Have you ever asked yourself, “Why be Jewish?” Us too! The short answer is that Judaism is a somewhat easy and time-tested (like 5,000+ years) way to add meaning and connection to your life. But yeah, sometimes Judaism can be more complicated than your last girlfriend. That’s where JewBelong comes in. Think of us as the friendly, kinda funny kid from your geometry class who explained in simple language and without judgment only what you needed to know for the test. We provide straightforward explanations, readings and rituals to help warm your heart. We promise never to JewBarrass you because we’ve been there. We’re thrilled that you’re here, and hope you find what you’re looking for.

Why make an account?

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
