How to Publish Your Story

ReJEWenate welcomes authentic, constructive Jewish voices. Every submission is reviewed for dignity, safety, accuracy, copyright and relevance.

Apply or Submit

Six simple steps

Create a member account

Use the ReJEWenate Member Login page and verify your email.

Apply to become a publisher

Introduce yourself, list your topics and provide optional examples of previous work.

Wait for editorial approval

Approval protects the community and prevents spam, impersonation and harmful content.

Prepare your story

Write a clear title, a brief summary and the full story. VLOG publishers may upload an MP4, WebM, MOV or M4V video directly to ReJEWenate, or paste a YouTube/Vimeo link. Direct uploads must be 50 MB or smaller.

Submit for review

Your story remains private while an editor reviews it. Editors may request corrections or clarification.

Publication

When approved, the editor publishes the story on the public VLOG & BLOG page.

  • Do not publish private addresses, phone numbers, identity documents or sensitive security details.
  • No defamation, threats, humiliation, doxxing, incitement, hate speech or unverified accusations.
  • Distinguish fact, opinion and personal experience. Cite reliable sources for factual claims.
