Understanding the Reasons for Divorce

In this episode, Aleeza Ben Shalom and Rabbi Yisroel Bernath answer a question from Judith, a widow in her 50s. Judith notices that many divorced men she meets blame their failed marriages on their ex-wives' emotional issues, which they say come from being raised by Holocaust survivors. The episode looks into whether this is a real pattern or just an excuse. 

Aleeza Ben Shalom and Rabbi Yisroel Bernath also talk about how the Holocaust affects later generations. They give Judith and others advice on dating.
