New Frontiers in Jewish Engagement
in partnership with the Jim Joseph Foundation
Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 2 pm ET
Recent research from the Jim Joseph Foundation reveals a nuanced picture of how young adults connect to Jewish life. They’re finding meaning through relationships, culture, traditions, and community, often digitally, and often outside the longstanding framework Jewish institutions have used to create engagement and measure success. In many ways, this echoes what we ourselves have been seeing across 70 Faces Media's brands, especially on Hey Alma.
So what do these new types of engagement mean for the future of Jewish life? The answers may change how organizations think about reaching young adults — and about how we can create innovative opportunities for deeper connection and belonging, online and in person.
Join 70 Faces Media and the Jim Joseph Foundation for a free webinar discussing the findings and lessons of the study, "Project Prism: A New Map of Young Adult Jewish Life," and how our work is responding to this changing landscape.
