*About the event
Join us for a powerful and transformative event in New York City, hosted in partnership with Rona Ram Lalezary’s Mental Health Is Real campaign and Anzhelika Steen Olsen’s SHER organization.
With record high levels of depression and anxiety, and the rise of heavy antisemitism spewing on the streets and our college campuses, Jewish college students face a nexus of crises amid the new academic year. At counseling centers, mental health professionals who have not lived through the experience of antisemitism have not been specifically trained to make Jewish students feel seen, heard, and understood. thus, incidents may not even be reported to the appropriate agencies that document antisemitism and do not come close to meeting the full range of mental health-related needs.
On Oct 30th we invite college students from all communities for a powerful and transformative event, an evening of meaningful dialogue on Jewish mental Health with renowned voices like SHABBOS KESTENBAUM to discuss how we can gather our inner strength, tap back into faith and repair our broken spirits, collectively, in a post 10/7 world. Featuring renowned psychotherapist and trauma specialist Magdalena Agabs, who will offer transformative tools and insights for deep healing.
