We address such issues as power and control in relationships, different forms of abuse, the decision to remain in or leave a relationship, divorce and child custody, building a new life, and finding support within the Jewish community.

For women currently or formerly in controlling relationships, including those seeking healing from abuse in the past. Women of all Jewish backgrounds and affiliations, women in same-gender relationships, women with nonJewish partners, and non-Jewish women desiring a Jewish atmosphere are welcome.
