What Does it Mean to be a Jewish Teen Today?

• We’re much more than a religion, but that’s typically how we’re categorized by others. Is that a problem – does it matter? To some we’re “white” – to others, we are not at all.
• How much of our identity as Jews is connected to Israel?  Is that a good thing?
• How are we depicted – and sometimes misunderstood – in pop culture? Are there still Jewish (or, anti-Jewish) stereotypes on TV and in film, in music and in literature? Have things changed since your parents’ day – since your grandparents’ day?
