Ep 5Ep 77. Pro-Abortion NCJW v Life in Kentucky, Purim, After Abortion Healing Event
The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) has been attacking common sense life protections for unborn children and their moms in a pro-life bill in the Kentucky house. We share an opinion piece written by a NCJW state lobbyist published in the Courier Journal. The distorted lies and propaganda in this opinion piece were repeated in house debate, so we reached out to the sponsor of the bill and the director of Kentucky Right to Life to offer our educational materials to help them respond to Jewish pro-abortion attacks on life and state representatives in the house. During the episode, we share Bonnie Chernin's rebuttal published in Renew America (her submission request to the Courier Journal was declined.) We also share the letter that the JPLF created to submit to the Journal; however, after learning that the editor has a history of declining pro-life pieces and submissions by out of state authors, we sent the letter to Kentucky Right to Life to educate Assembly members and to submit to the Journal, if possible. We share our March Flyer sporting Mordecai's appeal to Queen Esther to show courage and stand up for Jewish lives against state sponsored genocide. We appeal to Jews to show courage saving all unborn lives from vicious attacks by abortion profiteers and misguided Jewish propagandists. The JPLF is hosting a healing opportunity on March 20, 2022 in our private zoom room.

Ep 72. Interview with Rabbi Yehuda Levin About Jewish Abortion in USA and Israel
On 12.16.21, Rabbi Yehuda Levin invited us to be his guest on Levin@11 to discuss the rising number of abortions in the Orthodox communities and the proposed legislation in Israel to make abortion more accessible. We talk about Jewish law and the prohibition against abortion, and the misinformation campaign that has convinced even religious Jews that abortion is acceptable. The JPLF offers much needed pro-life education through the distribution of our resources online and in print Jewish media. We are preparing to launch an Israel Pro-LIfe Educational project to inform Jews in Israel of abortion facts that the health ministry and abortion profiteers suppress.

Ep 71. Pitt Exposed: Now What? JPLF Remarks
On 10/12/21, the JPLF participated in a panel discussion about the University of Pittsburgh's involvement in human tissue and organ harvesting, distribution and experimentation. The panelists spoke of the horrors of fetal experimentation practices at the University of Pittsburgh. The panel was run by the Pennsylvania Family Council and included CMP Founder, David Daleiden; former Congressman Keith Rothfus, President of the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation, Cecily Routman; President of The National Catholic Bioethics Center, Joseph Meaney, PhD; former Pennsylvania Superior Court judge, Hon. Cheryl Allen; and PA State Rep. Tim Bonner.
Ep 70. The Day in Jewish History When Israel Legalized Abortion
In this episode, we note that on this day in Jewish history three of the ten martyrs who are commemorated in special Yom Kippur prayers were killed. We explore the idea of righteous martyrdom in the context of Jewish law, which usually forbids destroying human life and preserving it at all costs. However, Jewish law finds that a Jew must sacrifice his or her life rather than succumb to idolatry, sexual sin or murder. So, it seems that Jewish abortionists who commit murder in the form of abortion have a reckoning to face at some point. Events in Jewish history lists include the most impactful happenings in the chronicled development of Judaism. The absence of legal abortion legislation in Israel on these lists needs to be rectified because the Jewish lives lost to legal abortion in Israel has and continues to have a huge impact on the demographic, social, financial and spiritual evolution of Jewish culture and religion. We turn to a 1977 archived story in the NYT reporting on the legalization of abortion in Israel. It describes a society already deeply steeped in the death culture, which explains in part the current lack of interest in Israeli society and politics to address the issue. We look at our Power Point slide #7 What Does the Rambam Say?, and slide #44 What Does Rabbi Cowen Say? Aired June 17, 2020.

Ep 69. Jewish Abortion Advocates Endanger The Lives of Jews Everywhere
In this episode we focus on the challenges of educating Jewish abortion advocates. We share a dvar Torah on B'ha'a'lot'cha from Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald about educating Jews who have little understanding or knowledge about Judaism. Rabbi Buchwald explains that outreach efforts work best if teachers promote a process of slow, meaningful change and an appreciation of Judaism rather than a dramatic shift to orthodoxy. The educational efforts at the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation are an alternative Jewish educational resource that teaches respect for life in the womb, something that is missing from mainstream Jewish educational curriculum, which focuses on ritual observance rather than Torah principles that conflict with the majority of Jewish woke culture, from whom many Jewish institutions rely on for membership dues and donations. We turn to our Power Point, Judaism: The Original Pro-Life Religion to show slide #71 What Does Rabbi Buchwald Say? We examine this day in Jewish history and a blood libel massacre in a French town 800 years ago. Jewish abortion advocates perpetuate anti-Semitic sentiments because they are viewed as child murderers akin to the blood libel myth. Many of our established institutions and leaders remain ignorant of the dangerous consequences of their actions. We share a birth announcement from In Shifra's Arms and share our appreciation of Jewish leaders like Rabbi Buchwald and the rabbis on our board of directors who speak out in defense of gestational children, and for In Shifra's Arms, the only Jewish pregnancy care resource in the US.

Ep 68. Jewish Groups Excuse Jew Hatred Coming From Their Abortion Allies
This episode aired June 2020 and remains relevant today as the rioting in US cities continues. We examine the unholy alliance between Jewish groups who excuse anti-Semitism coming from their leftist allies because these same actors support legal unrestricted abortion, which many Jews use to terminate their own children. Jewish abortion happens to be the most common form of Jew hatred turned on oneself and helps accomplish the Final Solution to the Jewish problem that preoccupies the minds of radical leftists. We pray that Jewish organizations will stop demonizing Jews and Jewish organizations who speak out against anti-Semitism coming from the left, and please God, stop committing atrocities on Jewish unborn children. We share a story from the Jewish Telegraph Agency about the Zionist Organization of America(ZOA) taking the exceptional stand of criticizing the synagogue defacement in Los Angeles by BLM, and as a result being asked to leave a Jewish networking group. Then we turn to our Power Point to provide real evidence that Judaism is indeed the Original Pro-Life Religion, looking at slide #5 Sanctity of Human Life In Judaism. slide #8 What Does HaShem Say?, slide # 9 Prohibitions Against Child Sacrifice, slide #19 What Do The. Prophets Say?, and slide #97 Abortion Haunts Women. This last slide emphasizes that Judaism is a faith deeply grounded in mercy and forgiveness so that any Jew who advocates for and uses child killing can be redeemed should they realize their mistake and seek spiritual healing.

Ep 67. Jewish Leadership Condemns Racism But Not Abortion
This episode originally streamed on June 6, 2020, just 2 weeks after the George Floyd incident. The trial of the police officer involved in the incident is now just beginning. We share a June 4, 2020 article published by Daniel Greenfield, Shillman Fellow at the the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The article is about the contrast between Jewish leadership's vigorous public condemnation of the Floyd death and their deafening silence about the defacement of synagogues, institutions and schools by BLM rioters in Los Angeles that took place following Floyd's death. Mr Greenfield appreciates the Conference on Jewish Affairs' Rabbi Aryeh Spero's outspoken condemnation of the BLM attacks in Los Angeles. We share the article's insights and draw parallels about the silence from Jewish leadership on anti-Semitic violence in LA with their silence on the widespread use of abortion in Jewish culture. Next, we explain the underlying attitudes of pro-choice Jews by turning to our Power Point slide #69 Motivated Reasoning & Cognitive Dissonance, slide #16 The Medical Exception Expands, slide #34 Outdated & Erroneous Opinions on the Status of the Unborn Child, and slide #62 Personally I am Against it….

Ep 66. Abortion and Human Embryonic Research at Hadassah Medical Center
This episode explores the moral blindness that allows Hadassah Medical Center to benefit financially from pregnancy termination and human embryonic stem cell research. Despite chronic failures of human embryonic research to provide therapeutic applications, the Medical Center continues to accept research funding that destroys human embryos derived from their very busy IVF clinic. These activities at Hadassah Medical Center in Israel defy common sense in the light of the Jewish State's national security concerns and demographic challenges. Instead of killing Jewish babies, the infertile couples could adopt them! This happy solution wouldn't financially benefit the Medical Center, though, which underscores the greed and self interest that drives Hadassah's administrative decisions. We offer Rabbi Norman Lamm's wisdom in our Power Point slide #47 What Does Rabbi Lamm Say?, and then in slide #6 Abortion Is Prohibited In Judaism and slide #14 Exception to the Prohibition we remind our listeners that Judaism prohibits abortion except in very rare situations. We close the episode with a note about this week's Torah portion, Naso, that includes Number 5:27, which has been misinterpreted as permission for abortion in Judaism. We cite Chabad's explanation for the text which says nothing about the abortion issue.

Ep 65. God Selected Children To Be His Guarantor Of Holiness
Our episode opens with our blog post this week, Pro-Life Torah Shavuot. This annual celebration of the miracles at Mt Sinai over 3300 years ago offers the Jewish people and the world a yearly opportunity to recommit ourselves to the spiritual blueprint for living contained in the Ten Commandments and our Torah. Many life affirming messages come to us through God's revelations at Mt Sinai, among them the prohibition against murdering innocent human beings, and the insistence that we guarantee the transmission of these holy principles by inculcating our children with them. We study Power Point slide #107 The Obligation To Act, slide #108 What Does Eli Wiesel Say?, and slide #109 What Does Rabbi Sacks Say? We end the episode with an uplifting meditation for the 49th day of the Omer count. Streamed 5/28/20.

Ep 64. Jewish Abortion Advocates Unwittingly Promote Evil
We start this episode looking at a webinar hosted by The National Council of Jewish Women(NCJW) called, The Jewsh Case for Abortion Access: Discussion, Study and the Launch of the NCJW Abortion and Jewish Values Tool Kit. The Kit is a bundle of propaganda meant to convince Jews and Gentiles that abortion is legal and normative in Judaism. We share three chilling relevant quotes that underscore the ignorance and danger of the NCJW deception and lies. 1) Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire 2) It also gives us a very special secret pleasure to see how unaware the people are of what is really happening to them. Adolf Hitler 3) The more we do it to you the less you seem to believe we are doing it. Josef Mengele We look at the malevolent face of the Jewish pro-abortion majority on the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States protesting the June Medical Services Case, in which Planned Parenthood sued the state of Louisiana to stop a law requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at hospitals to follow up care for women injured during abortions. We study Power Point slide #16 The Medical Exception Expands, slide #15 The Medical Exception Today, slide #45 What Does Rabbi Tendler Say?, slide #46 What Does Rabbi Kamenetsky Say?, slide #47 What Does Rabbi Feinstein Say?, slide #63 Abortion is the Ultimate Child Abuse, slide #92 What Does Dr. Nathanson Say?, slide #97 Abortion Haunts Women, slide #98 Abortion Hurts Men, and slide #102 Rescue the Innocent.

Ep 62. Like Samuel, Each of Us Has A Destiny to Fulfill on Earth
Samuel dies this day in Jewish history, so we examine his miracle conception, unlikely birth, and extraordinary life. What about all the babies who never are born because they die in an abortion? We will never know the destiny and contribution to this world of millions and millions of people. Each one counts, and so we share an essay from the Meaningful Life Center on this week's Torah portion, Bamidbar in the book of Numbers where HaShem orders various censuses of his children because each one counts. We take a look at the abortion clock that records in real time the number of abortions taking place in the US and around the world. The overwhelming tragedy inferred from these huge and unrelenting numbers disturbs us, so we turn to Rabbi Nachman's meditation on the 43rd day of the Omer count. Next, we use Power Point slide $53, Jewish Abortion is Epidemic, and close the episode sharing a positive vision of renewed dependence on God and faith in His Providence as we carry our life affirming message to those who still live in doubt and fear.

Ep 61. Adoption Saves Lives!
The holiday of Shavuos is when Jews celebrate the anniversary of receiving the Torah at Mt. Sinai. To prepare for this holy day, we follow up on a suggestion from yesterday's chat to highlight the miracle of life, given by the Almighty Creator who gave us the holy book of life, the Torah. Also, from yesterday's show, a story we shared about the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) providing 1000 free abortions last year. If the Israeli government only offers killing Jewish children as the solution to unplanned pregnancy, we need to provide outreach for adoption and pregnancy care to these parents. Adoption is life saving, and needs to be offered immediately to vulnerable parents, whether they are IDF soldiers or financially distressed couples or homeless women. We share a heartwarming story about a woman dying of cancer whose twin sons, whom she had placed for adoption as infants, reunite with her at her bedside. The Jewish community has two long established adoption agencies, Embrace a Jewish Child and the Jewish Children's Adoption Network. Also, the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation maintains a list of couples who have reached out to us looking to adopt Jewish infants. We pray to reach abortion minded Jewish women and to save their children from a painful, unnecessary death - and save their Mothers from a broken heart. When one parent rejects adoption and insists on abortion, we can still encourage the other parent to intercede and offer adoption in the hope that it will be accepted. We quote Anne Frank who wrote "Where there is hope there is life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again." We study Power Point slide # 5 Sanctity of Human Life In Judaism, slide # 103 Why Save Jewish Lives?, and slide #105 Jewish Adoption. We close the show with Rabbi Nachman's meditation on the 42nd day of the Omer count. Recorded 5/21/20.

Ep 60. Panel Discussion with Four Jewish Pro-Life Women!
Bonnie Chernin, Liz Gabert, and Alice Lemos join me to talk about being Jewish and pro-life.

Ep 59. Interview With Rabbi Shlomo Nachman of BeitEmunah.org
Rabbi Shlomo Nachman sits down for an interview with us on December 1, 2020 to talk about his outspoken defense of life. Rabbi Nachman speaks freely about the abortion issue with us just as he does with his congregation in his online shul, BeitEmunah.org. Rabbi Nachman joined our board of directors in the fall of 2019 and has been an invaluable resource for rabbinical counseling for abortion minded Jewish women as well as Jewish women who suffer after abortion. The interview features Rabbi's insights regarding Judaism as a pro-life religion, the conflicts over the abortion issue between Jewish denominations, and the future of Jewish life and culture. Rabbi Nachman's shul, Beit Emunah.org, welcomes all Jews who seek an authentic, friendly Judaism that affirms life. You are welcome whatever your level of observance or identification with a particular Jewish denomination, or whether you are a Jewish pro-life advocate, former abortion advocate, or suffer from an abortion experience or involvement with an abortion decision. Beit Emunah also welcomes interested non-Jews. Contact Rabbi Nachman at [email protected].

Ep 58. Insane Abortion Policy - 1000 Abortions Annually in the Israel Defense Forces
In this episode, we delve into the tragedy of the loss of Jewish life in Israel due to abortion. We start by looking into this day in Jewish history in 1967, the start of the Six Day War between Israel and her Arab neighbors. The Israel Defense Forces(IDF) prevailed and became tasked with safeguarding Jewish life in Israel. We move onto a 2019 article about the abortion policy in the current IDF, which provides unlimited contraception and abortions to its service members, resulting in 1000 abortions per year. We focus on the insanity of this policy, by which Israel is killing more Jews than does its enemies. Next, we share about Efrat, one of several pregnancy care organizations in Israel, and for the need for a pro-life educational movement in Israel to introduce a life affirming view of gestational children. We look at the current abortion rates in Israel, studying Power Point slide # 52 Abortion In Israel, and slide # 53 Jewish Abortion Is Epidemic (updated due to rising abortion rates). We close the episode with Rabbi Nachman's meditation on the Omer count for today. Aired 5/20/20.

Ep 57. How the Jewish Pro-Abortion Majority Causes Conversion to Messianism
In this episode, we explore the spiritual and religious problems posed by the pro-abortion Jewish majority and why this contributes to Jews converting to messianic Judaism and Catholicism. We start by sharing an article from Jews for Judaism that examines the need for rabbis to increase outreach efforts to Jews vulnerable to persuasive conversion efforts by messianic converts. We share about the many pro-life Jews who convert out of Judaism into Christian religions because they cannot accept pro-abortion Judaism, as well as the Jews who have stayed because of our work. We look at slide #47 What Does Rabbi Feinstein Say?, and close the show with Rabbi Nachman's meditation on the 36th day of the Omer count. Aired 5/19/20.

Ep 56. Choose Life That Thou Mayest Live!
In this episode we highlight the spiritual and earthly rewards that naturally result from following HaShem's guidance, as well as the existential misery that naturally results from following the secular influences around us. Many blessings arise from saving innocent pre-born children from abortion, especially an inner peace and happiness knowing we protected that which is precious in the Creator's eyes. Conversely, regret, sorrow, despair, rage, bewilderment and fear occur when we separate ourselves from God, the source of love and light. We start by sharing our pro-life blog commentary on this week's Torah portion, Behar, and then study Power Point slide #8 What Does HaShem Say?, and slide #102 Rescue The Innocent.

Ep 54. 'To Save The Mother's Life' Lie Still Destroying Jewish Children
This episode sheds light on a very sinister time in history when abortion was weaponized against Jews in ghettos in Nazi occupied territories. Decree of 1942: Pregnancy in the ghetto is forbidden. Every pregnancy must be terminated. A pregnancy may be carried to full term only by women who are in the eighth or ninth month. Beginning in September, a total ban is placed on births. Women who are pregnant will be executed. In Lithuania on this day in Jewish history, Jewish doctors in the Kovno ghetto were forced to abide by the decree. They were told that if they terminated the pregnancies, the mothers' lives would be spared. Under duress and because of this deception, the rabbis agreed to allow this violation of the Torah's prohibition of abortion to save the mothers' lives. Tragically, the women were murdered not long afterward. The 'save the mother's life exception' to the prohibition of abortion in Judaism is commonly misused to this day to allow killing children in the womb. In our time, a mother's life is rarely in danger from a pregnancy, yet, the lie justifies the child's destruction. Occasionally, women die from abortion, and many suffer physical damage and spiritual death afterwards. We cite a Dvar Torah published by Bar-Ilan University in Israel that details the legalized human rights abuses against Jewish women and children during the war. Next, we visit the website of Hadassah Medical Center in Israel to read that they do 1st and 2nd trimester non-surgical abortions, revealing that the 'save the mother's life' lie remains a useful tool of death despite the well known fact that abortion very rarely poses a threat to a mother's life and the dangers of abortion to women far outweigh those of childbirth. We share Rabbi Nachman's inspiring mediation on the 35th day of the Omer count, and close the program studying Power Point slide #110 Judaism's Mystical Tradition, and slide #103 Why Save Jewish Lives?

Ep 53. Amazing Micro-Preemie Success Stories In Neonatal Intensive Care Units
In this episode, we focus on positive stories about successful outcomes for children born prematurely at 22 weeks gestation and even younger. We then share election results in Colorado that failed to pass a ban on late term abortion (8 states already allow abortion up to birth), and election results from Louisiana that passed a state constitution amendment that prohibits abortion. The last story we share is about a Covid-19 vaccine developed without using cells from aborted babies. We turn to our Power Point to discuss viability from a scientific and halachic perspective, studying slide # 20 Viability Is Now At 22 Weeks Gestation, and slide #30 What Does Rabbi Novak Say?

Ep 52. Judaism Teaches That Life Is The Holiest Thing In The World
In this episode, we share beautiful life affirming messages from two righteous rabbis who provide Torah based arguments against the utilitarian approach to medicine taken by the UK National Health Service. They are quoted in a story about NHS providers' cost cutting measures in the time of Covid, forcing parents to withdraw life saving medical care from their children, as well as increased pressure to withdraw life saving medical care from their elderly parents. Rabbi Moshe Avraham Halperin from the Science and Technology Torah Law Institute says, "Life is holy, the holiest thing in the world, because it is through life that we serve God. Therefore, no person can be the master over life; not his own and certainly not someone else's. Life belongs to God and He is the only one who decides over when it begins and when it ends." Rabbi Yosef Berger, rabbi of King David's Tomb on Mount Zion says, "The purpose of life is to praise God. Anything that lessens life, reduces God's praises and delays the Redemption. Sacrificing the children and elderly in the name of survival is a trait of the godless and doing so certainly delays the Redemption. Regrettably, the majority of Jews remains uninformed of the life affirming principles upon which Judaism is based, believing that abortion and euthanasia are human rights. We reference a Pew poll showing this in slide #88, 83% Of Jews Believe That Abortion Should Be Legal In All Or Most Cases, and challenge this majority to look beyond secular ideology to their God given conscience in slide #66 The Questions We Must Ask Ourselves.

Ep 51. Speak Up For Unborn Innocents
We begin this episode describing the trailer for the movie, Sing A Little Louder. The movie draws comparisons between the Holocaust in Nazi Germany with the abortion holocaust happening today. We ask why people stay silent, perpetuating a genocide in our civil society. Lack of awareness, lack of education, and peer pressure conspire to allow silence in the face of evil.

Ep 50. Judaism Prohibits Child Sacrifice
In this episode, we examine the sanctity of human life in Judaism derived from the Noahide Laws, and the prohibition against child sacrifice that was formulated in Genesis 9:6-7. We begin by studying Power Point slide #5 Sanctity of Human Life In Judaism, slide #6 Abortion Is Prohibited In Judaism, and slide #9 Prohibitions Against Child Sacrifice. Next, we share our pro-life Torah Emor blog because the portion Emor includes a stern warning against taking innocent human life. We connect this biblical directive with the defiance of it in the modern practice of abortion, which always destroys innocent life.

Ep 49. Healing After Abortion With Tikvat Rachel
Abortion is increasing during the coronavirus quarantine which means that many more mothers, fathers, and family members are suffering the negative emotional, relational and spiritual consequences that arise after termination. Women may also experience physical trauma from chemical or surgical abortion. In this episode, we describe our healing program, Tikvat Rachel - Rachel's Hope For All Her Children, Both Born And Unborn. We study Power Point slide #95 Abortion Hurts Women, slide # 96 A Lack Of Jewish Help, slide# 97 Abortion Haunts Women, slide #98 Abortion Hurts Men, slide #99 Tikvat Rachel- Rachel's Hope For All Her Children, Both Born And Unborn, and slide # 100 Help Is A Call Away.

Ep 48. Chemical Abortion is Dangerous, Deadly, and Perpetuates Genocide
This episode examines the use of RU-486, otherwise known as chemical abortion branded as Early Options. Chemical abortion is used to kill human beings in the womb in the first trimester of life. It is promoted as safe and relatively painless compared to surgical abortion. In reality, chemical abortion is dangerous. frightening, and extremely painful. The use of RU-486 is now used for 40% of all abortions due to the lifting of FDA safety guidelines due to telemedicine distribution of the drug during Covid restrictions, and the fact that chemical abortion lowers clinic overhead costs. We start the episode studying our Power Point slide #44 What Does Rabbi Cowen Say?, and slide #73 Historical Relevance, which looks at weaponized abortion against Jews in WWII and the German origins of RU-486. Then we share a story about the modern day eugenics movement pushed by population control ideologue Bill Gates. Because chemical abortion is so dangerous, physicians have requested that the FDA reestablish safety guidelines and shut down websites that sell directly to consumers. We close the episode by sharing Rabbi Nachman's meditation on the 27th day of the Omer count. Aired 5/6/20.

Ep 47. Here's Why Jews Can Choose Life on Election Day
This episode explores the reasons why a majority of American Jews indicate that they will vote for the Democrat candidate for POTUS. We believe that the abortion issue significantly influences the voting choices of these Jews. We start with The United West video called THIS JEW IS VOTING for DONALD J. TRUMP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLVI2izUuzE In this video, Damon Rosen asks how can so many American Jews vote AGAINST the most pro-Israel POTUS in American history? How can they vote for a party whose platform violates so many tenets of their religion? He's highly disturbed at the over 75% number of Jewish Biden supporters, and explains that they will vote for the Democrat because they are disinterested in the State of Israel and Judaism. We suggest that the abortion issue plays a major role in this situation. A 2014 Pew poll found that 83% of American Jews believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. The Democrat party platform supports unlimited abortion access. The Republican Platform stands up for the rights of the unborn. For this Jewish majority, the right to a tax payer funded abortion from conception past delivery is far more important than the right of Israel to exist or the right of Jews to practice Judaism safely and freely. We offer talking points based in science, fact, and Jewish law and ethics that can be utilized to change people's hearts and minds. We study Power Point slide #35 A Jew Must Violate The Sabbath Rest To Save The Life Of An Unborn Child, #37 Gestational Milestones, #55 Justice For All, #61 The Moral Imperative - Torture, #73 Historical Relevance, #84 Huge Profits From Late Term Abortion, #95 Abortion Hurts Women, #98 Abortion Hurts Men, #99 Tikvat Rachel - After Abortion Healing For Jewish Men & Women, #104 Jewish Pregnancy Care, and #105 Jewish Adoption.

Ep 46. Gevalt! She Is Alive Before She's Born!
In this episode, we examine the status of the unborn child, the gestational milestones, growth and development. We show the scientific proof of human life in the womb from conception, and debunk the primitive biblical opinions that abortion advocates still use to dehumanize the child in the womb. To educate our audience, we study Power Point slide #34 Outdated & Erroneous Opinions On The Status Of The Unborn Child, and slide #38 The Hand of Hope. We follow up with showing a picture of a gestational 5-6 week baby and a gestational 8 week baby. These clearly show that children develop rapidly in the womb. Next, we show a picture of our bumper sticker that addresses the infamous lie that unborn children aren't alive until they are born. The sticker says, Gevalt! She IS Alive Before She's Born!

Ep 45. Moral Concerns About Aborted Human Fetal Tissue Used in Covid Vaccine Research
This episode examines the moral concerns about Covid vaccine research using aborted human fetal tissue lines, as well as the general use of baby body parts in medical research. We begin this study by looking at Power Point slide # 48 Jewish Ethics vs Abortion Industry, slide # 76 Use of Language Medical Research, and slide #36 Status of The Unborn. Next, we look at an article written by Judie Brown, the founder of the American Life League, in which she explains her moral concerns and displays the text of a letter to the President and Congress to cease tax payer funding to universities and companies that use fetal tissue in vaccine research. We look at a second story from LifeSiteNews that uncovers Josef Mengele's wicked work as a medical researcher in Nazi Germany. Mengele conducted horrible experiments on Jews, especially Jewish women, unborn children, and babies. We seek spiritual consolation from this content with Rabbi Nachman's beautiful meditation for the 25th day of the Omer count. Aired 5/4/20.

Ep 43. Different Perspectives On The Passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
This episode examines different perspectives on the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We share a story authored by a pro-life advocate who uncovers her support of race based unlimited access to abortion, and her indifference towards the millions of unprotected children who died a violent death from abortion, including partial birth abortion, as well as her legal opinions promoting pedophilia. This view is diametrically opposite that of the Jewish community's adulation of the late justice as viewed in a Jerusalem Post article declaring her to be a righteous champion of civil and women's rights, and a figure commensurate with saints and Jewish matriarchs. Next, we study our power point slides to underscore the Jewish principles that Justice Ginsburg ignored, even though she credited her Jewish heritage for her approach to jurisprudence. Power Point slide #5 Sanctity of Human Life in Judaism, slide #60 Jewish Champion of 'Inconvenient Life', slide #61 The Moral Imperative - Torture, and slide #55 Justice For All. We close the episode with a reminder that Heavenly forgiveness for sin and error is particularly powerful during the 10 Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, when the Almighty welcomes our sincere attempts to renounce secular attachments and reconnect with Him.

Ep 42. Interview With A Reform Jewish Pro-Life Advocate
Mr. Ross Schriftman joins us to share his pro-life journey. As a young Jewish man raised in a loving Reform Jewish home, Ross embraced a life affirming view after learning the Talmudic expression, Whoever saves a single life, it is as if you saved the whole world. Ross was very active in the Reform movement leadership, and active in Democrat party politics. While running for PA state office in 1974, though personally against abortion, his supporters convinced him to adopt a pro-choice platform. Three years ago, Ross began exploring the abortion issue. He is now a pro-life advocate. You'll enjoy and appreciate his personal perspective and Jewish pro-life experience. Aired 5/1/20. For Info, Help & Healing please visit jewishprolifefoundation.org

Ep 40. Misuse of Torah Language to Justify Abortion Exodus 21:22-25
In this episode, we examine how Torah is misused by Jewish abortion advocates to justify unlimited abortion rights. We begin by studying Power Point slide #17 Misuse Of Torah Language and slide #18 What Does Rabbi Nachman Say? One of the most widely corrupted verses is Exodus 21:22-25, a consideration of the fines imposed by an act of involuntary manslaughter. We generally see a corrupted interpretation of this text, one in which the unborn child is given less value than a born person. It is this difference in value that abortion advocates partly base their premise that Judaism endorses unlimited abortion. Rabbi Shlomo Nachman corrects this corrupted misinterpretation with a sound, halachic version with the correct translation from the original language which clearly shows that Judaism gives the unborn child fully human status and the same protections and respect as all other people. We comment on the Yahrzeit of Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein, OB"M, whose remarks on abortion we capture on our rabbis page on our website. Next, we meditate on Rabbi Nachman's practice of the 20th day of the Omer count. This lovely pray emphasizes the need to grow our compassion as HaShem would have us, and we ask our listeners to show compassion for the defenseless innocent child in the womb by supporting its growth and safety. We recognize this day in Jewish history, Israeli Independence Day. The State of Israel serves as a sanctuary for all Jews, a place where the right to life is protected; however, the unborn child in Israel is not included in this right to life or sanctuary. Israel has a very liberal tax payer funded abortion program. We pray that the citizens of Israel correct this misguided error and provide sanctuary to unborn children, too. Aired 4/29/20.

Ep 39. The Tragedy That A Rare And Narrow Exception To Prohibiting Abortion In Judaism Expands Into Unlimited Abortion On Demand
In this episode, we look at the original prohibition of abortion in Judaism and then we look at the original narrow exception to the prohibition. From biblical times until today, the 'save the life of the mother' exception has been expanded through corrupted Judaism to allow unlimited abortion for a wide range of non life threatening conditions. We study Power Point slide # 6 Abortion Is Prohibited In Judaism, slide #14 Exception To The ProhibitIon, slide #15 The Medical Exception Today, slide #16 The Medical Exception Expands, slide #7 What Does The Rambam Say?, and slide #26 What Does Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik Say?

Ep 38. Judaism Prohibits Abortion For Children Conceived In Rape & Incest. Adoption Is The Righteous Solution
This episode tackles the controversial topic of abortion for the unfortunate circumstances of conception for rape and incest, what is called the 1% of abortion cases. We've heard many times even religious Jews credibly justify abortion in these circumstances. Because abortion for the 1% is almost universally accepted today among many people, including Jews, we look to the Torah to correct this self serving corruption of traditional Judaism. We start by studying Power Point slides #22 Circumstances of Conception, and slide # 23 The 1%. Next, we mention a heartwarming and inspiring interview by LiveAction about a woman who recounts her life as a woman conceived in rape and her mother who chose life. We include a second story from the Justice Foundation about safe haven laws that allow unwanted newborns to be dropped off at police and fire stations and hospitals, providing a life saving alternative to unplanned pregnancy.

Ep 37. We Can Emulate Jews Who Fought Against The Abortion Industry
In this episode, we look back to the Jewish leaders who opposed legalizing abortion and fought to preserve life against the growing anti-life political movement. When the pro-life movement was forming in the 1970s, Jewish leaders in New York and Chicago spoke out publicly for life. As late as 1980, Jews were still leading the right to life cause. They didn't stay silent, as so many of us do now. We can emulate these righteous Jews by speaking out for life in our circles of influence. We study Power Point slide # 91 Jews Against The Abortion Industry, and slide #93 What Does Atty Rosenblum Say? Foundational to our pro-life cause and opposition to the abortion industry can be found in Exodus 23:7, "Distance yourself from a false matter and do not kill a truly innocent person." The abortion industry is built on lies and the destruction of innocent life for profit and eugenics purposes. Jews who fall prey to death culture propaganda and who realize the gravity and tragedy of their mistake can be redeemed by our forgiving tradition of Teshuvah. We close with the meditation on the Omer count for the 17th day, a prayer to solve problems with a God centered, faithful approach that supports life for every human person. Aired 4/26/20.

Ep 36. The Strength And Conviction To Include The Child And Father In The Solution To Unplanned Pregnancy. Pro-Life Torah Metzora
In this episode, we explore the Torah portion, Metzora, by sharing our Pro-Life Torah Blog. Our tradition explains that a person suffering from skin lesions may actually have a spiritual sickness caused by engaging in slander, gossip, and arrogant self-will. Our sages explain that their suffering comes from an imbalance between loving kindness and disciplined strength. The patient recovers through a treatment of intense self-examination and sincere atonement for harms done. We associate this imbalance and remedy with the strength of character and conviction it takes to include the child and father in a whole life solution to unplanned pregnancy. Next, we share a heartwarming story of a couple who chose chemical abortion then changed their mind. Their child was saved through abortion pill reversal, a remedy that is saving many children. We follow this story with the Omer Count for day 15, which encourages us to view the world through the eyes of faith in God's love and providence, an approach that facilitates choosing life over death.

Ep 35. Planned Parenthood Still Killing Minorities In The Name Of Healthcare And Civil Rights. Teshuvah In The Month of Elul
In this episode, we share an opinion piece written by Tom Shakely of Americans United For Life. The piece was published in Newsweek on July, 7 2020. Mr. Shakely reports on the recent decision of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York to erase the name of its founder, Margaret Sanger, from their building. He informs us that Ms. Sanger's associate, Alan Guttmacher, pushed for abortion as the most efficient means of eliminating minorities. While Planned Parenthood cancels Margaret Sanger, it continues to profit by violating the basic human right to life. We share Rabbi Shlomo Nachman's essay on The Month fo Elul as a way to reach out to any listeners who may feel troubled by their support for the racist and eugenics history of the abortion provider, and offer Teshuvah as a way to escape the death culture mentality.

Ultrasound technology proves without a doubt that a living child resides in the womb. We start this episode with a story from Indiana about legal validation for requiring abortion minded women to view an ultrasound of their unborn child before consenting to termination. We connect the necessity for protecting the unborn child's right to life to the emancipation of slaves in America and to the recognition of the human right to life as described in the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the Holocaust.

We met Jaco in June 2019 when we tabled at the Young Jewish Leadership Summit in Washington DC. Jaco explains that sex traffickers financially support and keep Planned Parenthood in business because every one of the millions of trafficked woman has an average of two abortions. Planned Parenthood conspires with traffickers to hide this abuse of girls and avoid criminal prosecution. Many Jews support Planned Parenthood through financial contributions and volunteer work. We choose to believe that these Jews are uninformed of the criminal practices of the abortion corporation, and attempt to educate them. We study Power Point slide #86 Planned Parenthood: A Favorite Charity. We close with a meditation on the Omer count for day 12. Aired 4/21/20.

Ep 32. The Biblical Foundations Of Respect for Life In The Womb. Jewish Law Informed By Scientific Advancement. Approaching Unplanned Pregnancy With Complete Faith In God
We begin this episode by to laying a biblical foundation of respect for life in the womb. We study our Power Point slide # 10 What Do The Prophets Say?, and slide #11 What Do The Scriptures Say?, We encourage Jews today to embrace these prophetic and wise teachings. Jewish abortion advocates continue to depend on outdated rabbinical opinions that undervalue life in the womb, rather than follow Jewish legal precedent for updating rabbinical opinion with scientific discovery that proves the life and humanity of each unborn child. We encourage Jews to approach unplanned pregnancy with faith in God's providence rather than with fear and uncertainty, and close with a meditation on the Omer count day 11. Aired 4/20/20.

Ep 31. Dr Daniel Grossman, The Abortion Pill, And The Final Solution
This episode uncovers the push by abortion industry promoters to deregulate the distribution of dangerous chemical abortion drugs. (RU-486), calling for over-the-counter availability with no prerequisite medical examination or doctor's visit. The chief promoter is Dr. Daniel Grossman, who has been instrumental in pushing for unlimited access to chemical abortion for years. We open with a look at a news story about Dr. Grossman, who describes the unsupervised, extremely painful and seriously dangerous miscarriage at home as 'A More Private Experience'. We show our video, The Evil Origins of the Chemical Abortion Pill RU-486, and ask our listening audience to contact Dr. Grossman to inform him of the moral and historical reasons to change his viewpoint. We study Power Point slide #36 Status Of The Unborn, slide #73, What Does Dr. Nathanson Say?, and slide #103 Why Save Jewish Lives. For Jewish abortion advocates who may be moved to question their allegiance to abortion advocacy, the current month of Elul offers a special opportunity to receive God's forgiveness and to do Teshuvah by supporting life affirming pregnancy care organizations and sharing our educational resources with family and friends.

Ep 30. Planned Parenthood Violates Partial Birth Abortion Ban To Profit From Baby Parts Sales. Margaret Sanger - Eugenicist & Anti-Semite
This episode delves into Planned Parenthood's evil, deceptive, gruesome practice of doing illegal partial birth abortions to obtain baby body parts and organs to sell for profit. Evidence of this criminal behavior came to light through undercover videos recorded by the Center fo Medical Progress, and recently confirmed from under oath depositions of these industry leaders. We impress upon our listeners that Judaism's moral and ethical foundations prohibit all of these activities, yet, many Jews remain ignorant of the criminal and immoral practices at Planned Parenthood and continue to support the abortion provider. We study our Power Point slide #35 A Jew Must Violate The Sabbath Rest To Save The Life Of An Unborn Child, #61 The Moral Imperative - Torture, slide #79 Margaret Sanger: Eugenicist & Anti-Semite, slide #82 Margaret Sanger: No Friend Of The Jew. After this study of the founder of Planned Parenthood, the realities of Planned Parenthood, and the life affirming principles in Judaism, we describe the life changing opportunities during the month of Elul, when HaShem forgives our mistakes and welcomes us back into relationship with Him. We can amend our past attitudes and actions through Teshuvah, actions that respect God and protect human life, such as donating time and money to pregnancy care centers, and downloading our information to share with family and friends.

Ep 29. The Need For Jews To Provide Life Affirming Outreach To Jewish Mothers, Fathers And Their Unborn Children
Our Christian friends have a long tradition of providing church based practical and moral support to mothers, fathers, and their unborn children. Torah commands us to provide help to the widow and orphan. Following this principle, we need to establish similar programs in our synagogues and in our communities that offer practical and moral support to Jewish mothers, fathers and their unborn children. We look at two articles that offer examples of this type of outreach. The first contends that when Roe v Wade is overturned, pro-life advocates will need to ramp up outreach efforts, so it is vitally. important to have these systems in place now. The second article highlights Good Council Homes, a church based haven for homeless pregnant women in NYC. Good Council Homes accommodates Jewish clients with Jewish supportive services. We follow these news stories with the Omer Count for day 14, with emphasis on showing the unborn child compassion and loving kindness by supporting the life of that child. We close the episode by studying Power Point slide #103 Why Save Jewish Lives. Aired 4/23/20.

Ep 28. The Jewish Pro-Life Foundation Educates Jews About The Reality Of Abortion. The Connection Between Jewish Genocide And Abortion Genocide
Why do so many Jews support and practice unrestricted abortion despite our tragic history as a people targeted for genocide? In this episode we provide one of many answers which is that most Jews remain wholly ignorant of the reality of abortion - the gruesome nature of the procedures as well as the overwhelming numbers of people who have been killed by abortion. At the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation we provide much needed education and information to Jews so they can recognize the immense human rights abuse of abortion and reject it. In 1945 on this day in history, the death camp, Buchenwald, was liberated by the allied forces. We use this event to underscore our experience as a population legally targeted for genocide based on race and ethnicity. We take a look at the abortion clock, which provides a running total of abortions in real time. These staggering losses of human life definitely qualify as genocide, and demand an acknowledgement that humans in the womb are a targeted demographic with whom we must empathize and protect. We study Power Point slide # 108 What Does Elie Wiesel Say?, and close the episode with the 13th day of the Omer count. Aired 4/22/20.
