Topic: Becoming unsilenced. Hidden Hasidic woman to outspoken activist.

(ABOUT) At the age of 18, I was married off to a Rabbi in my Hasidic community. I had never even finished high school. For years, I tried to be the perfect submissive wife.
I dressed modestly, even shaving all the hair from my head. I cared for our 10 children and household, all the while enduring the passiveness of a husband who rarely showed affection or gratitude. For over two decades, I was stuck. I was literally living imprisoned in my own life.

When I finally left my marriage with my four youngest children, I faced severe opposition from my family and the community. While leaving to a new city and life was a huge victory for me, it also felt like the start of a battle. I had to fight for custody of my youngest children. Watching my ex-husband and family members criticize my choices and my sanity hurt me to my core…

Today I help women who have been silenced to lead fulfilled and free lives. After overcoming the trauma of my own upbringing and young adult life, I found the confidence to speak out and honor my inner worthiness.. https://beatriceweber.com/
