Jewish Listening Line

Need someone to talk to? We’re here to listen.

Our friendly, trained volunteers will listen to your worries or concerns, however big or small they are. Your worries could be about anything, such as social, financial, religious or personal issues.

People call us for different reasons, but often they feel they can’t talk to anyone about their problems. They want someone to listen with empathy and without judgement, while giving as much or as little information as they want. Some people call us regularly, and some only call once during a particularly difficult time.

When you call the Jewish Listening Line you will not receive advice from us. You will have someone on the phone who will listen to you with empathy, kindness and in a non-judgemental manner. This service is free, confidential and completely anonymous.

We receive over 100 calls a month and callers come from a cross section of the community. These include people who are Charedi, Orthodox, Reform, Masorti, Liberal, and non-affiliated. You can call us regardless of your gender, sexual orientation or religious observance.
