Choose Life That Thou Mayest Live!
Jewish Pro-Life
We highlight the spiritual and earthly rewards that naturally result from following HaShem's guidance, and the existential misery that results from following the secular influences around us. Many blessings arise from saving innocent pre-born children from abortion, especially an inner peace and happiness knowing we protected that which is precious in the Creator's eyes. Conversely, regret, sorrow, despair, rage, bewilderment and fear occur when we separate ourselves from God, the source of love and light.

'To Save The Mother’s Life' Lie Still Destroying Jewish Children
Jewish Pro-Life
This episode examines when abortion was weaponized against Jews in ghettos in Nazi occupied territories. Under threat that the mothers would be killed unless the abortions took place, rabbis agreed to allow this violation of the Torah's prohibition of abortion to save the mothers' lives. The 'save the mother's life exception' to the prohibition of abortion in Judaism is commonly misused to this day to allow killing children in the womb, despite that abortion rarely poses a threat to a mother's life.

Speak Up For Unborn Innocents
Jewish Pro-Life
The movie, Sing A Little Louder, draws comparisons between the Holocaust in Nazi Germany with the abortion holocaust happening today. We ask why people stay silent, perpetuating a genocide in our civil society. Lack of awareness, lack of education, and peer pressure conspire to allow silence in the face of evil. Next, we share Power Point slide #63 Abortion Is The Ultimate ChIld Abuse, and slide #71 What Does Rabbi Buchwald Say? We finish the episode with Rabbi Nachman's Lag B'Omer meditation.

Judaism Prohibits Child Sacrifice
Jewish Pro-Life
We examine the sanctity of human life in Judaism derived from the Noahide Laws, and the prohibition against child sacrifice that was formulated in Genesis 9:6-7. We study Power Point slide #5 Sanctity of Human Life In Judaism, and slide #6 Abortion Is Prohibited In Judaism. We share our pro-life Torah Emor blog that includes a stern warning against taking innocent human life. We connect this biblical directive with the defiance of it in the modern practice of abortion, which always destroys innocent life.

Chemical Abortion is Dangerous, Deadly, and Perpetuates Genocide
Jewish Pro-Life
This episode examines the use of RU-486, otherwise known as chemical abortion branded as Early Options. Chemical abortion is used to kill human beings in the womb in the first trimester of life. It is promoted as safe and relatively painless compared to surgical abortion. In reality, chemical abortion is dangerous. frightening, and extremely painful. Abortion was weaponized against Jews in WWII. RU-486 was created from Zyklon-B gas used to kill Jews in the death camps. 40% of abortion is chemical abortion.

Gevalt! She Is Alive Before She's Born!
Jewish Pro-Life
In this episode, we examine the status of the unborn child, the gestational milestones, growth and development. We show the scientific proof of human life in the womb from conception, and debunk the primitive biblical opinions that abortion advocates still use to dehumanize the child in the womb. We show a picture of a 5-6 week baby and an 8 week baby, clearly showing that children develop rapidly in the womb, and finish with Rabbi Nachman's meditation on the 26th day of the Omer count.
info_outlineIn this episode, we examine how Torah is misused by Jewish abortion advocates to justify unlimited abortion rights. We begin by studying Power Point slide #17 Misuse Of Torah Language and slide #18 What Does Rabbi Nachman Say? One of the most widely corrupted verses is Exodus 21:22-25, a consideration of the fines imposed by an act of involuntary manslaughter. We generally see a corrupted interpretation of this text, one in which the unborn child is given less value than a born person. It is this difference in value that abortion advocates partly base their premise that Judaism endorses unlimited abortion. Rabbi Shlomo Nachman corrects this corrupted misinterpretation with a sound, halachic version with the correct translation from the original language which clearly shows that Judaism gives the unborn child fully human status and the same protections and respect as all other people.
We comment on the Yahrzeit of Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein, OB"M, whose remarks on abortion we capture on our rabbis page on our website. Next, we meditate on Rabbi Nachman's practice of the 20th day of the Omer count. This lovely pray emphasizes the need to grow our compassion as HaShem would have us, and we ask our listeners to show compassion for the defenseless innocent child in the womb by supporting its growth and safety.
We recognize this day in Jewish history, Israeli Independence Day. The State of Israel serves as a sanctuary for all Jews, a place where the right to life is protected; however, the unborn child in Israel is not included in this right to life or sanctuary. Israel has a very liberal tax payer funded abortion program. We pray that the citizens of Israel correct this misguided error and provide sanctuary to unborn children, too. Aired 4/29/20.
