JFCS Holocaust Center Anti-Semitism Workshop
Sunday, Dec 7th 4:00p to 5:30p
As antisemitism rises globally, many Jewish parents are feeling fear, anxiety, and uncertainty about how to support their children. This interactive 90-minute workshop, presented by the JFCS Holocaust Center, offers a space for reflection, understanding, and practical guidance. We’ll begin by exploring how generational trauma shapes our emotional responses and parenting instincts. Then, we’ll focus on the developmental needs of children at different ages and share age-appropriate strategies for opening and sustaining conversations about antisemitism - from early childhood through early adolescence. Join us to gain insight, share experiences, and leave with tools to guide your family with confidence
