In the wake of Wednesday night’s tragic and senseless shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., many of us are experiencing grief, fear, and a deep need for connection. 

In moments like this, peer support can be a powerful tool for healing and resilience. We invite you to join us at an upcoming Circle of Connection as we process this difficult news and support one another in the face of rising antisemitism.
