In times of
crisis, the ability to heal, rebuild, and move forward is essential. As we
continue to grapple with the profound impact of the Swords of Iron War in
Israel and the challenges facing Jews worldwide, this conference will feature
leading experts in psychology, resilience and Jewish thought, and explore
pathways to recovery – both personal and communal. From overcoming trauma to
navigating stigma, anxiety and post-traumatic growth, participants will gain
insightful perspectives and practical tools for resilience.

Join us for a
day of learning, reflection, and empowerment as we explore how to move beyond
adversity with strength and hope.
