Equipping Twin Cities Jewish teens to know their story, own their identity, and engage the world with knowledge and pride.
Know Your Story is a community wide initiative built by and for the Twin Cities Jewish community. Through a modular, interactive curriculum developed in partnership with StandWithUs, teens gather three times per year for dynamic, immersive sessions that explore Jewish history, peoplehood, and values; how antisemitism evolves and how to recognize it; and how to think critically, navigate complexity, and stand confidently in their identity.
Know Your Story supplements — rather than replaces — existing Jewish educational and Jewish identity-building opportunities, and is specifically designed to reach teens across the engagement spectrum in Jewish life. The goal is not to hand teens talking points, but to empower them to ask hard questions, think critically, and engage others from a place of knowledge and pride. The program is inclusive of teens across all movements, denominations, and levels of prior or current Jewish engagement.
