Date: May 19, 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined Gesher Community Care, the Chicago Jewish Alliance, and the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel for this important conversation on Jewish resilience, healing, and hope in a post-October 7 world.

Drs. Shelly Steinwurtzel, Jessica Zmood, and Josh Simmons shared valuable insights on navigating trauma, strengthening Jewish identity, and finding hope amid rising antisemitism. We are grateful to our speakers and attendees for making this crucial discussion so meaningful.
