Describe Your Initiative The Popup Judaism Project brings Judaism to the streets of the DC area to help young Jewish adults find and connect with their Jewish identity. We meet young adults where they are (literally) to engage in fun, meaningful Jewish programming, while serving as a connection point to the broader ecosystem of organizations and offerings. What Are You Hoping to Learn from the Initiative? There are roughly 70k young Jewish adults in the DC area with only a small percentage engaged in programming. I’m excited to explore ways to increase engagement and help folks get connected in a meaningful way.
