February 21st: 2025 Repro Shabbat

Repro Shabbat 2025 is coming!

Please join NCJW New York and synagogues across the country on February 21-22, 2025, to celebrate reproductive freedom as a Jewish value. While we celebrate passage of Prop 1 in New York, we must continue our work to protect and expand abortion access here, such as advocating for increased funding for providers, legislation to protect patients seeking reproductive care, and regulation of crisis pregnancy centers.

This is our fifth Repro Shabbat, which takes place annually when we read Parshat Mishpatim — the portion of the Torah containing verses used as the foundation of Judaism’s approach to reproductive health, rights, and justice. It is more important now than ever to loudly proclaim that Judaism supports abortion access and that abortion bans are against our religion.

You can observe Repro Shabbat with your synagogue community or in your home with your friends and family. NCJW has all the resources you’ll need to celebrate reproductive freedom as a Jewish value here, or reach out to me at ezimmerman@ncjwny.org if you are interested in bringing Repro Shabbat to your synagogue or organization. We can provide speakers and help to plan a meaningful event for your community.
