““My experiences at Reboot Summit and my subsequent involvement in the Reboot network with years of conversations about Jewish-ness, identity and community solidified my desire to tell my personal story about my own Jewish identity and family narrative. Reboot gave me the inspiration and impetus to tell my story. No matter how confronting or challenging the journey has been, I knew I had Reboot’s support. Reboot allows the difficult conversations to take place and then asks the important question—What are you going to do about it? In this case, I made my fllm. I hope it will allow others to tell their stories and will show that being Jewish is complex and complicated and that’s also ok.”
