There are so many people in our community who with much anguish and emotional pain struggle to conceive or complete a pregnancy.

The Torah tells of how Avraham and Sarah, Yitschak and Rivka, Yaakov and Rachel, our forefathers and foremothers, also struggled with fertility problems. Throughout our long history we have followed their example of praying to G-d mindful of the profound truth that children are among His most creative and awesome miracles.

G-d has given doctors and scientists the wisdom and inspiration to make dramatic advances in technology and medicine that can greatly increase the likelihood of giving birth to a healthy child. The Malka Ella Fertility Fund provides the financial support to make these wonderful advances available to those in need and thereby becomes what the Talmud would call a partner in the creating with G-d Himself.

The South African Jewish Community is very blessed to have the Malka Ella Fertility Fund.

May G-d continue to bless their holy and wonderous work.
