Jewish Care

Singular Challenge is a group that aims to help members of our community who have been recently separated or divorced.

In the Jewish community, social lives tend to be based around couples yet now two in five Jewish marriages ends in divorce. Even with the support of family and friends, people who are newly separated can experience a sense of isolation.

Whether or not the separation is at your instigation or your partner's, learning to cope and meeting the challenges of your changed situation can be difficult and in some cases traumatic.

This group offers a warm and friendly environment in which to meet other people going through a similar situation. It provides practical help and advice, together with mutual support and friendship, so members can start to put their lives together again.

What do we do at Singular Challenge?
The group meets weekly with regular guest speakers focusing on different relevant topics. Issues covered include: 

• Alone in London 
• Taking the fear out of finance 
• Facing up to festivals 
• Entertaining alone 
• Security and safety 
• Separation and divorce - legal matters
