When her father passed away in 2013, Nikki Schreiber found comfort in her mourning by creating a social media space for sharing positive and uplifting Jewish stories. Thus was born @humansofjudaism, the hugely popular site with over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 500,000 followers across all platforms. And 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, Humans of Judaism is a true source of pride and strength in these challenging times. Next year will be the tenth anniversary of its founding, and the brand keeps growing. Humans of Judaism the book is a highly-visual, inspirational, gifty, volume of 300 short Jewish stories-a mix of the most popular stories on @HumansofJudaism, as well as new content created just for the book. Some are personal stories submitted directly to Humans of Judaism, and others are written biographically by the author. The engagement is substantial, posts are viewed and shared by millions worldwide, viral stories have been re-posted by public figures and government pages. Humans of Judaism is a celebration of Jewish life and community and a keepsake that Jews all around the world will want to own or gift to one another.
