Our hearts are broken by the loss of Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. In the wake of their tragic murder yesterday, as Jewish educators we are once again asking questions about trauma, safety, and making Jewish choices in the face of rising antisemitism. Join Dr. Betsy Stone and Dr. Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath in conversation about cultivating a sense of safety for ourselves and our learners in moments of vulnerability.
