and Asian cultures both trace back millennia and are filled with history and heritage — and no one knows this more than those who are part of both, Asian Jews! Are you an Asian Jew with a humorous or heartbreaking story of when your mixture of heritages was too much to handle? Or when it was a source of strength and inspiration? Is it wrapped up in a story of unexpected romance, drama with family or work, or a moment when how you saw yourself changed?

Asian Jews of mixed heritage (including patrilineal Jews), adoptees, Jews-by-choice — we want your story! Central Asian, East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian Jews — we want your story! It could end up in a new theatre show full of the true stories of Asian Jews!
