Where Jewish Media Meets Jewish Learning

At the end of the day, Jewish educators empower their learners to feel like they're in the driver's seat of their own Judaism. This is the hallmark of Jewish thriving.  

Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath discusses how Jewish media can create new access points for learning, connection, and belonging with Molly Tolsky, Editorial Director of Culture & Lifestyle at 70 Faces Media and Founding Editor of Hey Alma. 

Specifically, they get into what Molly wishes Jewish institutions knew while in this work, how she makes learning accessible with new initiatives like Hey Alma Hebrew School, and what young Jews are seeking as they navigate their own Jewish journeys, especially post-October 7th. 

This conversation will offer insights for those working in both online and analogue Jewish education spaces about how we can create communities where people feel empowered to explore, learn, and find their own paths to Jewish thriving.
