What It Is:
- Identity and Trauma: A space to acknowledge and address the trauma related to your Jewish identity, including ancestral trauma and personal experiences of antisemitism.

- Respecting Privacy: If you choose to share, you will not be expected to share intimate details of your personal or family history.

- No Kvetch-Fest: This is not a place for comparing war stories or one-upping experiences of antisemitism.
- Not for Immediate Crisis: This workshop does not provide tools for those in acute crisis situations.
- Not Therapy: This is an educational workshop, not a therapeutic session. No prior experience in therapy is necessary.
