Jewish Teens Friendship Study
Healthy peer relationships help teenagers thrive. How do Jewish teens feel about their friendships today?
A pioneering research study about Jewish teenagers today is investigating the friendships and social experiences of Jewish teens, including reflections on trusted relationships and their experiences of anti-Jewish discrimination in their peer networks.
The research is led by Dr. Yael Findler, a postdoctoral associate at CASJE, in partnership with BBYO. To find out more please contact casje

Yael Findler, Ph.D., is a sociologist who studies collective identity and action in relation to suffering, healing and resilience. Dr. Findler recently completed her doctorate at the University of Southern California. Her dissertation focused on approaches of Israeli non-profit organizations to addressing legacies of trauma. She is interested in studying how narratives of trauma and healing shape American Jewish communal identities in turbulent times. Dr. Findler’s mentor will be Professor Briana Barocas of New York University.
BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences.
