(38) Reproductive Health and Halacha Part 2: Birth Control Methods
About this episode
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.
