Rabbinic Advisory Council
Shalom Bayit’s Rabbinic Advisory Council meets annually to provide support to Shalom Bayit and to address matters of domestic violence in the Jewish Community. Discussions this year focused on contemporary domestic violence research in the Jewish community. For 22 years, the Rabbinic Advisory Council has been instrumental in shifting the Jewish community’s response to abuse, as well as helping us care for our community during the pandemic.
