Do you want to train your staff to be sensitive to antisemitism? Do your employees interact with Orthodox Jewish or Hasidic customers?

Let Jew in the City train your staff to be aware of antisemitic tropes and understand and appreciate Jewish beliefs, laws, and customs so that they can be culturally appropriate with colleagues or Jewish clientele and provide better customer service. Our clients include Con-Edison and NYU Langone Fertility Center among others.

Testimonials

"Allison the founder of Jew in the City conducted an excellent class. Her passion for diversity and thorough knowledge of Jewish history and faith was extremely useful in increasing the audience’s understanding, so that we can be more sensitive when interacting with members of the Jewish Community. Allison was personable, and always took care to answer our questions and clear any doubts before proceeding. Great job!"

mesmerized by your presence! Thank you."

Naomi

"I really liked how Jew in the City shares her experience in such an honest and relatable way."

"You are an amazing speaker. I loved you and so did my friend. You can really hold a crowd in tune to your talking the whole time!!! Wow!"

Lisa

"Allison’s message was deep and meaningful. The girls and all the adults, myself included, who came to hear Mrs. Josephs speak are all FFB’s, we were and still are totally blown away by her story and have all been able to see a sunnier side of Jewish life."

"I wanted to write to you to tell you what a pleasure it was to hear you speak last Sunday at our synagogue… I became an instant fan. You explained things in an amusing and memorable way, and I was able to get my questions answered. I was excited to attend the event, okay I was a bit star struck, and to actually meet you in person was wonderful. I loved that you were able to tell stories about your personal journey that not only I, a 40 something mom/Hebrew School teacher, could relate to, but also made the older woman at the table find a connection.
I didn’t feel like I was listening to ” a speaker who came to talk about Judaism”, but rather, I felt as if you were a friend who could guide me to look at my spirituality and connection with HaShem in a new way.
By encouraging women to explore their Judaism and spirituality in “baby steps”, you made the challenges that becoming more observant require something all of us should be able to strive to meet. You explained things in a non judgmental way, so that we all felt embraced by our Judaism. Thank you for coming to visit our synagogue. I hope if you are in the Boston area again, I can hear some of your other topics."

"Allison Josephs came to speak at our school, RJJ in Staten Island, for the girls grades 7 and 8. Not only were the girls focused and entertained by the way Allison gave over her story, they found the talk inspiring and spiritually uplifting. The eighth grade could not get enough of her, they kept her for almost an extra hour asking deeper questions to get a full understanding of how Allison found Hashem and the beautiful love she has towards Torah and mitzvoth. I have received calls and messages from parents thanking me for organizing the talk by Allison Josephs."
