Welcome to /r/Jewrovision – Jewish Eurovision

I had been meaning to create this subreddit for some time now, but recent events have made it clear that this was the time to do so.

It's a very interesting experience to be a Jewish Eurovision fan. Eurovision claims to be about Europe, love, and peace – yet Europe has shown the Jewish people very little love and peace over the past 2,000 years. Eurovision claims to be non-political – yet the Jewish existence is inherently political. Eurovision claims to be a place where everyone, regardless of background, is included and welcomed – yet it's beyond clear that Jewish people will never be fully included.

So what should we do about it?

There will surely be some Jewish Eurofans who will choose to check or renounce their Jewish identity in the hopes of assimilating into the Eurovision world. I am not one of them. Instead, I am creating a new Eurovision community – a place where we can enjoy Eurovision while being fully and unapologetically Jewish. This is, at its heart, the goal of Jewrovision.

Forever and ever, together, we kibitz to infinity.

Welcome, and thank you for joining.
