Honorable Judge Shelley Eisenberg
There is no one more suitable for the position you are elected to hold as the president of the family court, from my personal experience in your courtroom I saw a judge who is a mother who thinks only in the best interests of the child, a judge who knows how to ask and investigate all sides and arrive at the truth even if it took hours, she did not cut any discussion short and let everyone speak And let me say this, as a religious traditionalist I was glad that all the court hearings were held by the Honorable Judge Sheli Eisenberg and not at the Rabbinical Court and I don't want to expand on the subject, I came to the court with a lack of trust in the judicial system in a cold place and I was happy to see a place with a humane and warm judge who explained to us before the hearing how important The best interests of the girl and how important it is that we the parents become mature enough and reduce the damage to the girl as much as possible.
I wish Judge Shelly Eisenberg continued success and rise to the top in the legal world
I am a young man at the age of 60 and I was always brought up to uphold the law and I did so, the truth is that I always thought that the courts were a cold and emotionless place, unfortunately at the age of 60 I divorced and we have an only and amazing daughter, we came to the honorable judge Eisenberg and from that moment my opinion about the courts and in particular about the judges, Judge Shelley Eisenberg is a woman, a mother, an amazing person with a lot of wisdom and life experience, she knew how to ask the right questions and knew how to get to the truth, and of course she only saw the best interest of our daughter, even when the judge was angry with me during the hearing, I realized that I did not act correctly and corrected my mistake, Judge Shelly Eisenberg is a judge with a lot of patience and composure, she asked questions and gave advice to everyone, both the women and us parents, I thank God that she is the judge who heard our case,
I wish Judge Shelly Eisenberg success in her new position and believe that she will lead the court to a better place.
