What happens when Crown Heights-based women groups Jewish Women Influencers, Chabad Moms’ Corner, Life Coaches, Kallah Teachers, Mashpios, and Mental Health Professionals get together to guide and support women on marriage?
The creation of an informative and elevating series “A conversation on marriage.”
The Tuesday Night Roundtables of Crown Heights, which brings women together for discussion groups throughout the community each Tuesday, will hold a special month-long series on marriage.
Each Tuesday evening this month, some incredibly caring and experienced women of our community will be volunteering time to lend Guidance and Support on the topic of marriage.
“Roundtable Tuesdays” is a new initiative by Jewish Women Influencers of Crown Heights, bringing women together each Tuesday for conversation, learning and inspiration.
Discussions are held at homes in Crown Heights, and highlight women who are making themselves available to shed light and guidance to community women on topics “Purely Family,” organizer Zohar Sasson of Jewish Women Influencers told COLlive.

I hope includes in the information is the fact that marriage is not just about fun and romance, but is something requiring daily investment. And like any exercise towards a goal, includes uncomfortable experiences, which if framed as with an end game, can be embraced, but if not, and the expectancy is rather consistent “love” for whatever one does and however one is… then like most other things with unmet expectations, will, well, do the math…
just to put it out there… in many dating and marriage articles there’s a strong pattern of directing men to be more sensitive and open to a woman’s preferences and desires, which fair is relevant and necessary. however something completely neglected and ignored is what a woman should try to do to maintain a man’s interest and investment. I believe this is especially important because this seems to be a recurring issue later on down the road.(complaining that the man seems detached/uninterested).
