Dear Z3 family,

We are thrilled to announce a new feature of our blog called Community Voices. This space is dedicated to you, providing a platform to share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences.

Community Voices is intended for laypeople — the passionate individuals, the everyday members of our vibrant Z3 community.

Whether you are passionate about Jewish life, have insights on current issues, have a story to tell, or simply want to express your unique perspective, Community Voices is your opportunity to contribute to the ongoing dialogue in the Jewish world.

How to participate:

Content and Theme: Your piece should relate to the Jewish world in some way — Jewish life, culture, stories, thought, current events, etc. We value diverse and thoughtful perspectives and personal insights that contribute to our community dialogue. We are seeking thoughtful op-eds that share an idea, story, or perspective relevant, with the aim to foster understanding and conversation within our community.
Word Limit: Please keep your submission to a maximum of 500 words, and come up with a title.
Short bio: Include a few lines about yourself. Feel free to provide a headshot if you are comfortable.
1. Example Bio: "Rachel Bernstein is an active member of the Beth Sholom community and is passionate about learning new Jewish ideas. In her free time, she loves to go hiking with her family and two dogs.”
Submission: Email your piece along with its title to [email protected], with the subject line “Community Voices: [Your Name]”
Review Process: Our team will have a look and may make slight tweaks for grammar, clarity etc. While we sincerely appreciate every contribution, we may not be able to publish all submissions.
Notification: You will be notified within a few days if your piece has been selected for publication. We will also send you a link to the article once it is published.
