Bereshit בראשית

The devastation of October 7 profoundly impacted all of us, in Israel and around the world. Whether our Jewish identity was previously central  or marginal to our professional identity, something has shifted on the global street which affects our experiences and perspective. Rising antisemitism has seeped into our professional spaces, workplaces, and classrooms. Four months on, two of our professional colleagues are still held captive by Hamas - we are desperate to advocate for them but are unsure how or if we can do so successfully and safely in our global professional circles.

With all this in mind, we present B’Yachad: Jewish Occupational Therapy Network. It’s the network we never thought we would need. We are starting slowly and will build it together with all of you.
