A Place for Jewish Women Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage, a Stillbirth,Or the Death of a Child Younger Than 30 Days Old
"It is my hope that this site will provide you with some information, prayers and rituals that you can use to bring you solace. I pray that what you find and those you speak to will help you move from the darkness into the light, from the despair of the other mourners in Zion to the hope and comfort that G-d offers to each Jewish woman, at all times in her life. I do this in memory of my little girl born too soon."
