Lori Holtzman started #volunteering with the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry in November 2020. Delivering food for the Pantry allowed her to support neighbors through difficult times, while also giving her the flexibility to bring her children with her. Thank you to Lori!

Talking to your children about traumatic events can be difficult. But having these important conversations helps kids better feel safe & supported.

Following the traumatic events in Israel this weekend, here are tips from @childmindinst to help kids cope with their feelings. 1/5

[JFS St. Louis @JFSSTL]

Tip #3: It is important to understand how your child views the situation, and what is confusing or troubling to them. Share developmentally informed information about what happened. It’s always best to learn the details of a traumatic event from a safe, trusted adult. 4/5
