Jewish Women’s Health articles are designed for health professionals as a community service of Nishmat: The Jeanie Schottenstein Center for Advanced Torah Study for Women. These articles elucidate issues in women’s health and Jewish law (halacha) to enable medical practitioners to provide optimal care to their patients who observe these rules.
Dr. Deena Zimmerman, MD, MPH, IBCLC, one of the first women certified as a Nishmat Yoetzet Halacha, has authored the Jewish Women’s Health articles unless otherwise noted. The founding rabbinic advisor to this site was the late Rabbi Yehuda Herzl Henkin. The current rabbinic advisor is Rabbi Kenneth Auman.
