education, Advocacy & Resources for Support

Clergy are on the front lines of Jewish life. How you speak about family building and the care you provide to people facing family building obstacles sets the tone in Jewish community life. You are a doorway for people to come through when they need help and a microphone for advocacy and sensitivity.

Education and Advocacy

Spiritual Care for Infertility

Spiritual Care Training – Strengthen your sensitivity and pastoral care tools!

Clergy play a critical role representing Jewish tradition and providing spiritual care to community members who find themselves facing these issues. This seminar demystifies the experience of infertility, explores the emotional and spiritual issues surrounding it, and provides tools for rabbis to support those experiencing infertility and other family building challenges. 

Please email idit@hasidah.org or call 415.323.3226 if you would like to bring a Spiritual Care Clergy workshop to your community.

I am so grateful for the Hasidah Rabbinic Training! I’ve known many people who have struggled with infertility, and this training was an important opportunity to frame the issues of infertility in a Jewish context, raise awareness about infertility in the Jewish community, and learn best ways to support individuals through their difficult journeys.”
