By Rabbi Emma GottliebI think most of us would agree that the past year has been traumatic for Jews all over the world. We have experienced the intense combination of secondary, collective and generational traumas brought about by October 7th and the resulting war. While many of us have heard of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), there is also something called Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), which is when there are positive changes resulting from a life crisis or traumatic event.
