About Me
- Name: projgen
I'm an Orthodox Jew on the IVF road to, well, somewhere. Hopefully parenthood. We're dealing with age, male infertility, Orthodoxy, finances, in-laws and one neurotic dog.
::Note::
Please do not use me as a guideline for Jewish practice. I am always learning, and what is okay in my community, might not be okay in yours. I'm happy to answer your questions, bearing in mind you should always consult your Rav for the standards of your community.
Also, if you think you know who I am, please don't wave hi. My ability to speak freely is important to me, so I don't want to know that you know. Todah rabah.

you know what I love (and am a bit jealous of) - the jewish community really seems to support infertility. I am not sure I have heard of any other religion/community that is so supportive.
Jewish infertile are very blessed to have such community support. I think part of it is that having children is a commandment. For an observant Jew, to have children, to teach them Torah, to witness their major life moments is a holy purpose. To that end, we create organizations like ATIME. And owing to the unique and beautiful laws that surround procreation, we need specially trained rabbis to answer specific religious questions that relate to medically-assisted procreation.
In our communities we are blessed to have people who rally around others in their time of need. I guess Jewish infertiles are lucky that the Jewish community has recognized that dealing with infertility truly is a time of a need.
