In today’s fast-paced and emotionally charged digital world, social media can be both empowering and overwhelming for students, especially when issues related to identity, antisemitism, and current events dominate their feeds. Developed by AJC’s Center for Education Advocacy, this guidance offers practical strategies to help Jewish students engage with social media in ways that are emotionally safe and responsible.

The Jewish people are often discussed in terms of religion alone, but Jewish identity is far more layered: encompassing religion, ancestry, peoplehood, culture, history, and ongoing connection to the Land of Israel.

As a Jewish teen in public school, I found that participating in the LFT program this year was a very valuable experience.
