The Jewish community is going through a tremendous tragedy and experiencing intense grief and anxiety after Hamas terrorists broke through the barrier fence in Gaza, murdering over 1400 Israelis, taking over 200 people of all ages hostage on Oct. 7 2023, committing one of the worst massacre of Jewish life in one day since the Holocaust. Now we in America sit updating the news every couple of minutes as Israel opens up a major invasion of Gaza in order to destroy Hamas and rescue the hostages. Although we are surely not suffering as much as Israelis at this time, Jews in America are experiencing intense grief, as well as confusion, fear and anxiety with increasing threats of Anti-Semitism in the USA and around the world. The Rabbis Rubenstein and their favorite psychologist, Dr. Ashley Braun-Gabelman discuss their responses and reactions to the ongoing conflict and strategies for coping with the ongoing anxiety, grief and fear we are experiencing. We hope that this episode can be your guide in getting through and coping with this extremely difficult time.
