Rabbis Defending Life

Our Mission

image594

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.
