Love Needs a Language: A Tu B’Av Practice for Emotional Intimacy

Tu B’Av is often described as the Jewish holiday of love. It invites us to celebrate romance, partnership, and the joy of finding—or continuing to choose—the person with whom we build our lives.

Navigating Mikvah Observance Post-Trauma

I've waited 15 years for this.It took 15 years for my immersion in a mikvah to be a neutral experience. Not traumatic. Not painful. Neutral. From the very first time immersing in a mikvah, a few days before my wedding, I was on my own. Searching in the dark, in unfamiliar territory.

Recently we came across a video of a mom trying to explain niddah to her kids using the meat and dairy comparison, and her daughter's reaction said it all: 'My dad isn't a piece of meat.'
Kids don't hear metaphors the way we do. They take them literally, and sometimes the comparison we thought would make things easier ends up landing completely wrong.
Naomi breaks down how to actually talk to kids about family purity, in language that makes sense from where they're standing, not from ours.
Want us to go deeper on how to talk to kids about this?

When taking Eden Center resources feels a little too much like shopping 🛍️📚✨

One of our graduates stopped by to stock up on some of her favorite resources — and clearly, choosing just one wasn’t an option 😍

We love seeing our materials leave the shelves and head into the hands of women who are using them to teach, support, and empower others.

Who else would need a shopping bag for their Eden Center resource haul? 👀

Grief doesn’t always come with shiva, condolences, or a loss that others can see.

It can follow the death of someone we love, but also pregnancy loss, infertility, illness, trauma, divorce, displacement, or the loss of a future we thought we would have.

And even when mourning has a formal timeline, grief rarely does.

On National Grief Awareness Day, we’re reminding ourselves to be gentler with what we may not see. We don’t need the perfect words, and we don’t need to fix someone’s pain. Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is simply make room for it.

Think of someone who may be carrying grief today, and reach out. 🤍

We couldn't be more excited to share in this simcha. Mazal tov to Zac, Naama, and the whole family!
מזל טוב 🎉

A ketubah isn’t just a tradition or part of the wedding ceremony — it is a meaningful, binding halachic commitment.

The Chief Rabbinate’s new decision to limit ketubah amounts is an important recognition that a commitment should not only carry weight, but also be reasonable and realistic.

As Dr. Naomi Marmon Grumet points out, this is also a step in the right direction in the effort to prevent igun and reduce situations where unrealistic financial commitments become another obstacle in the divorce process.

What do you think about this change?
