Middle East Crisis: Resources

We recognize that there is a lot of misinformation circulating in the media and many of you are looking for trusted resources.  We continue to follow the situation, compiling resources and monitoring for any issues that arise locally. Below we’ve compiled some helpful links. 

In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, or are looking for additional resources to help you or your family better understand and navigate the current conflict in the Middle East, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Jackie Congedo, directly at jcongedo@jfedcin.org.

We’ve heard from parents of teenagers who’ve shared that their teens are having difficulty navigating conversations with friends, both on social media and in person. To meet the needs of our Jewish students and their friends, in partnership with ish, we are offering teen-centered discussions and resources, no matter where they stand on the current conflict in the Middle East. Please share this Google form with teens you know, and someone from the ish team will be in touch with them in the coming days.
