Leah and Rachel’s pregnancy and childbirth experiences illustrate Judaism’s priority of having children. Several times this story mentions that God blesses the barren sisters with fertility. This biblical understanding informs our view that every baby, no matter the circumstance of conception, is a gift from God.

Sarah represents the highest level of Jewish womanhood. Dedicated and loyal to God first, then her husband and children, community and posterity, we can emulate her example with confidence.

Torah encourages us to act in a righteous manner according to Divine justice. Divine justice considers life the highest priority. We know this from Torah, a moral document calling for the sanctity of the human being as made in God’s image. Laws embodied in Torah protect and promote life, not death.

We must Return to our Righteous Roots, Starting with Protecting Unborn Life

Silence Cannot be Tolerated

Our Divine destiny of 100 million Jews seems as unreachable as an unreachable star. A history of genocide and a century of abortion practice have taken their toll.

Judaism, as given to us by God through Moses, regards human life so precious that Jews are obligated to break every Sabbath restriction in order to save a human life, including a human life residing in a woman's womb. This special exception, known as pikuach nefesh, logically supports the fact that Jewish law recognizes the unborn entity as a living human life that is sacred. We must safeguard it.

Because Jewish children in the womb are part of God’s creation, they qualify for our protection and care no matter the cost to our personal, professional, or family position. Serving, respecting and pleasing God by assuming this responsibility brings deeper satisfaction, peace and pleasure than any worldly gain.

As military casualties mount and war escalates in the Middle East, secularism still pervades Israeli society and government. I read of celebrations in Israel after the IDF takes out a bad guy, but I read of no calls for national repentance for child slaughter and other state sanctioned practices antithetical to Torah.

These organizations have built partnerships with many Jewish groups and institutions and now yield tremendous influence over many Jews, young and old. These are the new high priests who 'atone' for Jewish lapses in upside down, inside out, anti-Torah morality and ethics.
