OBJECTIVES: The evaluation of birth control issues among orthodox Jews who strictly follow the Halachah (the Jewish codes of conduct). METHODS: We examine traditional Jewish concepts and practices of reproduction, review various contraceptive methods, and define problems that may arise with their use in the Jewish orthodox society. We focus on the orthodox and ultra-orthodox (Haredi) elements of the Jewish community. RESULTS: The choices of orthodox religious women are limited and determined largely by considerations related to religious doctrine. CONCLUSIONS: Understanding the religious, social and cultural background of patients, religious orthodox women in particular, enables to appropriately counsel them. |
