Alef: The NEXT Conversation

Contribute to Alef

Alef is always looking for your contributions. Have a poem? A short story? A photo essay? Maybe a memoir about some of your experiences? Send it along! Please take a look at some of our past issues to get an idea of the style and type of content we typically post. Although acceptable lengths for written works vary based on your specific contribution, please try to keep all written submissions under 1000 words.

Alef is all about exploring your “Jewish Identity” and whatever this means to you. Future issues which we are currently accepting submissions for include:

My Relationship With Israel
Inspiration
Friendship
Stereotypes
Why I Eat What I Eat
Couples/Relationships
The Jewish Woman
Russian Jews

We’re also always looking for submissions in the following topic areas:

Love, Sex, & Sexuality
Dating & Relationships
Marriage & Children
Family Experiences
Hebrew School & Sleep-Away Camp
Jewish Holidays
Growing Up
Career Choices
Being Religious/Secular
Multi-Cultural or Interfaith Backgrounds
People Who Have Influenced You
Journeys of Self-Discovery
Travel & Foreign Lands

Feel free to deviate from the above, to be creative and original. Don’t be afraid to tell it like it is. The best submissions are those that are authentic and true to what you want to express.

We encourage you to contact us about a submission idea prior to submitting. Please send all submissions and any questions you might have to:
alef@birthrightisraelnext.org.
