November 27, 2025.
The 27th of November became a day of profound psychological discovery for a group of cherished Holocaust survivors from Netanya, led by Galina Moiseyev.
The meeting opened with warm greetings from Bozena Gasiorowski, the hostess of the Shalom House. She invited the guests to the table and introduced the special guest — Irena Tishchenko, a psychologist specializing in trauma therapy.
One of the survivors raised the topic of intergenerational relationships within the family, which became the starting point for the lecture. Irena explored emotional stability and the ability to cope with stress, irritation, and inner tension, explaining the physiological aspects of emotions and offering practical tools for self-regulation.
When the discussion turned to emotional burnout and ways to manage it, many listeners were deeply moved. Irena reminded the group that “the golden age is a time for oneself, and rest should mean freedom from responsibility,” and invited reflection: “What am I angry about, and what can I no longer change?”
The gathering, filled with sincerity, emotion, and wisdom, reminded everyone of the healing power of shared conversation, compassion, and of God’s tender care present in every shared moment and human connection.
