In the wake of the events of October 7, Zibby Owens felt compelled to tackle the pervasive wave of antisemitism by compiling an anthology that would give voice to contemporary Jewish experiences. This initiative resulted in "On Being Jewish Now: Reflections from Authors and Advocates," a book filled with essays from various writers responding to antisemitism while also celebrating resilience, identity, and humor within the Jewish community. The video features a rich conversation between Owens, writer and actor Annabelle Gurwitch, and Amy E. Schwartz of Moment Magazine, as they explore themes of identity, the power of storytelling and humor, and the importance of advocacy in today's society.
