Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) answers “What does it mean to be Jewish?” in our latest #0dot2 video.

U.S. Congresswoman Rosen represents Nevada’s third district and was sworn into the 115th Congress after winning in the 2016 election.

Prior to her public service in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rosen worked as a computer programmer, software developer and designer for some of the biggest companies in Nevada including Summa Corporation, Citibank and Southwest Gas Company.

B’nai B’rith International has launched the Zero.Dot.Two Initiative (#0dot2) ahead of its 175th anniversary to discuss ideas around Jewish identity, to educate social media users about Judaism as a proactive way to combat anti-Semitism and to promote the Jewish connection to the State of Israel through the voices of many online influencers.  With approximately 14.4 million Jewish individuals alive today, we represent approximately 0.2% of global citizens.
