Yachet (Jackie) Junger, LMSW's experience working with the Jewish community

My engagement with the Jewish community has been a lifelong journey, rooted in the fabric of my upbringing. From early on, I found myself immersed in the diverse tapestry of the Jewish community, encountering individuals from various backgrounds.
