Season 3 Ep. 4 | Breaking the Silence – Elan Javanfard on Jewish Mental Health & Crisis Work
In Episode 4 of Show & Teller Season 3, Rabbi Mordechai Teller speaks with Rabbi Elan Javanfard, a leading voice in Jewish mental health and crisis intervention. Elan works on the front lines with individuals facing severe depression, self-harm, and emotional emergencies, and he brings a rare combination of clinical insight and deep compassion.
This conversation addresses the stigma around mental health in the Jewish community, why so many struggle in silence, and how we can build a culture where asking for help is seen as strength, not shame. Elan’s work is difficult, necessary, and profoundly human. His perspective is a reminder that no one has to walk through darkness alone.
