ABOUT JEWELL
JEWELL is an initiative to promote and enhance holistic wellbeing and resilience within the Cape Town Jewish Community.
​​Rising mental health challenges, the impact of global and local crises, and increasing feelings of vulnerability have highlighted the need for a proactive and coordinated approach to wellness.​​​​
JEWELL is building a community of practice where organisations and practitioners in the Jewish community are able to connect, share, and support one another in order to address current and evolving individual and community wellness needs.

JEWELL is growing a trusted directory of wellness providers, resources, and events.​​
Through this community of practice, Jewish community members will be offered a range of talks, workshops, webinars, support groups, and events, in response to their individual and family wellness needs.​
