Shifrah UK - Blog Guidelines

Shifrah UK was created to foster an environment where every Jewish birth worker, birthing woman, and family feels safe and secure. Named after Shifrah and Puah, the courageous Hebrew midwives in the Exodus story, we celebrate and educate on Jewish cultural birth practices, offering information, training, and advocacy in maternity and birth care.

Our blog is a space for birth workers, parents, academics, artists, and healthcare professionals to share perspectives, research, and experiences that contribute to our mission of cultural safety, education, and community support.
