<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We dig into a topic that has come up in many of the conversations on this podcast: intergenerational trauma. The study of this phenomenon is relatively new, but it’s resonated with many Jews whose ancestors’ survived violence and persecution. To take a closer look at this, Clarissa talks to Jo Kent Katz, a Therapist, Ritualist, and Political Educator. In 2020, Jo launched a website called “Transcending Jewish Trauma” to help Jews unpack and heal from inherited unconscious beliefs and behaviors associated with ancestral trauma. Included on the website is a map that explores the many manifestations of collective trauma experienced by Ashkenazi Jews living in the US.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>EPISODE NOTES</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>On Wandering is going on hiatus!</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>To find out what comes next, </strong><a href="https://onwandering.substack.com"><strong>subscribe to our email list here. </strong></a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Learn more about Jo Kent Katz at <a href="https://www.jokentkatz.com/">jokentkatz.com</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Find Jo’s map at <a href="https://www.transcendingjewishtrauma.com/">transcendingjewishtrauma.com</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">You can follow Clarissa on <a href="https://twitter.com/clarissarmarks?lang=en">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clarissarmarks/?hl=en">Instagram</a> @ClarissaRMarks</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To request a transcript, or just say “hi,” send an email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If you liked this episode try out “<a href="https://www.onwandering.co/episodes/finding-crypto-jewish-ancestors-wresearcher-and-historian-genie-milgrom">Finding Crypto-Jewish Ancestors w/Researcher and Historian Genie Milgrom,”</a> or “<a href="https://www.onwandering.co/episodes/jewish-ethnicity-jewish-joy-mizrahi-culture-and-decolonizing-jewishness-with-yasmine-esther">Jewish Ethnicity, Jewish Joy, Mizrahi Culture, and Decolonizing Jewishness, with Yasmine Esther.</a>”</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Like the show?
