Humans of The US |
Welcome to 'Humans of the US', an exciting social media project all about the people behind our communities: you!
Inspired by the famous Humans of New York photoblog, as part of our 150th anniversary celebrations we want to capture and share your stories. We are looking to create a collection of personal stories accompanied by beautiful photos that share how and when the United Synagogue has been a part of your or your family's life.
Happy times or sad, humorous or more serious, we want to hear about any occasion where you or your family have had a meaningful interaction with the United Synagogue, whether with your shul, your community or your Rabbi or Rebbetzen.
All you need to do is write up to 300 words on a poignant, interesting or uplifting event or episode, a friendship or relationship, a change in your life or anything else you want to tell the world about, linked to being part of a US community. All stories will be published online accompanied by personal photos or specially-taken professional portrait photographs: and we want to publish as many as possible!
