An inspirational, visual collection of 200 Jewish stories, curated by the editor and founder of @humansofjudaism

Nikki Schreiber created Humans of Judaism as an online space where Jews around the world could gather and share positive and uplifting  stories. She launched it six months after her father’s death as a way to find comfort in her mourning and to honor his memory. A mitzvah.
 
Today, millions of visitors and followers find inspiration in its beautiful profiles and moving stories of joy, bravery, survival, community, perseverance, and unyielding hope. More than 200 of those stories are captured, in all their humanity, in this treasure of a book.
 
Here you’ll meet Dr. Howard Tucker, who at 101 years old was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest practicing physician. Lily Brasch, a model and motivational speaker and the first person with muscular dystrophy to walk the runway at New York Fashion Week unassisted. Josh Russ Tupper and Niki Russ Federman, the great-grandchildren of Joel Russ, who founded the iconic Jewish food mainstay Russ & Daughters. Gianni Toso, scion of an Italian Jewish family that’s maintained a continuous tradition of Murano glassblowing for 700 years and creator of a chess set on display at the Corning Museum of Glass. Nissim Black, a Hasidic recording artist. Sam Salz, a running back for Texas A&M and the only Orthodox Jew in NCAA Division I football. Ruth Handler, creator of Barbie.
 
There are inventors, survivors, comedians, artists, activists, writers, lawyers, rabbis, the Righteous Among the Nations, and so many more.
