Reproductive health ensures that couples can lead satisfying sex
lives, and make informed decisions regarding family planning.
Decisions related to birth control methods are generally guided by
various factors, including health, convenience, cost, preference,
and sexual or other side effects. For most observant Jewish
couples, these decisions are also informed by Jewish law.
In the second episode of our two-part series on reproductive health
and halacha, Rabbi Scott Kahn and Talli Rosenbaum speak with
gynecologist Dr. Elissa Hellman, also known as “The Confident
Kallah” about the various methods available to couples, their
impact on sex, their impact on the laws of niddah, and their
halachic permissibility.
