“Sins of Omission is a courageous wake-up call for not only the Jewish Community but with grave implications for the borders beyond. It reaffirms that Shalom Bayit begins first with peace in the heart. A must read for clergy, and rabbinical students in particular.”

“A solid contribution to the existing literature on domestic violence, Carol Goodman Kaufman continues the important journey of lifting the veil of silence regarding domestic abuse against women who are overlooked and under-served because our society believes such crimes don’t happen to them. This enlightening study of the population of Jewish women who are victimized by their spouses as well as the professionals in place to help them further demonstrates the need for increased awareness and response by us all.”

“What an impressive and important book! Carol Kaufman brilliantly explores how the Jewish community has responded (or, more accurately, has not responded) to the problem of domestic violence. She finds ignorance and neglect, but she also discovers significant sources of strength and hope. Kaufman’s research has major implications for reducing domestic violence not only within the Jewish community but in society at large. Anyone who cares about the problem of domestic violence should read this book.”
