Yoatzot Halacha are located in Jewish communities across the globe, where they serve as an address for women’s halachic questions about Taharat Hamishpacha and other topics related to women’s health and halacha. Some work as a community’s official Yoetzet Halacha, whereas others serve less formally as a resource for local women. Many Yoatzot are also educators, kallah teachers, and rebbetzins.
Yoatzot are Here for You!
