Healing Intergenerational Trauma:
Images of Light & Hope
with Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Ph.D.
We live in a world where violence is an all-too-common occurrence. Sadly, the effects of violence often ripple
through time leaving their difficult legacies for new generations. How do we process and transform traumatic
events so they do not dominate the lives of survivors and succeeding generations?
!Join us in a conversation of healing with Rabbi Firestone. She will discuss the impact of
mental images in the healing of extreme trauma and share her remarkable stories about
Jewish trauma survivors who demonstrate unconventional responses to their catastrophic
injuries. These inspiring narratives remind us of our human capacities--not only to heal
ourselves but also to transform our ancestral inheritance from fear to love, tragedy to
compassion. !Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Ph.D., is a Jungian psychotherapist, author, and Rabbi Emerita of
Congregation Nevei Kodesh in Boulder. Her publications include With Roots in Heaven, The Receiving,
The Woman’s Kabbalah, and a forthcoming book Trauma and the Jewish Soul.
