What’s Your Southern & Jewish Journey?

We're celebrating 25 years of stories, and we want to hear yours.
This year marks a milestone—the ISJL turns 25! As we celebrate this silver anniversary, we've been strolling down memory lane, reflecting on the incredible journey that has brought us here and the countless stories that have shaped our community. As we gather for the Southern & Jewish Conference, we're curious about your journey. Every path through Southern Jewish life is unique, filled with moments of discovery, connection, and inspiration.

So we’d love to know…

Who inspired you along the way? Was it a rabbi who opened your eyes to new traditions? A teacher who helped you find your voice? A community organization that became your second home? A family member who passed down cherished stories?
​

How has that person or organization shaped your southern Jewish story? Did they connect you with summer camp? Pass down a cherished heirloom? Shape your identity in some other important way? Your story matters to us, and we'd love to share it at our conference in Jackson this month.

​Share your story - and tell us about the person, place, or moment that inspired you. Consider making a donation in honor of someone or something that sparked your Jewish journey. Whether it's a person who guided you, an organization that welcomed you, or a moment that changed everything—your gift celebrates their impact while supporting the next 25 years of Southern Jewish stories.
Share your story here!
