NCJW to co-sponsor Symposium with KOLOT
February 8, 2010 is the date to save for our Symposium. The subject is Domestic Abuse in the Jewish Community. The keynote speaker of the Symposium will be Rabbi Diana Manber.
Rabbi Manber now sits on the Board of Directors and chairs the Jewish Women's Caucus at the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She is also the director of Dayenu, the
domestic violence initiative of the New York Board of Rabbis, named for the Hebrew word for "enough". The organization works with clergy and congregational leaders of all faiths to
prevent violence and bring the issue to the surface.
Other speakers at the Symposium include Clinical Psychologist Dr. Elaine Rotenberg, attorney Tana Sachs Copple discussing legal issues pertaining to abuse, and a representative from Palm
Beach County Sheriffs Office to discuss law enforcement.
The Symposium will be Monday, February 8 from 10-noon, at Temple Beth El in West Palm Beach. More details on the Symposium will be in future bulletins, but please mark your calendars now for this important event.
Volunteers from NCJW are needed to work on the symposium. If interested, please contact Judy Traub, jftraub@aol.com.
