Resources for the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Repro Shabbat

People holding up signs at a rally in front of the Capitol building in Washington D.C. Signs say Reform Jews fight for abortion rights.

January 22nd will mark 50 years since Roe v. Wade and the first anniversary since the Supreme Court overturned Roe last summer, paving the way for states to ban abortion and restrict other critical reproductive health services. As you incorporate reflection, lessons, and advocacy around abortion access and reproductive freedom in your community's programming during this time, we share these resources.

Mark your calendar for NCJW's Repro Shabbat February 17th-18th (Parshah Mishpatim) when the Reform Jewish Movement will join with the wider Jewish community to recommit ourselves to reproductive health and rights.

Here, you will find resources to guide reflection, support abortion access, and uplift the Reform Movement's commitment to abortion access and reproductive freedom in your congregations and communities for the anniversary, Repro Shabbat, and beyond.
