Who Are Jews?

Explore thousands of years of history, culture, and contribution in just ten minutes. Who Are Jews offers a compelling entry point into a story far bigger than any single lesson can hold—one of resilience, tradition, and continued relevance today.

This short film offers a window into Jewish identity—rooted in the values of the Center for Jewish Peoplehood, a foundational pillar of Jewish Family and Children’s Services. The Center champions mutual responsibility, belonging, diversity within unity, and active engagement with memory and identity—principles that shape the curriculum, exhibitions, and educational programming of the JFCS Holocaust Center.
