Last year the brain trust at Jewcy HQ decided it might be a nice idea to make a list of a few people we really liked that our readers had to know about. This year we’re at it again, and the Big Jewcy is now officially an annual thing.
Between June 1st and June 15th, Jewcy will be announcing the names from this year’s Big Jewcy class, and updating this page at the end of every day. Keep checking back, and if you’re in New York, we will see you at our huge Big Jewcy event at Brooklyn Winery on June 15th.
