Discover Humans of Judaism, a visual collection of beautiful portraits and moving stories filled with joy, bravery, survival, community, perseverance, and unyielding hope—curated by the editor and founder of the hugely popular social media brand, @Humansofjudaism.
Nikki Schreiber created @Humansofjudaism as an online space where Jews around the world could gather and share positive and uplifting stories. She launched it six months after her father’s death as a way to find comfort in her mourning and to honor his memory. Today, millions of visitors and followers find inspiration in its beautiful and moving profiles. It is a space for sharing everything — personal stories, Jewish history, Holocaust education,
support for Israel, and so much more. Especially against the backdrop of rising antisemitism online, @Humansofjudaism is a true source of pride and strength in these challenging times—200 of which are captured, in all their humanity, in this treasure of a book.
There are inventors, writers, lawyers, artists, activists, survivors, comedians, the Righteous Among the Nations, and so many more. These are our stories.
@Humansofjudaism’s impact is palpable. With posts shared by millions worldwide and viral stories often re-posted by public figures and government pages, it shows the power of these stories but also the need to hear these stories, share these stories, remember these stories, and preserve these stories.
