SUMMARY:Rozana: Peacebuilding Through Health with the Jewish Community Relations Council
DESCRIPTION:Join Greater Washington Partners for Peace for a conversation with Rozana (formerly Project Rozana)\, an international organization that uses healthcare as a bridge between Israelis and Palestinians. Through partnerships with hospitals\, medical professionals\, and community organizations\, Rozana works to improve access to care while fostering relationships across lines of conflict. \nPartners for Peace is a JCRC initiative that highlights individuals and organizations working to advance cooperation\, shared society\, and practical solutions that improve the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians. The series seeks to introduce the Greater Washington Jewish community to efforts that often receive less public attention\, but play an important role in building a more peaceful and secure future. \nRozana CEO Ran Goldstein and Director of International Advocacy Mohammad Asideh will discuss the challenges and opportunities of advancing healthcare cooperation during a time of war and deep division. They will share how Rozana’s work brings together Israeli and Palestinian healthcare professionals\, supports vulnerable communities\, and demonstrates how practical partnerships can create meaningful impact even in the most difficult circumstances. \n \nAccommodations: Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Healing Together: Overcoming Trauma Through Advocacy and Dialogue with the JCRC
DESCRIPTION:Nearly three years since the October 7th attacks\, the Jewish community continues to grapple with profound loss\, trauma\, and how to move forward in an ever-changing landscape at home and abroad. \nThe ongoing war in Iran\, the widening political divide\, and the rising level of antisemitism have added to our collective anxiety. How can we channel these emotions and overcome adversity through fellowship\, advocacy and dialogue? \nJoin us for a thoughtful conversation on how trauma impacts individuals and how it reverberates across families\, communities\, and the global Jewish population. \nRenowned trauma expert Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern and Jewish Women International Chief Executive Officer Meredith Jacobs in conversation with JCRC President Galia Messika Greenberg\, will discuss trauma and post-traumatic growth. Together\, they will weave together clinical insight with lived experience\, offering a deeper understanding of how trauma shapes individuals and communities — and how healing can begin. \nWe’ll also explore the critical role of advocacy in responding to and addressing that trauma — chiefly through the lens of JWI’s I Believe Israeli Women campaign\, which has worked to elevate awareness of gender-based violence\, support survivors\, and ensure that the experiences of Israeli women are seen\, heard\, and believed. \nGrounded in Jewish values of communal responsibility and care\, this program invites participants to consider: What does it mean to truly “show up” for one another after tragedy? How can we support survivors\, hold space for pain\, and foster resilience within our own circles? And how do we move\, collectively\, from grief toward meaning and renewal? \nThe venue will be shared with registrants 48-72 hours before the event. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Empowering Mental Health Providers to Confront Antisemitism with the JCRC
DESCRIPTION:(This program is intended for mental health providers only.) \nIn the last few years\, Jewish mental health professionals have experienced an alarming increase in antisemitic language and actions from clients and colleagues\, at professional conferences and within professional associations. \nSocial workers\, psychiatrists\, psychologists and others in the mental health field are grappling with how to best respond to these situations — or whether to respond at all — while maintaining professionalism and preserving their Jewish identity. \nJoin us Sunday\, June 7th in Bethesda\, MD for a morning of compelling conversation with professionals who are at the forefront of this issue. We will be joined by clinical psychologist Miri Bar-Halpern\, PsyD\, Director of Trauma Training and Services with Parents for Peace.

There is no cost to attend. The venue will be shared with registrants 48-72 hours before the event. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
