I am writing to thank you for the workshop this past weekend! As I am getting married very soon, I think that my future husband and I will greatly benefit from it. Taking the time to listen and let the other person know you are listening felt very validating, and actually enabled us to do something we both were too subjective to suggest doing with each other on our own.

The Shalom Workshop was fabulous and gave us guidelines for communication and better understanding, all in a comfortable setting.
Thank You! 


Endorsements

  • "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."
