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.
