Taking Action Together: “Trauma & Atrocity: The Boundaries of Understanding and Emotion” with Dr. Danny M. Cohen
Taking Action Together: “Trauma & Atrocity: The Boundaries of Understanding and Emotion” with Dr. Danny M. Cohen
When mass-violence fills our screens, we can choose to engage or switch off. But what can’t we control? How can we navigate our visceral emotional responses, including vicarious trauma? How should we respond to the unexpected responses of other people? And when we try to confront and learn about hate-fueled atrocity, what must we admit that we will never understand? Join Dr. Danny M. Cohen, a writer and professor at Northwestern University, in this exclusive webinar on managing our emotions to rise to the present moment. An expert in Holocaust memory and education design, Danny will equip us with the tools we need to process major world events in real time.

Preparing for College – Program for High School Seniors and Parents
Preparing for College – Program for High School Seniors and Parents
As our high school seniors prepare for college, it is more important than ever to be prepared for the issues they may face as Jewish students. Since October 7th, Jewish students are experiencing an unprecedented wave of antisemitism. A survey of Jewish college students by the ADL reports that 73% have experienced or witnessed some form of antisemitism since the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year. Prior to this school year, 70% of Jewish college students experienced at least some form of antisemitism throughout their entire college experience. Parents and students are invited to join the BJF’s Jewish Community Relations Council for a special program to talk about the issues we are seeing on campus, what students may encounter and strategies and resources to utilize if they do.

Kehillah Service: The Amen Effect led by Sharron Swain
Kehillah Service: The Amen Effect led by Sharron Swain
How do we manage times of hardship and fully embrace moments of joy—not alone, but in community? What does Jewish wisdom offer in terms of how we can truly show up for each other? Rabbi Sharon Brous grapples with these questions and more in her book The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World. This monthly alternative service is called Kehillah, or community, and will include stories and practices based on this book, along with songs and silent reflections. Reading the book is not required, and you're welcome to come to one or all nine sessions throughout the course of the year. Of course, reading the book will add richness to your experience, if you feel so moved. A copy of the book is available for browsing in the Reading Room at Beth-El. Sharron Mendel Swain was raised in an interfaith family long before that was the norm, and has been a mindfulness practitioner her entire adult life. A few FAQs: Q: What is the relationship of The Amen Effect, by Rabbi Sharon Brous, to these sessions?
