Many young Jews are taught that they have a responsibility to publicly represent the Jewish people—an expectation that can feel especially heavy during the formative years of personal growth and identity development. In this episode of Future Tense, hosts Anna Weiss, Sami Jinich, and Yadid Orlow explore how to balance the challenges of representation with their own personal development as young Jewish leaders and their relationship with the world at large. Together with guest scholar Elana Stein Hain, they untangle the benefits and challenges of connecting beyond the Jewish community and explore what it means to be Jewish ambassadors to the non-Jewish world.
