The events on October 7th, 2023, and the subsequent war in and around Israel have brought about profound feelings of dread, anger, anxiety, and grief for many local members of the Jewish community and others. This is not a group to discuss politics, this is a group for support and to learn ways to cope with thoughts and feelings that might be overwhelming or confusing.
Jewish Family Service of the Desert (JFS) is offering a group for anyone seeking support, a chance to share their feelings of sadness and worry or a place to feel accepted.
The group Shoulder to Shoulder will meet via Zoom biweekly 4:30–6 pm, starting Monday, May 20, with 8–10 sessions designed to help participants mitigate troublesome and sometimes debilitating feelings associated with the atrocities of Hamas’ actions and the subsequent rise in antisemitic words and actions throughout our country and the world.
