The Jewish community is afraid of many things - Israel conversations, intermarriage, the continuity crisis, the future of Jewish communal institutions, and more. Without acknowledging these fears, our decisions can be irrational, and to create a stronger Jewish community we must create space to process and understand these fears personally and communally. As social work students we seek to analyze why and how we talk about our fears, and how we can transition from conversations of fear to those of hope which will create a stronger vision for the Jewish future.
