In recognition of October being domestic violence awareness month, Rachel Coalition, a division of Jewish Family Service Metrowest, proudly hosted the 2nd Annual Essex County Domestic Violence Vigil on October 6, in Livingston. Over 100 people were inspired and touched by remarks, poems and songs by professionals, survivors and community members. The program ended with the reading of the names of NJ residents who lost their lives due to domestic abuse this year and the lighting of candles in their memory during a moment of silence.

Rachel Coalition seeks to help all victims and families struggling with high-conflict or abusive relationships. Please call 973-740-1233 for confidential information or assistance.
