Special Series Part 2 - Jewish History and Trauma - Sephardim and Mizrachi

Part 2 of Jewish History and Trauma - In this episode Rabbi Spiro and Professor Elan Javanfard explore the chronological and psychological history and experiences of Sephardic and Mizrachi Jews and how their past has shaped and created those communities into the way we know them today. How does honour, respect and family play a huge part in these communities in both healthy and unhealthy ways, and how does a perspective on who is “outside” and “inside” create a loyalty and Jewish practice that is unique. Welcome to a special three-part series of Remember What's Next called Jewish History and Trauma. Ellie Bass and  Rabbi Ken Spiro are in conversation with Professor Elan Javanfard who is a  researcher and expert in Jewish intergenerational trauma. Together, we are going to trace the full arc: where our collective wounds come from, how they live in us today especially now and what healing might actually look like going forward.Find out more about Professor Javanfard and his work: https://www.elanjavanfard.com/ and check out his blog: https://nefesh.org/blogs/Ejavanfard Want the full story?
