The Women's Health and Halacha Website

Welcome to the Nishmat Women's Health and Halacha website.

Women's Health and Halacha was created by the Nishmat's Yoatzot Halacha under the supervision of Nishmat's rabbinic staff. The site is designed to provide straightforward, user-friendly, halachic and medical information to couples observing taharat hamishpacha, the Jewish laws of mikveh and niddah. Women's Health and Halacha includes:

  • Over 100 articles on taharat hamispacha, women's health, and the interface between them.
  • Thousands of real questions and answers, posted anonymously.
  • Ask the Yoetzet: an online service that allows you to submit your own questions to a yoetzet halacha.

You can navigate through the site by choosing a category that interests you, or by using our search feature to find exactly what you're looking for. By clicking on the icons below, you will have access to additional resources provided by Nishmat and Yoatzot Halacha.

As you may have noticed, we are currently undergoing a redesign. Please be patient as we complete the work necessary to get our new site running smoothly.
