About

What is Angels of History?

Angels of History helps individuals reflect on the past to better navigate Jewish identity in the present.

We provide a space for those with Jewish ancestry to connect and engage in dialogue around the most pressing issues impacting us and our communities today.

Through discussion groups, workshops, and retreats, we create compassionate, engaging environments where participants can explore meaningful, and often challenging, conversations that shape the diverse landscape of Jewish identity and community.

Our aim is to deepen participants’ understanding of their Jewish identity, empowering them to address the complex issues facing Jews amidst increasing polarisation within relationships, communities, and society.

Founded in 2018, Angels of History emerged from the need for a space where Jews could come together to express the diverse emotions and experiences arising from the weight of history. As an independent initiative, we are not affiliated with any specific stream of Judaism or Jewish communal organisation, welcoming all who seek to engage with their heritage.

Why Now?

With deep divisions and fragmentation affecting both the Jewish community and the wider world, our work has never been more urgent. The current media landscape amplifies polarisation, leaving little room for constructive, nuanced, and thoughtful conversations.

Our goal is to reduce fragmentation and foster new forms of connection through dialogue.

So how might we do this?

Instead of relying on the usual channels of political debate, we believe that bridging divides through better communication is essential.

By reflecting on our diverse Jewish histories, we can forge deeper connections, building the courage and resilience needed for meaningful dialogue. Our process isn’t about meeting in the middle, but about gaining new clarity on our own perspectives and allowing for a deeper understanding of others.

In response to growing fragmentation, we create spaces that encourage bridging rather than division—where people can engage in thoughtful conversations, process our often traumatic past and better understand how this impacts the present.

We are striving to cultivate a more connected and compassionate future for Jews and others, helping individuals and communities to navigate the challenges of an increasingly polarised world.

We are starting small and welcome you to join us with open hearts.

Who are we?

Angels of History was co-founded by Daniel Eisenberg, Alex Eisenberg, and Lea Misan.

As therapists and facilitators, we’ve been working with groups of individuals with Jewish ancestry to navigate the impact of our collective history since 2018, drawing from even longer experience in our personal practices.

Our work is trauma-informed and rooted in a deep understanding of how our varied Jewish histories shape our experiences and emotions in the present. We recognise the profound influence of generational trauma and collective memory on identity and well-being.

Our approach integrates a range of expert practices designed to help individuals connect and release at physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. By doing so, we aim to foster resilience, confidence, agency, and joy—enabling participants to heal and thrive in both personal and communal contexts.
