In our recent national survey of young Jewish women, so many of you told us you wanted a dedicated space to process what it means to navigate life as a young Jewish woman right now.
That’s why JWI's Young Women’s Impact Network (YWIN) is launching Holding Space, a free, virtual support group for young Jewish women, facilitated by Sierra Schnitzer, LMHC. It’s designed to be a safe, supportive place to talk about what you’re experiencing, connect with others who understand, and take a breath together.

What to Expect
We’ll gather midday to reset, connect, and head into the weekend together:
Grounding: We’ll begin with a brief, centering meditation.
Conversation: We'll talk about current realities, challenges, and shared experiences.
Closing: We’ll end with a moment to reflect before heading into the weekend.
