ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Fertility - or its opposite - is not a subject considered by most people...until they encounter it. Today, nearly one in seven children is born through various interventions, and Jewish couples worldwide need guidance, support, and material assistance navigating the labyrinth of options and emotions involved in this process. Puah is a remarkable institution, based in Israel but with partnerships worldwide, offers the full gamut of resources, plus broader support on topics related to Jewish intimacy. Its English Speaking Section Director is Rabbi Gideon Weitzman, and he joins us on this week's episode to share his own personal background and his efforts within this life-giving organization.
