Allison Josephs created "Jew in the City" to help change negative stereotypes and fight antisemitism through storytelling.
"I was frustrated with the media's depictions of my community. And I knew that I could share a more authentic and nuanced story," said Josephs. From traditions and faith practices to everyday family customs, Josephs shares all facets of her life as an Orthodox Jewish woman. She says this allows her to help break down stereotypes, but also to highlight and celebrate sides of Judaism she feels is so often unseen.
The platform has expanded opportunities, such as speaking engagements allowing her to tackle misconceptions and discuss the rise of antisemitism. Josephs also created the "Jewish Hollywood Bureau" organization.
