At a time of significant fear for Jews and so many others in our country, Narrow Bridge Project (NBP) is about reaching out across divides, in spite of – and because of – our fears.

NBP began as an application-based student cohort experience at Brown University, in which students met to discuss the past, present, and future of Jewish peoplehood, Zionism, and antisemitism, our differing definitions of each of these, and how these differing understandings impacted our Judaism, activism, and life experiences as modern Jews. The project has expanded to support cohorts on campuses other than Brown, and offers resources and trainings in understanding antisemitism – created by Jews across the political spectrum on Israel/Palestine – to anyone who wants to learn with us.

NBP is an initiative devoted to impacting how we think, talk and behave with regard to the Jewish past, present and future, not to shaping what we think, say, or do. It is designed not to shift the type of activism in which we engage, but how we engage in that activism.
