Endorsement from Rabbi Dr. Avraham Twerski, M.D.
"I am absolutely thrilled to hear about the S.H.A.L.O.M. workshop for engaged couples. Traditionally, the Jewish family was a fortress of stability. In recent years, the number of failed marriages among Jews has risen to an alarming incidence. In many of these cases, young people were grossly unprepared for marriage, and were frustrated when their unrealistic fantasies failed to materialize.
The only answer to thwart this tragic problem is to provide young people with a better understanding of the responsibilities of marriage, and how one should relate to another human being intimately.
The S.H.A.L.O.M. workshop is a vital project and a great mitzvah. May Hashem bless your efforts with much success.
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
