A graduation event will take place in Jerusalem’s Rodriguez restaurant in the Har Chotzvim area of Jerusalem on Tuesday night 22 Sivan for the rebitzens who have completed family crisis training intervention.

This is the result of the program implemented in the winter of 2015 in which wives of rabbonim who are often quite active in the community would be trained to address family violence. As part of their training they were familiarized with the law pertaining to victims’ rights and they will be working with social workers.

As part of their course, the women visited battered women’s shelters and other related facilities.
