Last week, our Yoetzet Halacha, Rifka Sonenberg, along with other Yoatzot Halacha Melavot Poriyut (Fertility Counsellors), attended a conference organized by Member of Knesset Michal Woldiger. 

The purpose of the conference was to discuss the different perspectives and challenges of creating a law regulating posthumous collection and use of s***m. Unfortunately, this topic has become very relevant since the beginning of the Iron Swords war.

Who We Are...

The Canadian Yoatzot Initiative (CYI) connects individuals in the Greater Toronto Area and across Canada who have halachic questions to a yoetzet halacha, an halachic advisor, who can offer knowledgeable and sensitive advice in a timely fashion. Questions can be discussed directly via phone, email or through our webform.

The Canadian Yoatzot Initiative is run under the auspices of Mizrachi Canada in their capacity as a leading organization in Canada which looks to add value and enhance the modern Orthodox and religious Zionist community in Canada.
