Reboot

There’s no single way to be Jewish in America. It’s shaped by migration and memory, tradition, reinvention and stories passed down and stories still being written. ✡️ This Jewish American Heritage Month, we're kicking off the celebration with our powerful video, "𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲," underscoring the vibrant diversity of Jewish identity. Produced by Reboot Studios with Paramount Global, this powerful short film honors the many ways to "look" and "be" Jewish, especially vital in a time when embracing complexity matters more than ever. 📷 Photographer Brian Molyneaux captured portraits of individuals who identify as Jewish, highlighting the rich diversity within the Jewish community across various dimensions such as age, gender and race. Reboot developed a guide offering a range of projects created by artists across our network and in our community, each offering a different lens on Jewish identity, culture and experience.

Designers Ruth Siegel and Rebecca Garza-Bortman met at a Baby & Me class at the Silver Lake Independent JCC, bonding over new parenthood, creative life and shared loss. Having both lost their fathers, they jokingly called themselves “The Dead Dads Club.” That connection became the foundation for Mere Mortals, a new kind of Yahrzeit candle designed to reshape how we show up for grief, memory and ritual. Developed with support from Reboot, Mere Mortals launches on Kickstarter May 8. Be part of bringing it to life. Learn more at meremortals.club
