More About Humans of Judaism
The Humans of Judaism gallery is a powerful extension of the highly successful Instagram account founded by Nikki Schreiber in 2014. Born out of a desire to honor her late father, Nikki created a platform to share the rich tapestry of Jewish life, highlighting the diverse stories of individuals from around the world. The account quickly gained traction, resonating deeply with audiences and showcasing the beauty of Jewish identity, culture, and resilience during a time when antisemitism has been on the rise. This gallery aims to celebrate the voices featured in the book Humans of Judaism, which compiles poignant stories and portraits that reflect the strength and diversity of our community. By bringing these narratives to life in a museum setting, the gallery not only honors the personal journeys of its subjects but also serves as a beacon of hope and unity for the Jewish people, reminding us of the importance of connection, understanding, and pride in our heritage.
