Dear Friends and Community Members,
Please save the date for an empowering, two-part evening series designed to help us navigate these complex times with resilience, strength, and community connection.
Join ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ฒ๐ป, ๐๐๐ฆ๐ช ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป, ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ช as we explore Jewish identity, psychological safety, and practical tools to feel more steady and supported in real time.
Our National President, Susan Miller, shared why this initiative is so deeply personal to her:
"Back in March, I tuned into an Instagram Live session hosted by Levari detailing how the rise of antisemitism and antizionism impacts our safety and daily lives. They shared a curriculum designed to identify and calm the nervous system from the escalation of conflict. As a former therapist, I immediately thought, 'This is a gift.' It spoke directly to my heart, and I knew NA'AMAT needed to bring this to our community."
Given how much the Jewish community is carrying right now, providing this trauma-informed support is central to our core mission. Because we want to ensure everyone has access to these vital tools, ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐ฟ๐โ there is no cost to attend.
We warmly encourage you to join us and to invite friends or loved ones who would benefit from this supportive space. Zoom details will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
