Rabbi David Novak, JPLF Vice President, was our guest on our inaugural webinar from Jerusalem's Root and Branch Association hosted by Lowell Joseph Gallin. Rabbi Novak's solid defense of innocent life in the womb from an Halachic, biblical, and philosophic perspective covered all the bases. He reminded us that if someone insists that a baby in the womb is part of the mother, Jewish law prohibits killing that baby because of the prohibition against self harm in Judaism found in Leviticus 19:28, "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." 


R&B Monthly Seminar: "'Abortion' (Moloch Mass Murder Child Human Sacrifice Global Industry)" (Episode #1 -- Tuesday, June 28th, 2022/Sivan 29, 5782). Chair: Mrs. Cecily Routman. Guest: Rabbi David Novak.


The Root & Branch Association was founded by Lowell Joseph Gallin, a modern hero who promotes cooperation between the State of Israel and other nations, and between the Children of Israel and the Children of Noah (Gentiles), in the Land of Israel and abroad, to build a better world based on faith in the God of Israel and observance of His Covenants and laws, as commanded by the God of Israel in the Bible and Jewish Tradition.

Jewish Pro-Life Replies to Jewish Pro-Abortion Claims

Wondering how to respond to our misguided brothers and sisters calling for unlimited access to abortion based on false religious authority? We've created an informational card to help counter the tragic and dangerous rhetoric coming from those in our Jewish communities being used as pawns by abortion industry profiteers to perpetuate the holocaust of the Jews and the genocide of millions of babies. Jewish Pro-Life Replies to Jewish Pro-Abortion Claims gives you the right stuff!

Download our Info card

Every month we place our educational flyers in Jewish print and online media. Currently, our flyers appear in The Jewish Press, Jewish Voice, Five Town's Jewish Times, Jewish Link of New Jersey, and Heritage Florida Jewish News. We need volunteers to translate the English text into Hebrew so that we can place our ads in Israel media to implement our Pro-Life Israel Education Project. Please let us know if you can help us translate. Visit our library to download our book of flyers, then print them and share locally. Thank you!

Our Mission

The Jewish Pro-Life Foundation is a 501(c)(3) educational organization. 


Since 2006, we have been saving Jewish lives by promoting life saving solutions to unplanned pregnancy in the Jewish community. We provide education about the development, viability and sanctity of unborn life, as well as traditional Jewish law regarding abortion. We inspire Jews to welcome pre-born Jewish children into the inclusive movement of modern Jewish life and religion. We also provide adoption and pregnancy care referrals. We teach our community about the harmful effects of abortion, and provide support to Jewish women and men who suffer after abortion.  


The Jewish Pro-Life Foundation is not affiliated with any Jewish denomination, political organization, or the messianic movement.

Deuteronomy 30:19   

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, 

that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; 

therefore, choose life, that you may live, you and your seed."


Jeremiah 22:3

This is what Adonai says:“Do what is right and just; rescue the wronged from their oppressors; do nothing wrong or violent to the stranger, orphan or widow; don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
