What Do I Do with All This Heritage?

A whimsical and thought-provoking journey into the lives of Asian Jews as they reveal their true stories of struggle and triumph holding two age-old traditions in their heart.

Jewish and Asian cultures are filled with history and heritage. Are you an Asian Jew with a humorous or heartbreaking story of when your mixture of heritages was too much to handle? Or when it was a source of strength and inspiration? Is it wrapped up in a story of unexpected romance, drama with family or work, or a moment when how you saw yourself changed?
