Join us for the seventh and final webinar in JReady’s series on combating antisemitism:
“Harnessing Hope: Enhancing Resilience in Challenging Times”
June 19, 2025, at 18:00 IST/ 17:00 CET / 11:00 EDT
Moderated by Dr. Shelley Kedar, Director of the Connecting the Jewish People Unit at the Jewish Agency, this webinar will feature insights from Prof. Bruria Adini, Head of the Emergency & Disaster Management Department at Tel Aviv University, and Dr. Dorit Redlich-Amirav, an occupational therapist and researcher specializing in hope and mental health in educational and healthcare settings.
In the wake of the October 7 attacks and the subsequent global surge in antisemitism, we will explore with renowned researchers the concept of hope as a vital element in fostering personal and societal resilience.
Prof. Adini’s research underscores hope as a key predictor of societal resilience during crises, including armed conflicts and pandemics.
Dr. Redlich-Amirav emphasizes the role of hope in enhancing mental well-being through meaningful activities and its transmission across generations.
Participants will gain practical tools to cultivate hope in their personal and professional lives, reinforcing their capacity to navigate challenges and support their communities.
This session aims to empower individuals with strategies to harness hope as a driving force for resilience and positive action.
