Abstract: This chapter explores some of the challenges faced by Jewish pupils pertaining to mental health – specifically regarding questions of identity, antisemitism, and educational pressure – and presents some strategies for teachers to cater to their distinctive needs. In particular, the chapter encourages teachers to familiarise themselves with some of the (often overlooked) diversity of the British Jewish community in order to help recognise their assorted experiences and concerns. Indeed, by remaining attentive to the various potential causes of distress among Jewish pupils, teachers can play an important role in enabling them to negotiate their highs and lows and ultimately feel part of inclusive classrooms.
