The longing to grow a family touches deep feelings of hope, love and waiting. Rabbi Emanuel Shahar receives requests for prayer, blessings and spiritual support concerning fertility, respecting each person’s privacy and individual path.
There are times when sharing with others is difficult, and questions that remain between partners. A spiritual inquiry can make room for words, requests and prayer without requiring you to reveal what you wish to keep private. Begin with a short message and ask how to arrange a personal conversation with the Rabbi.
You can seek a blessing and discuss traditional forms of personal prayer with the Rabbi. Some want a regular place for prayer; others seek words for a period of uncertainty. Spiritual support accompanies the person and the couple; it does not determine why a difficulty exists or blame those experiencing it.
This service is spiritual only: it is not a medical diagnosis or treatment and does not guarantee pregnancy. Medical questions and decisions about tests or treatment should be discussed with qualified medical professionals. There is no need to send medical documents or intimate details in the initial inquiry.
