Omek HaKkesher, an organization that has guided over 2,000 couples to marriage, is opening its annual coach training program. While the professional women's track is already full, a few spots remain for in-person training in Beit Vagan, Jerusalem, and for online Zoom sessions. The program aims to help individuals transition into a meaningful profession assisting others in finding marriage and earning a respectable income.
The institute, managed by Nehama and Yehoshua Biton, has been addressing this need for two decades, having accompanied over 2,000 couples and trained approximately 300 professionals across 26 cohorts. Their stated goal is to ensure no single person remains alone, providing genuine, sensitive, and professional guidance to help individuals reach their homes. Abigail Neumann, manager of the seminary, noted that the training opened up a new world and language for her, which she felt was missing for years.
Graduates like Sarah'aleh Stav, who has since guided hundreds of women and teaches in the institute's advanced program, describe the course as foundational for their coaching and therapy careers. Uria, a former math teacher and educational counselor, found the Zoom option invaluable due to geographical distance, discovering that individuals hold their own answers and transforming her work and personal life. The program emphasizes practical application, with students beginning to coach real clients in their second semester, facilitated by the institute, alongside close guidance and marketing training.
Oshrat Arzuni, an educator, highlighted the program's structure as a key factor that pushed her to start working practically in her first year, building confidence and a sense of mission. Clinical social worker Anat Kashi noted having a focused and organized approach for each client. Even experienced professionals, like Rabbi Ayelet Hadaya, a therapist for over 15 years, found the program provided a professional toolkit to guide women toward marriage. Yael Ben Ami, a mother of four and educational consultant, stated that the program's precision, practical training, and close supervision enabled her to turn knowledge into a full practice.
