Cursus
The Mitzvah of Forgiveness – The Mitzvah of Joy
Forgiveness, Joy, Humor and Jewish Wisdom
Cursus-informatie
Following the success of The Right to Joy – Returning to Simcha as Spiritual and Biological Intelligence, this new seminar explores two central Jewish mitzvot with profound personal, communal, spiritual and biological significance: forgiveness and joy.
The seminar begins immediately after the High Holidays, during the transition from Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot into the new year. As nature moves into autumn and prepares for winter, participants are invited into a personal and collective journey of reflection, release, renewal and growth.
The opening session takes place on 6 October, on the eve of the anniversary of 7 October. This creates a meaningful opportunity to gather as a community, acknowledge personal and collective experiences, and begin the journey with compassion, resilience and hope.
Jewish tradition teaches that both forgiveness and joy are not merely emotions, but practices. They are mitzvot that influence our relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

Mevr. Tamar Robin Star
Tamar Robin Star is a certified life coach and holistic trauma therapist, specializing in PTSD, C/PTSD, and chronic illness. She developed the TTS Rewiring Method after years of working with EMDR and trauma-healing techniques. In her certified practice in Koog aan de Zaan, she treats PTSD soldiers, abuse survivors, and chronically ill clients. A former lieutenant in the Israeli army, Tamar witnessed a terror attack on her brigade but only realized at 30 that she had been living with PTSD. This led her to develop innovative trauma-healing techniques, combining scientific knowledge, storytelling, and group dynamics. Since 2011, she has performed as the first Jewish Israeli female stand-up comedian internationally, using humor and storytelling as tools for healing. From 2015-2019, she was a theater teacher and director, leading an Israeli improvisational theater group for adults and students in Amsterdam. After October 7, she gave 13 free trauma first-aid lectures to Jewish and Israeli communities worldwide. She also provides team-building workshops for corporate teams in transition, with clients including Etos, Fontys, HvA, and Fonq. Her mission is to unite and heal Jewish and Israeli communities, connecting personal healing with national resilience through trauma recovery, storytelling, humor, art, science, writing, and journaling.
