Thank you to everyone who participated in Repro Shabbat in 2024.

Reproductive freedom is a Jewish value, and we honored it!

Join the Movement in 2025!

Sign up to bring a Repro Shabbat event to your community or gathering on February 21-22, 2025. We will provide you with resources to help make your Shabbat a more meaningful experience.

Parshat Mishpatim

Repro Shabbat is an annual Shabbat celebration that honors the Jewish value of reproductive freedom. It takes place annually on Parshat Mishpatim, the reading of which contains the verses commonly referenced as the foundation of Judaism’s approach to reproductive health, rights, and justice. Individuals and communities across the world gather to celebrate Repro Shabbat and the Jewish traditions it honors. Participation can take many forms.

Judaism offers a critical perspective on reproductive freedom that is too often unheard in our public discourse — one needed for both our moral imagination and understanding of our First Amendment rights.

Repro Shabbat is a time for communities and individuals to connect, educate, and activate towards a more whole future for everyone.

Why Sign Up?

When you sign up, you are joining a movement to explore issues of reproductive freedom and abortion access from a Jewish perspective. You will gain access to curated resources — like a conversation guide, a study guide, a Shabbat Spotify playlist, recipes, and more. We’ll even email you (not too much, we promise) additional resources and planning tips.
