Community Engagement

Bring Dr. Maslow to your community

The intersection of halahka and jewish thought with modernity and technology is not new. However, reproductive technologies create a unique dichotomy where our commitment to “be fruitful and multiply” engages with religion’s predilection for being a “late adopter.” Our community members are growing their families in previously unimaginable ways, which can be both beautiful and isolating. The more we learn about these technologies as a community, the better we can support those families that need to utilize them.

Dr. Maslow is available to lecture your shul or school in person or virtually, for stand alone events or weekend scholar-in-residence. Dr. Maslow has shared her unique expertise on the intersection of reproductive medicine and Jewish life with communities and schools around the country.
