lmost everything is now
online, from newspapers
and books to TV shows and
community, so it makes sense that
in today's world reflection should go
digital.
During the traditional period of
reflection during the Jewish High
Holidays in September, Reboot's 10Q
project responds by sending a question
a day through email for 10 days, offer-
ing a modern way for people to reflect
about their lives.
The questions from 10Q (www.
doyoulOQ.com ) start Sept. 24 and are
not religious in nature but focused on
life, goals, plans for the future, rela-
tionships, our place in the world and
more.
10Q is an ambitious online effort to
reverse the trend of living only for the
moment from status update to status
update, from tweet to tweet, which
has taken over the notion of long-term
reflection.
Individuals' answers are sent into
a digital vault at the end of the pro-
cess and a year later the answers are
returned and the whole experience
begins again. The idea is for partici-
pants to make an annual tradition out
of answering the questions, building a
personal archive for future years.
"In an era when what you posted
on Facebook and Twitter yesterday
has already disappeared into the ether,
there's something very beautiful about
getting an opportunity to visit with
your last year's self year after year after
year:' said playwright Nicola Behrman,
one of the creators of 10Q. "It's a way
to look from a very different perspec-
tive at where you've been, where you
are and ultimately where you're going.
"The project was founded in 2008
by Reboot, a Jewish cultural organi-
zation that seeks to reinvent and re-
imagine Jewish rituals and traditions,
along with writer Ben Greenman,
Behrman and Reboot Associate
Director Amelia Klein:'
10Q resonates with an ecumeni-
cal, multi-generational audience with
participants ranging from teenag-
ers to grandparents. Although the
project is rooted in the Jewish idea
of ethical wills and reflection, teshu-
vah, and occurs during the 10 days
between Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur, it has attracted people of all
backgrounds and denominations,
including Catholics, Episcopalians and
Buddhists.
