Shalom Bayis Taskforce is an agency whose aims are to help women and families struggling with troubled relationships at home, to sensitize our communities so that a woman can feel less ashamed to ask for help, and to offer professional guidance and pointers to Rabbis who may be approached for advice by someone in a complex and possibly dangerous situation.

​

Our confidential national domestic abuse toll-free Hotline is the backbone of all our efforts.  The Hotline is staffed by over 70 volunteer advocates, many of whom are professional women who work in law, social work, education and psychology. They take part in an intensive training program in addition to an internship. Besides English, we have advocates who speak Hebrew, Yiddish, Russian, Spanish and Hungarian.

WE OFFER LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN A WIDE RANGE OF CASES:

​

• FAMILY OFFENSE/ORDERS OF PROTECTION

• DIVORCES (CONTESTED & UNCONTESTED)

• CUSTODY

• VISITATION

• CHILD & SPOUSAL SUPPORT

• IMMIGRATION RELIEF (VAWA; U-VISA & NATURALIZATION)

​

Sarah's Voice staff also provides assistance and/or referrals related to housing, benefits, education, healthcare, employment and consumer finance issue

The S.H.A.L.O.M. Workshop (Starting Healthy And Long-lasting Marriages) is a highly successful premarital education program that aims to prepare engaged couples for a healthy and successful marriage. Many hundreds of engaged and newly married couples have attended this innovative workshop that teaches them how to increase understanding and sensitivity to each other’s feelings, communicate effectively, build a sense of mutual respect, promote self confidence in each other, utilize valuable tools for conflict resolution and gain better financial awareness.

​

Shalom Task Force is incorporated as a nonprofit organization. Our funding comes from grants and individual donations. Support of this vital effort would be a meaningful way to memorialize or honor a loved one.
