Endorsements

What makes Miklat Bat-Melech unique, when compared to other organizations fighting domestic violence, is our dedication to the special needs of the Jewish religious community. This is clearly embodied by our providing a proper environment for the women and their children during their time at the shelter. Equally as important, however, is our never ending mission to educate religious leaders as to the signs, dangers and remedies for domestic violence.

In this vein, the following endorsements by key Rabbis in Israel, help religious victims and community members at large come to terms with the existence of domestic violence in their communities and increase the chance of removing religious women from threatening and abusive situations before they turn violent.
