Lori Shepherd - TJMHC

With a challenging year in the aftermath of October 7 behind us, coming together in unity, solidarity, and understanding is more important than ever. As we keep moving forward with hope for a brighter future and the awareness that we are stronger together, community education and relationship-building will play an even more important role in the trajectory of our communal story. Lori Shepherd, Executive Director of the Tucson Jewish Museum + Holocaust Center, joins us for our 10th episode of Total Wellness at the J to talk about the work our organizations do individually and collectively. The Tucson J's mission is to cultivate and enrich Jewish identity, ensure Jewish continuity, foster wellness, and broaden communal harmony! In this episode, Lori shares how the museum has evolved as a beacon of Jewish life in Tucson's history, about the many ways education is used as a tool to honor the past and work toward a more just future not only for Jewish people, but for everyone, and how we are collaborating as a community to deepen our work.
