The War Against Israel: How to Feel Supported, Connected and Comforted with Everything Going On Right Now

17/10/2023 by Karen

If you’re feeling isolated, shocked, heartbroken or scared, and unsure how to communicate about everything happening in Israel with your non-Jewish friends, colleagues, or on social media, watch the replay from last Sunday’s community get-together where you’ll learn:

  • How to handle friends who are outspoken about other issues, but are silent on Israel
  • Tips for talking about the war in Israel effectively
  • When to engage and when to walk away
  • How to handle comment trolls
  • Self care: How to deal with the stress of Jew hate
  • Basic history of the conflict, and resources on where to find out more

>> WATCH NOW

Some of the comments that have come in from people who have watched it are:

“I feel very confident now on how to approach others on the topic. Thank you so much”

“I’ve been feeling so alone. I don’t anymore!”

“Loved the ‘Chevruta”

“I might be able to sleep tonight for the first time in more than a week. It is just so nice to not feel alone.”

“Thank you for giving us straightforward ways of dealing with what we are all facing”

“I have felt so alone going through all of this, and now I feel connected + comforted”

“Thank you, you have brought light and made me feel better and hopeful”

“Not to waste time on idiots and trolls. More Jewish Joy and Hope!”

“Thanks for giving feeling of support, tips, just got to know you and love it!”

>> WATCH NOW + FEEL EMPOWERED
