TIKVAT RACHEL HEALING PROGRAM
The Jewish Life Foundation respects and encourages the healing journey of any Jew who has experienced grief, guilt, anger, disappointment, and regret after an abortion experience: mother, father, sibling, grandparent, religious or secular. If your abortion experience is as an abortion clinic worker, we would be happy to help you too.
The spiritual wounds are deep for those who have chosen to end a precious life or help end a precious life. We encourage you to find relief and healing. Please draw from this healing experience. Confidentiality and privacy are guaranteed.
This program offers a healing path for Jews seeking a confidential, safe, accepting, and compassionate Jewish program to address the deep personal issues that arise after an abortion. The program is based on the Jewish concept of repentance and the promise of healing in Judaism. Women who have had an induced abortion often find themselves in emotional difficulties at one point or another.
Sometimes it can take months or even years for the difficulty to arise. A trigger such as the arrival of a baby or the expected due date can strike suddenly and cause feelings of grief, depression, anxiety, and regret. Most women who have chosen to have an induced abortion keep it a secret and do not share the pain of loss with anyone due to feelings of guilt or shame, while loneliness only increases the feelings of pain and trauma.
Men also suffer if they were unable or unwilling to protect their unborn baby. We also offer healing assistance for fathers.
Our program is available as a one-day group workshop, as an individual experience in safe Zoom meetings. No video. No recording. No charge. Please contact us and we will arrange a meeting with you at your request. For safety and security reasons, we are unable to offer an open session.
At the meeting we share screens and read Rachel Hope’s materials. These include the booklet overview and the workbook. Sharing is voluntary. Just listening is okay. Our program is response-based. It works. There is no judgment here. Only love and understanding. If you would prefer to explore the healing program on your own, please download the materials below.
TIKVAT RACHEL TESTIMONIES
“The workshop I just attended will be only the first for me. I plan on attending all upcoming workshops. These last 6 years I have been becoming more religious and connected to HaShem. When this workshop came up I knew that it was time for me to unlock the door of my Abortion that I had buried deep. When I had my Abortion 40 years ago I cried hysterically as the anesthesia put me under. And I woke up crying hysterically. My soul knew it was wrong and I did it anyway for whatever misguided reasons I gave for going through with it. And now, on a more righteous, peaceful and healthier path that I am currently on, I knew I had to attend this workshop. If I wanted to move forward on my path I had to unlock the door of this 40 year old event and face what I had done, mourn and repent. This workshop helped me to do so. Now my baby has a name, because he was a baby to-be. My beautiful baby is in heaven. Thank you ladies, Barbara, Cecily, and the other ladies who attended like Liz.” - Ruth G.
"I loved revisiting the program, in fact I got more out of it this time I felt than before. I would love to participate in another and most definitely be a support to another woman who shares our experience. This is true healing Barbara!" - Liz R.
"When I joined their zoom for the healing program, I felt forgiven and transformed in a 360 degrees turn. I realized that I am not the only one who had an abortion and regretted it ever since. I managed to have a beautiful daughter six years later after the abortion. She’s now 12. I also had a son who was born with Canavan Disease and only lived for 18 months on Earth. These life experiences as a mother taught me that once I regretted about the abortion at 22, God told me that ”I will be forgiven, I love you, and you will be a mother again.” By joining in the healing program with Tikvat Rachel, I learned more about myself as a person and a mother." - Sophie S.G.
