Materials for Jewish Women and sexual or other abuse, regarding Mikvah or mikveh, weddings, women's health, and Jewish law or halakha

ABUSE /
SEXUAL ABUSE

It’s a painful reality that both abuse and sexual abuse exist in our community, including within marriage. This page provides resources to support those affected and offers guidance for mikveh attendants, helping make the mikveh a safe, healing space and a true wellspring of kedusha (holiness) for all who use it.

Meet Carmit

Carmit is a balanit in Bat Yam who recently completed מרכז עדן - The Eden Center course. Because of the education she received in the course, she knew how to respond to a woman who cried to her about an abusive husband. Her words, and her referral to Tahel, Crisis Center for Religious Women were essential in helping this woman. Moments like these make us proud to be training balaniyot.
