JWA's vision for the Jewish future

This short video, produced for the Jewish Futures competition, represents JWA's vision for the Jewish future—one where everyone and anyone has the power to change and expand the Jewish narrative. Although our video did not win the competition, the judges liked it so much that they chose to screen it at the closing session of the Jewish Futures Conference in Denver on November 7, 2011.
