Naomi Ackerman, an Israeli actress who was commissioned by the Israeli Ministry of Welfare to write a play about domestic violence, is coming to Cincinnati from November 10–12. The pandemic exacerbated the existing crisis of domestic violence. The JWI’s (Jewish Women International) report, “Domestic Violence in the Jewish Community,” stated, “The pandemic has created heightened risks for women and families as stay-at-home orders, unemployment, financial hardship, and trauma correlate with an increase of gender-based violence.” According to Women Helping Women, one in three women and one in four men have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
