Shalom Bayit-NC is a group of volunteers dedicated to ending domestic abuse in our Greater Charlotte Jewish community. Judaism affirms the sanctity of life and the inherent right of each person to a life of dignity and respect. Yet in more than 20% of our Jewish homes, a campaign of power and control, of humiliation and terror, is waged every day. Many of us do not know if what is happening is abuse. Most of us don't know that our loved ones, members of our extended families and our dearest friends, are suffering in silence and shame. We hope by getting informed, you can help join the effort to end this suffering.

There is no place for domestic abuse in our Jewish community

Help is available

Victims are most likely to look to their network of intimate family and friends for help and support. Please explore our site and learn about domestic abuse so that you can recognize the signs and be there for those you love, or recognize that you need to reach out to your community for support. Join us in promoting strong, healthy relationships by being an advocate within your family and your Jewish community. We hope the information you find is helpful and welcome your feedback

Call Marsha at 704-756-9209 or Carol at 704-609-3120 and ask them to link you with a "FRIEND" from Shalom Bayit

We are there for each other and no one has to face hardship alone. Reach out and let us find renewed self esteem and hope together
