This year's conference is Healing in the Face of Crisis Trauma and Antisemitism and includes terrific speakers including Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, the author of Wounds into Wisdom, world-renown liturgist and poet Alden Solovy and front line Jewish leaders including the President of the Jewish Federations of North America, Eric Fingerhut, the President of the Network of Jewish Health Service Agencies, Reuben Rotman and Interim President of Neshama: The Association of Jewish Chaplains, Lynn Liberman. There are seven sessions addressing the increasing crises Jewish communities face and how to build strong and resilient communities to respond to those crises.

Rabbi Tirzah Firestone will guide the session on Monday, February 24. Rabbi Firestone’s Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Jewish Trauma has transformed our understanding of the role of trauma and how to seek healing.  Trauma is at the core of much of our emotional distress and the forces that weaken and tear apart our communities.  How do we recognize the role of trauma in our lives and the lives of the people we care for and how do we find tools to understand trauma so we can be more effective caregivers?
