Humans of Judaism

An inspirational, visual collection of 300 Jewish stories, curated by the editor and founder of the popular social media brand @humansofjudaism.

@humansofjudaism is a hugely popular handle, with over 300,000 followers on Instagram; and more than 500,000 followers across all platforms. When her father passed away in 2013, Nikki Schreiber found comfort in her mourning by creating a social media space for sharing positive and uplifting Jewish stories. Thus was born @humansofjudaism, the hugely popular site with over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 500,000 followers across all platforms. And it is a space for sharing everything-personal stories, Jewish history, Holocaust education, support for Israel, and so much more. Especially against the backdrop of rising antisemitism online, Humans of Judaism is a true source of pride and strength in these challenging times.

Next year will be the tenth anniversary of its founding, and the brand keeps growing. Humans of Judaism the book is a highly-visual, inspirational, gifty, volume of 300 short Jewish stories-a mix of the most popular stories on @HumansofJudaism, as well as new content created just for the book. Some are personal stories submitted directly to Humans of Judaism, and others are written biographically by the author. We meet Dr. Howard Tucker, and at 101 years old, the Guiness Book of Records has recognized him the oldest practicing physician; and Irving Naxon, the founder of the Crock Pot; and Nathan Radutzky, founder of the famous kosher candy brand, Joyva; and Sam Salz, running back for Texas A&M and currently the only Orthodox Jew on an NCAA division I football team; and Ruth Handler, the founder of Barbie; Louis and Lillian Zaba, founders of the world-famous Zabar's market; and Gal Gadot, Israeli actress and model, and so many more.

The engagement is substantial, posts are viewed and shared by millions worldwide, viral stories have been re-posted by public figures and government pages. Humans of Judaism is a celebration of Jewish life and community and a keepsake that Jews all around the world will want to own or gift to one another.

Nikki Schreiber created the Humans of Judaism Instagram account in 2014 as a way to honor her father's memory, and as a space for sharing positive and uplifting Jewish stories. Today, Humans of Judaism has over 500,000 followers across all platforms.
