This week we continued speaking about antisemitism. We addressed a question from a student asking advice about how to cope with the hate that they are receiving from friends and family. We moved on to speaking about personal cases, as South Africans, of antisemitism.
We speak about our sense of abandonment as Jewish South Africans in Israel but also recognize the overwhelming fear felt to speak out in places that aren’t Israel.Lastly we spoke about the effect of antisemitism on our mental health. This is a very dark time for all of us but as the celebration of Hanukkah gets closer, we encourage us all to spread our light to rid the darkness.
May our light continue to shine during this dark time.

Ep 6 - Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is one of those terms that get thrown around fairly often on a university campus. But what is it exactly? And how can we learn to cope with it? All that and more on this episode of Thinking Out Loud.
Being an international student in Israel brings about its own challenges and difficulties. It can bring up emotions and thoughts that we don’t know how to deal with. In this podcast, we discuss different mental health topics that might arise for the many international students studying at Reichman University and think out loud with the help of the psychological services at Reichman University.
