November Is National Adoption Month!

Jewish Pro-Life Foundation Newsletter 20 November 2020 - 4 Kislev 5781

Hello & Shabbat Shalom.

Adoption saves lives, and since this is National Adoption Month we are happy to explore it with you.

There are no national statistics on how many people are waiting to adopt, but experts estimate it is somewhere between one and two million couples. Every year there are about 1.3 million abortions. Only 4% of women with unwanted pregnancies place their children through adoption. https://adoptionnetwork.com/adoption-statistics

Abortion clinic counselors discourage confused and frightened clients from seeking adoption for their baby because clinics lose money with every adoption choice. Family members and friends often discourage adoption, pressuring vulnerable couples to seek abortion to save reputation and career. Because the majority of Jews believes that abortion provides the most practical solution, we rarely explore the adoption option. destroying our most precious resource, putting Jewish mothers in harms way, denying fathers the mitzvah of parenthood, and reducing family vitality. In many Jewish homes and communities, a cold, heartless, utilitarian outlook now characterizes a once warm and compassionate culture of life.

Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. Psalm 68:5

Judaism emphasizes the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death, making it incumbent upon Jews to find ways to save lives when dealing with unplanned and unwanted pregnancy. Adoption, marriage, and single parenthood are much better choices for Jews than the intentional killing of an innocent life to avoid embarrassment, inconvenience, or hardship. When pregnancy results from a mistake in judgement or action, killing innocent life is not the answer. HaShem blesses all involved when we provide safe haven and sanctuary for our unborn children and their parents.

The Jewish Pro-Life Foundation has many loving Jewish couples waiting to meet vulnerable Jewish parents and their unborn children at risk for abortion. Please check out our website for more information and share! https://jewishprolifefoundation.org/pregnant%3F

WOW Mom, I Wanna Live!!!!! 🚼 Malchut - Shalom Aleichem (Part 2)

Dave and Atara Crown offer this Video is a Continuation of their Video Series about The 10 Sefirot And Focuses On Trying to Attract More Attention To Helping Pregnant Women who may be in Financial and or Emotional Distress To Help Them Avoid Terminating Their Pregnancy.

They are Continuing in this Video with Part 2 of a Discussion about the Sefirah of Malchut or 'Kingdom' and Specifically how this Sefirah Mirrors the Kingdom of Heaven in this World. Here's how they describe it:

One Kabbalistic Song which helps to connect our Earthly Kingdom of Malchut with the Sabbath-Like Kingdom of Keter in Heaven is the Hymn 'Shalom Aleichem' which is sung just before The Blessing of Kiddush over the Wine on Friday Night following the return Home Friday night from the Synagogue.

This Kabbalistic Hymn was based on a story in the Talmud about Two Angels who are tasked to visit each home when a member of their Household returns from Synagogue on Friday night. We Welcome these Two Angels into our Home, ask them for a Blessing and then send them on their way so they can visit and Bless the next home to which they have been assigned.
