Free Counseling Talkline...When you need to chat!




Occasionally, the challenges of day-to-day life drag you down, and there appears to be nowhere to turn to make sense of the unfolding drama.

If only there was someone to talk to, eh?


The National Counsel of Jewish Women provide a "counseling talkline" for individuals in the community who need to anonymously (and freely) open up about their problems with the ultimate aim of getting a handle on life.

Toll Free: 877-655-3807


The "Counsel" is comprised of young mothers, professors, attorneys, artists, activists, entrepreneurs, students, and even stock brokers.

In sum - the caring women are lifelong volunteers who describe themselves as "plain old do-gooders" - with strong ties in the community, local schools, and political/social institutions in search of like-minded souls.

Legend says that when God created the world he left it imperfect so that mankind could repair it, according to the spiritual principles of Tikkun Olam, which is practiced by the membership at the Council.

Tikkun Olam ("world repair") has come to connote social action and the pursuit of justice.

The phrase has origins in classical Rabbinic literature and in the Lurianic Kabbalah, a major strand of Jewish mysticism originating with the work of the 16th-century Kabbalist, Isaac Luria.

Toward this end, the Jewish "Angels" at the Council have fervently pursued their mission to:

*Free children from the yoke of illiteracy
*Help women find their voice and hold their hands through crises
*Clothe the needy
*Teach the young about the joys of discovery, learning, and reading
*Teach children to dream.
*Provide skills so that individuals may achieve
*Protect women`s right to choose
*Protect the individual rights of all.
