Shterny Steinmetz, after experiencing a challenging divorce, has become a voice for understanding the unique challenges that divorce presents in observant Jewish homes. Now part of a blended family herself, she speaks passionately about the emotional, social, and spiritual impacts of divorce on children and families, advocating for greater awareness and support within the community. Shterny's journey highlights the importance of providing stability and a sense of belonging for children facing these changes. Through her work, she emphasizes fostering resilience, compassion, and unity for those affected by family breakdowns. Inspired by her own experiences, she founded "My Extended Family," an organization dedicated to supporting children from single-parent and divorced homes in the Orthodox Jewish community.   Watch Peter's Shabbos Experience here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s01ZO13Jq5M&list=PLEyPgwIPkHo77DOhpb1OBl18uLcB-IrUX   More about My Extended Family here: https://www.myef.org/   IG: https://www.instagram.com/myextendedfam/   ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬   ► ► US Mobile: Better Coverage with Better Pricing Get a full data line for as low as $17.50 U.S. Mobile is a revolutionary wireless service that bundles minutes from all three major U.S. carriers, giving you the best of each network.
