Shalom Bayit is Looking for Interns!

Shalom Bayit is currently looking for college-age interns for the spring, summer and fall. Our interns have a hands-on opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of Jewish youth and the prevention of future domestic violence. Interns serve as our Youth Outreach Educator in our prevention program, Love Shouldn’t Hurt.

Love Shouldn’t Hurt is a teen outreach program providing valuable prevention skills and information about dating violence to Bay Area Jewish youth. Our interactive workshops give 6th grade through college age youth the chance to talk about relationships, both dating and friendships, in an open non-judgmental environment. Internship hours are flexible and workshops led by interns take place in many cities around the Bay Area.

For more information or to apply please email teen@shalom-bayit.org or call (510) 451-8874.


Love Shouldn't Hurt: National Healthy Relationships and Dating Violence Prevention Curriculum

Shalom Bayit is proud to offer our teen dating violence prevention curriculum, Love Shouldn’t Hurt, a healthy relationships curriculum for Jewish youth, ages 11-21. The published version includes a facilitators’ guide, four core workshop units (middle school, high school, college, and parents), options for “stage II” follow up workshops/activities, Jewish teachings on relationships, bibliography, resources, and reproducible handouts and evaluations.

From the program’s inception in 2002, over 4,900 Jewish youth (plus 900 parents and educators) have participated in Love Shouldn’t Hurt workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now, we are pleased to be able to offer this successful healthy relationships curriculum to Jewish communities nationwide.

The curriculum is made possible by generous support from The Hadassah Foundation, Blue Shield of California Foundation, and the Jewish Community Federation and Foundation of the Greater East Bay. We are grateful to them for supporting our vision of giving Jewish youth the tools they need to make healthy relationship choices.

To order Love Shouldn’t Hurt, call (510) 451-8874, e-mail teen@shalom-bayit.org, or fill out the order form. and mail to:

Spiritual Support Groups for Battered Women on Both Sides of the Bay

Shalom Bayit continues to offer confidential support groups in San Francisco and the East Bay for women who are currently in an abusive relationship and for those wishing to heal from a past relationship. Healing groups are educational, spiritual and inspirational. Using a peer counseling model, we address such issues as power and control relationships, different forms of abuse, the decision to remain or leave an abusive relationship, building a new violence-free life, and the ways in which Judaism can support the healing process.

Groups are free of charge and childcare is provided with advanced notice.

For dates, location, more information, or to register, please call toll free (866) SHALOM-7

Groups made possible by the Civic Foundation, the Jewish Community Endowment Newhouse Fund, and the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, Peninsula, Marin, and Sonoma Counties
