WHO WE ARE
Own Your Judaism gives people an opportunity to chart their own path to Judaism and to do so free of judgment or rebuke. We guide people on their journey (without telling them what to do), help people identify what is missing in their Jewish lives, and build community around it. Own Your Judaism helps people activate their Jewish energy and be active agents on their own religious path.
A registered non-profit organization, Own Your Judaism is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and serves an international community. We host in-person, online, and hybrid programs, including learning, celebrating, life-cycles events, and coaching.
