Rabbi Dr. Shmuel KatzRosh Yeshiva of RBS Semicha

…and already the Rabbis have stated, a man and a woman who merit it — the Shechinah dwells between them. A major cause of divorce is when a man doesn’t go in the way of the Torah… May it be His Will that this book will be received in Am Yisrael and they will learn it and fulfill it.

Rabbi Eliyahu Ben ChaimChairman of the Rabbinical Court of Badatz Mekor Chaim

…especially in our times, there are very big problems with Shalom Bayit because of a lack of knowledge of how to conduct oneself… the author’s wellspring will burst forward and will merit to bring greater Shalom Bayit in Am Yisrael.

Rabbi Igal HaimoffRabbi of Yeshiva Ohel Simcha

…for sure these words will benefit the Am Yisrael, and Jewish courts that are asked to give a divorce document should give this book first so that peace may dwell between them before a divorce document is issued.

Rabbi Aharon CheinChabad of Georgian Jews

By learning this publication, by internalizing the concepts, and by praying the prayers after each chapter from the depth of your heart and soul — through this, may we merit true Shalom Bayit always, from now until eternity!

Rabbi Refael RibacoffRabbi of Sephardic Congregation of Hewlett
