“Published a few days prior to Yom Kippur 5764, this is a unique and compelling investigation of the Jewish community’s reaction – or non-reaction – to domestic violence. Concerned with the sins of the community more than the sins of the abuser, Carol Goodman Kaufman finds that … rabbis and community leaders are not doing enough and are not informed enough to help the abused women in their congregations get the support, protection, and guidance they need … The author takes a hard look at the Jewish community, its rules, regulations, and followers, and discovers the ways in which it helps and hinders victims of abuse.”
