NCJW is a 132 year old Jewish feminist civil rights organization working for the full rights of women, children, and families in the United States and Israel.
Around Valentine's Day we hear lots of talk about love, but we can't properly love others before we love ourselves.

This Shabbat we hope you take inspiration from the queen herself, Whitney Houston.

Shabbat Shalom and happy Repro Shabbat 💗

Ever wondered what Judaism says about abortion? We’ve got you covered. 💜

We observe Repro Shabbat on Parshat Mishpatim — the Torah portion that shapes Judaism’s teachings on reproductive health, rights, & justice.

And don't forget: abortion access is a Jewish necessity 👏 👏 👏

Oh hey, we know them! 👀

Thank you to @jewishinsider.com for lifting up our Repro Shabbat challah delivery on Capitol Hill! It was great talking with so many legislators — including @schumer.senate.gov — about how reproductive freedom is a Jewish value! ✡️

I’ve been known to bake a uterus pie in my time, so when I saw this contest from @ncjw.bsky.social and @lilithmagazine.bsky.social to bake a uterus challah to champion women’s reproductive rights, I just knew I had to join in. Happy #ReproShabbat lovelies!
