Six things you can do to help end domestic violence in the Jewish community:

1. Listen and believe a woman who tells you she is being abused. Learn how to talk to a woman who has been abused.
2. Spread the word. Tell several of your friends about Shalom Bayit; distribute domestic violence information or brochures to places where women can access them.
3. Organize an educational presentation in your congregation/ organization / community group.
4. Ask your rabbi to give a sermon on domestic violence. Send a blank email to sermons@shalom-bayit.org for some examples.
5. Help your organization establish a policy for handling situations of abuse (for congregants, employees, members, clients). Check out our Kehilla protocols.
6. Make a donation. Your donation goes directly to support battered women rebuilding their lives. Donate online or on send a check through the mail. Click here for instructions
