Join us for small gatherings of support and connection.

No matter your background, religious practice, or political perspective, this remains a profoundly difficult time for the Jewish community. As we approach the third anniversary of October 7, many of us continue to carry the impact of that day and of all that has unfolded since.
 
JF&CS is offering two opportunities for connection and support—a chance to reflect, remember, and care for one another as we mark this painful anniversary.
 
Two Circles of Connection, both held on Zoom, will provide supportive and respectful spaces for participants to share their thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Despite our differences, we will strive to listen deeply to one another and create space for each person’s experience.
 
Please register for the circle you would like to attend:
 

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 7 p.m. on Zoom

Monday, October 5, 2026 at 7 p.m. on Zoom

To preserve the intimate nature of the circles, space will be limited. Please register for the date that works best for you.

If you have any questions, please contact Rabbi Allison Berry at aberry@jfcsboston.org or 781-693-5619. 

About Circles of Connection 

Circles of Connection uses an evidence-based, trauma-informed peer support model to help participants feel seen, heard, and supported as we navigate stress and anxiety in a challenging world. Circles are offered with support from Combined Jewish Philanthropies, The Beker Foundation, and the Ruderman Family Foundation.
