Societal Antisemitism and Islamophobia negatively affect the mental health of Jews and Muslims domestically and across the globe. As a result, these prejudices can lead to difficulties with depression, anxiety, states of hyper-vigilance, and even suicide across both communities respectively. In this three-part podcast, we unravel the ideas behind Antisemitism and Islamophobia and discuss their various permutations over the course of history to the modern day. We share our personal experiences with Antisemitism and Islamophobia and explore the ways in which they impact the mental health of Jewish and Muslim communities at large. Lastly, we offer resources and hold space to help our listeners and communities to heal and transcend the impact of this societal prejudice.
