Abortion In Israel: Friends of Efrat

The "Friends of Efrat" (Hebrew: ), is a

group of volunteers who identify strongly with

Efrat's goal that no Jewish child should be

lost to the Jewish People due to the

economic concerns of the parents. A corollary

of that goal is that no Jewish woman should

have to go through an abortion due to financial concerns. According to Efrat

there are close to 50,000 abortions in Israel every year. Last year in an

average week in Israel over nine hundred (900) babies were lost to abortion,mainly due to economic concerns. Many of these abortions could be

prevented, if only the woman was provided some basic social and financial

support. 1

Abortion In Israel: Be'ad Chaim

Be'ad Chaim (Pro Life) (Hebrew: ) is

an Israeli Non-Profit organization dedicated

to the protection of mothers and unborn

children. This ministry is a national

organization with offices and hotlines

throughout Israel. Be'ad Chaim believes all

women are eligible for our assistance, regardless of nationality or religious

beliefs. Their clients include native Israelis both Arab and Jew, and

immigrants from Russia, Ethiopia, Europe, the United States, and elsewhere

in the world. Be'ad Chaim's goal is to show women, and men, an alternative

to abortion, so that they will choose life. Seven (7) days a week, on the

ground and in the public square, Be'ad Chaim provides alternatives to

abortion, post-abortion counseling, conferences, workshops, and practical

help to new mothers. The ultimate goal of Be'ad Chaim is to End Abortion-

On-Demand in Israel. Sandy Shoshani, the Director of Be'ad Chaim, wants

us all to realize God's promise to His people, Israel, as he says in

Deuteronomy 30:19 "This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses

against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.

Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." 2

Abortion In Israel: International Messianic Jewish Alliance

According to Messianic Rabbi Joel Liberman,Executive Director of the International

Messianic Jewish Alliance (IMJA), "in Israel

today, 50,000 children are aborted each

year. While this figure indicates a small

decline in abortions, the number is still

appalling. Israel approves 98% of all abortion

requests and 40% of those abortions are

granted to married women. The number of

unwed mothers continues to grow. It is one

matter to consider what G-d thinks of all this.

He certainly makes His concern clear in Deuteronomy 30:19 'This day I

call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life

and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your

children may live.'" 3

My brother in Christ, Joel Liberman, continues to bring clarity, coherence,

challenge and vision to the debate surrounding abortion in Israel when he

shares: "From A Practical Aspect, Israel is overwhelmed by its Arab

neighbors. She is outnumbered by her surrounding neighbors fifty (50) to one

(1). Her population totals only two percent (2%) of those nations. Also, her

Arab citizens are having larger families than most Israelis. It is quiteconceivable that between Israel's Arab citizens and the 'Palestinians' in Gaza

and the West Bank, she could find herself a minority within her own borders.

This could challenge the Jewish nature of Israel in the future. Can we

overlook the fact that Israel needs every single person? From A Spiritual

Aspect, every aborted child is one less person who will have the opportunity

to grow up and contribute to the miracle that is modern Israel. Also, that

unborn child will never have the opportunity to hear the Good News and

contribute to the biblical and spiritual fabric of the nation." 4

Abortion In Israel: Issues4Life FoundationThe Issues4Life Foundation is dedicated to

protecting human life from the moment of our

biological beginning, regardless of the means

by which we were procreated, method of

reproduction, age, race, sex, gender, physical

International Messianic Jewish Alliance. We

believe persons are not property. We believe

all life is precious, but human life has been

uniquely "created in the image and likeness of God" and should be

respected and protected by love and by law. Brothers, I beseech you by the

meekness and gentleness of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour (2nd

Corinthians 10:1a),5 that we join forces with the Friends of Efrat, the Be'ad

Chaim and the International Messianic Jewish Alliance in an effort to End

Abortion by meeting the needs of women and children and that we believe

in our hearts and embrace in our public policies Genesis 12:3 which says:

"And I will bless them that bless thee [Israel], and curse him that curseth

thee [Israel]: and in thee [Israel] shall all families of the earth be blessed." 6

Brothers, we really need to talk.

1. Friends of Efrat is a small group of "mini-philanthropists" who have taken upon themselves of saving a minimum

of one Jewish child a year. For $100 a month for a year on your credit card (which is less than $4 a day for a

year!) you can save the life of a Jewish child in Israel. $300 a month, for example, would save the lives of three

Jewish children every year (http://bit.ly/mftEfs).
