Shalom Bayit, Ending Domestic Violence in Jewish Homes Information

Shalom Bayit’s mission is to foster the social change and community response necessary to eradicate domestic violence in the Jewish community. • We strive to create effective, culturally-based strategies to improve Jewish community accountability and response to domestic violence. • We strengthen the future of our community by teaching our youth, adults, and community leaders to respond when violence occurs. • Our goals are to support and advocate on behalf of Jewish battered women and their children; to educate the Jewish community and its leadership about domestic violence; to empower Jewish youth with the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy relationship choices; to organize effective abuse prevention and intervention strategies; and to improve Jewish women’s access to domestic violence services.
