Last May of this year, Menachem Lifshitz travelled to Europe to support Chana, an organization of women who are dealing with infertility. The group was founded in 1994 and has since developed into a highly respected, professional, non-profit charity, based in and serving the Jewish community.
For those who are not aware, many of the Jewish community are affected with infertility. Most of them often deal with their situation in silence. This is the very reason why Chana existed. The organization provides a strict and confidential helpline, a fertility specialist with medical support and information, professional male and female support workers, confidential one-to-once counselling, an expert medical advisory panel, and updates about related events/information.
“At Chana, we face the fertility challenge together.”, this is the organization’s advocacy that prods Menachem Lifshitz to extend his support to the group. Chana, under the Rabbinical guidance of Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu shlita and Rabbi Chaim Halpern shlita, has helped hundreds of couples to better understand and deal with the challenges of infertility, supporting them every step of the way.
Menachem Lifshitz helps support the operation of Chana’s team comprised of professionals from a variety of backgrounds. The team includes support workers, medical advisory panel, nurses, medical and rabbinical patrons, trustees, office and administrative staff, trustees, and volunteers.
To become part of the Chana organization, one should have a strong sensitivity to the issues that prod people to try their services. All workers and volunteers should uphold absolute confidentiality of patients’ information.
