An annual Shabbat celebration honoring the Jewish value of reproductive freedom.

Repro Shabbat is an opportunity for our community to reclaim the narrative around religion and abortion and to say that abortion access is a Jewish value.

It takes place each year on Parashat Mishpatim, which contains the verses commonly referenced as the foundation of Judaism’s approach to reproductive health rights.

The afternoon will include lunch, speakers and discussions that will help us reacquaint ourselves with these Jewish values.

Hear an update on challenges to reproductive health access, including medication abortion and birth control as many push harder to block free choice.
