EJC, Congregation Shir Tikvah Present and The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland Present:

Feeling anxious lately about the state of the world and being Jewish? It's not all in your head, and you’re not alone. Jewish anxiety is not our fault. It’s an understandable response to fear, uncertainty, and anti-Jewish contempt.

Rabbi Caryn Aviv’s new book, Unlearning Jewish Anxiety: How to Live with More Joy and Suffer Less explores what anxiety feels like, and untangles some common Jewish anxiety habits about our safety, worth, and belonging in this difficult world. 

Using neuroscience and Jewish wisdom, Rabbi Dr. Caryn Aviv offers practical tools for how to spot when we’re in a Jewish anxiety loop, and how to respond with better habits.

This interactive conversation will describe what we face, how we got here, and how we can live more fully in the present moment with awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion. And hopefully, less suffering.
