Jewish Joy as a Radical Act: Finding Light in the Darkness
Hosted By: My Jewish Learning, Kveller
In a time of rising antisemitism, isolation, and emotional overwhelm, joy can feel out of reach – or even inappropriate. But Jewish joy isn’t frivolous; it’s a tool of resistance, resilience, and healing. In this uplifting and practical talk, Karen Cinnamon, the founder of Smashing The Glass, Your Jewish Life™, will explore how Jewish pride, community, and everyday joy can help us feel strong and whole again. With personal stories, tangible tools, and space for reflection, this conversation will leave participants inspired, comforted, and empowered to show up – for themselves and for their people.
Karen Cinnamon will join in conversation with Lior Zaltzman, senior writer at Kveller.
Karen Cinnamon is the founder of Smashing The Glass, Your Jewish Life™, and Luxe Jewish Life™ – empowering Jewish women globally to live with joy, pride, and purpose. Dubbed the “Queen of Jewish Joy,” she’s an author (of the bestselling Jewish Joy Journal), community-builder, entrepreneur, and speaker helping Jewish women feel strong, seen, and supported in today’s complex world.
This event is the next in a series of events geared toward helping you build resilience and connection in this moment, brought to you by My Jewish Learning and Kveller, with the support of UJA-Federation of New York.
