Rabbinic Divorce Counseling
Jews Get Divorce offers Rabbinic Counseling with Reb Ezra
Divorce overwhelms us because…
• It is difficult to track all the rapid changes
• It is like putting out one fire after the next
• It is a critical life moment that impacts our families
• It is hard to share the news and we are prone to “explanation fatigue”
• It is challenging to keep our eyes on the prize: the next version of ourselves
• Jewish community is ill-equipped to respond to our new status appropriately
• Advice often comes from well intentioned, but unreliable and inexperienced sources
Get the help you need at precisely the moment that it is hardest to ask for it
“I think of myself as a divorce first responder. Because I went through divorce as both a child and as an adult and I have background as a rabbi and in conflict transformation, I know how to talk about divorce. I also have a roadmap to the kinds of conversations and resources that are helpful at this life stage.” – Reb Ezra
