Here are some gruesome statistics: On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner here in the United States. The National Domestic Violence Hotline, in fact, receives an average of 1,000 calls per day from people being abused, most of whom are women. Three women are killed here every day by a current or former intimate partner. That's nearly 1,100 women killed by a partner each year. In Canada, a woman is killed every six days by her intimate partner. That's 60 women each year killed by an intimate partner. Worldwide, 137 women worldwide are killed by their partners or family members every single day. That’s just over 50,000 women killed by someone close to them every year.  Domestic abuse is a serious problem, and Jewish law has much to say about it. Support the show
