Whether making a name for themselves in front of the bright lights or behind the scenes, whether they still call Southern Arizona home or have moved to far-flung cities, the 12 young people profiled here bring a wide array of talents to the fields of arts and entertainment. Some have been on a straightforward path since early childhood, while others have found that their careers have taken them down unexpected but fulfilling new roads. Along the way, their roots in the Jewish community have provided inspiration and sustenance.
As the High Holidays beckon us to take time to slow down and reflect, we invite you to enjoy their stories — and we wish you all a sweet and healthy
New Year!
