About The Truth About Judaism
Celebrating Jewish life. Documenting what matters. Building understanding through truth.
Founded in the aftermath of October 7, 2023, we share Jewish culture and holidays, track global events affecting Jewish communities, and provide the historical education needed to understand Jewish identity and Israel.
What We Do
We create content that celebrates, educates, and documents. From marking Jewish holidays with meaningful posts to tracking antisemitic incidents worldwide, from exploring the history of Jewish food to explaining Israel’s scientific contributions – we cover the full spectrum of Jewish life.
Our Instagram reaches thousands with accessible, sourced content. Our website provides the deeper resources – comprehensive glossaries, interactive timelines, and downloadable articles for those who want to learn more.
Pro-peace. Anti-hate. Pro-understanding.

Why This Matters
Since October 7, 2023, there’s been a hunger for accurate information about Jewish life, history, and the conflict in the Middle East. Much of what circulates on social media is misinformation, stripped of context or openly hostile.
We exist to provide an alternative: content that celebrates Jewish culture, documents what’s really happening, and educates without preaching. Whether you’re Jewish wanting to connect with your heritage, or non-Jewish wanting to understand – we’re here for you.
Every holiday greeting, every news update, every explainer post is created with care and backed by sources. The truth speaks for itself when it’s actually told.
