Nearly three years after the October 7 attacks, Jewish women and communities continue to face profound loss, trauma, and rising antisemitism.
On Sunday, June 7, join JWI CEO Meredith Jacobs in Bethesda for Healing Together: Overcoming Trauma Through Advocacy and Dialogue, a conversation with Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern, Director of Trauma Training and Services with Parents for Peace. Incoming JCRC President Galia Messika Greenberg will moderate.
Together, Meredith and Dr. Bar-Halpern will discuss how trauma affects individuals and reverberates across families and communities, bringing together clinical insight and lived experience to consider how healing can begin.
They’ll also examine the role of advocacy through JWI’s I Believe Israeli Women campaign, which raises awareness of gender-based violence, supports survivors, and ensures Israeli women are seen, heard, and believed.
For women in our DC-area Young Women’s Impact Network (YWIN) and Women’s Impact Network (WIN) communities, this is an opportunity to gather for a meaningful conversation rooted in expertise, honesty, and action.
