Tahel - Crisis Center for Religious Women and Children

To help religious/charedi women in crisis or distress and in need of support or aid; to prevent future abuse and violence through educational workshops; to raise awareness of these important issues within religious communities. Since 1993 the Crisis Center for Religious Women has been providing emotional support, advice and referrals for religious women and children who are in crisis. The services provided by the Center include a national 24-hour hotline manned by trained volunteers, in various languages; counseling sessions for victims; referrals to community services and therapists; accompanying victim to hospital; accompanying victim through police and judicial process; Amharic-speaking escorts who serve also as translators. One of our main goals is prevention through education To this end we offer workshops for toddlers, school children, teenagers and parents; as well as for Rabbis, community leaders and professionals.
