Helping Jewish Communities Cope with Current Threats and Today’s Chaos

Join Oren Raz for an Essential Community Discussion

In these unprecedented times of rising antisemitism, global conflict, and community anxiety, Jewish organizations need practical tools to navigate today’s challenges.

Oren Raz, MA, MFT, is a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical experience, bringing a unique perspective shaped by his extensive academic background and military service.

After completing his BA at Tel-Aviv University (1994) with dual four-year degrees in Philosophy and Psychology, plus Social Work, Oren served in the Israeli Army’s elite intelligence unit before immigrating to the United States in 1997. At Pepperdine University, he completed all PsyD coursework and earned his Master’s degree with honors in Clinical Psychology, receiving recognition through induction into the university’s Honor Society.

Oren’s unique background living and operating both in Israel and the USA while understanding human trauma enables him to deeply understand the current fear the Jewish communities face while providing tools to deal with it based on his own vast experiences both as a business consultant and psychotherapist dealing with trauma and recovery.

During this candid conversation, we’ll explore:

• Managing collective anxiety and maintaining clear decision-making under pressure
• Co-regulation techniques for supporting teams, communities, and families
• Building psychological safety when external threats feel overwhelming

This isn’t a formal presentation—it’s a safe space for authentic conversation with someone who understands both the psychological and cultural dynamics our community faces.
