Episode 63- Surviving Childhood Sexual Abuse with Rabbi Avremi Zippel
Show Notes

Rabbi Avremi Zippel was abused by his family nanny for years and thought he was to blame until therapy taught him that he was a victim. 

In December of 2013, Avremi Zippel was ordained at the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown, NJ. After his marriage in January of 2014, Avremi and his wife, Sheina, moved to Utah to serve the Jewish community of Salt Lake City. Avremi and Sheina currently reside in Utah with their three children.


In February of 2019, Avremi came forward and spoke publicly for the first time about the decade of sexual abuse he’d endured at the hands of a childhood caretaker. Since coming forward publicly, Avremi has been an advocate for survivors, working hard to combat sexual abuse in communities around the world.
