A Ritual Guide for Abortion & Miscarriage Care

This guide provides Jewish ritual context to those who are accessing abortion or experiencing miscarriage. Included are basic scripts, resources, and suggestions.

Since each person and experience is unique, it’s possible that not all of these resources will feel appropriate to your situation. We encourage you to use what works for you and omit what doesn’t, without guilt, shame, or stigma. Please feel free to tweak, edit, or adapt this guide to best suit your needs. The Additional Resources section at the end contains additional practical supports.
