The Abortion Dilemma

Set against the backdrop of 1942 Lithuania, this book examines the complex ethical and religious questions surrounding abortion through the lens of traditional Jewish law, inspired by a real-life decision made by Rabbi Ephraim Oshry during a time of extreme hardship. It explores how classical Jewish perspectives on this sensitive issue compare to contemporary views within modern American Jewish communities. Through this historical and religious context, the book invites reflection on the enduring debates about morality, law, and faith.
