À propos de ce contenu audio
In 1942, in Kaunas, Lithuania, the occupying German forces decreed that any pregnant Jewish woman would be summarily executed. On August 26, 1942, a Jewish woman realized she was pregnant and approached her rabbi, Ephraim Oshry, seeking advice. He determined that an abortion was necessary to save her life. The situation was something no woman or rabbi should have to face. But the scenario was real, and Rabbi Ephraim Oshry ruled based on Jewish law.
But what exactly does it relate to us?
Does this extreme example provide us with guidelines today?
Is there a definitive Jewish view on this challenging topic?
Rabbi Ephraim Oshry’s decision reveals certain elements characteristic of classical Jewish perspectives on abortion. How do these views differ from contemporary Jewish movements in modern America?
This book provides a concise review of the critical issues regarding abortion from traditional Jewish sources.
