"Jewcy has become a cultural icon at the forefront of a new wave of Jewish culture and pride.” - Guardian

“[Jewcy] is the accoutrement of choice for a new breed of Jewish hipsters...”- Washington Post

Jewcy Media Group is an entertainment and media company devoted to helping Jews (and anyone else) find, use, share, and expand meaning and community.

With its online site, theatrical productions, and steady diet of exciting events, Jewcy is the premier Jewish media and entertainment outlet for progressive free-thinkers.

WHY NOW?

In the thick, messy context of contemporary American life, it’s a remarkable moment to be a Jew. There is unparalleled opportunity for people hell-bent on making a meaningful difference with their lives, but also an unprecedented uncertainty about the relevance of old traditions and institutions.

This much we know: we’re hungry. Hungry for meaning. For community. For continuity and clarity and inspiration. For intelligent, thoughtful analysis of consequential ideas and issues. Our affluence, our boundless access to information, our education and unprecedented acceptance into the cultural mainstream carry with them unlimited possibilities – and unlimited possibilities carry equal measures of hope and fear.

So, what does matter now?

With this question in mind, we present Jewcy, an experiment in irreverence, humility, collaboration, and a journalism of ideas. We will chronicle both the people changing Judaism and those it is helping to change; we’ll challenge conventional wisdom and show impatience with people and organizations who think they've got it all figured out.

ENOUGH ALREADY. WHAT IS IT?

Jewcy is basically an online ideas-and-culture magazine born of and for a time when technology has made personal expression far easier and far more democratic. The site attempts to integrate original top-down editorial (hatched, crafted, and made pretty by terrific writers and editors and artists in the traditional production process) with content that users generate with the new tools of participatory media, such as blogs, comment sections, wikis, and forums.

Jewcy is:

A MAGAZINE featuring fierce and funny original content by some of the nation’s finest writers and artists covering faith, pop culture, politics and public affairs.

An EVENTS-SHARING NETWORK allowing both users and organizations to post and publicize the latest Jewish happenings – a central clearinghouse for seekers everywhere hungry for an enriching cultural diet.

A SOCIAL NETWORK allowing Jewcy members to connect to each other through our online community and user profiles.

A STORE providing young trendsetters both the best offerings of the cultural vanguard and a wide range of Judaica to equip them to live a modern Jewish lifestyle.

If you’re talking, then Jewcy is succeeding.
