Ezras Nashim
Over the last fifty years, volunteer-based Emergency Medical Services (EMS) groups have grown to become renowned international organizations servicing Jewish communities world-wide; the care they provide is invaluable and unparalleled. We are deeply grateful to the men who volunteer their time and rely on their services for ourselves, family and friends. However, there is a significant void in first response medical services in the observant Jewish Community that we are prepared to fill: Dignified emergency care for women, provided by women.
As observant Jewish women, Tznius, or modesty, is way of life. It dictates the way we dress, speak and act on a daily basis. Our personal identity and the defining characteristic we bring forth to nations of the world is our dedication to Tznius. According to Jewish law, the preservation of human life trumps almost anything, even Tzinus.
For the past five decades, Jewish women have been given only two sub-par options in emergency care: be treated by men in their immediate community, resulting in a very uncomfortable situation that threatens their Tznius or turn outside the community for assistance. Inspired by our ancestral midwives, Shifrah and Pooah, it is time for Bnos Yisroel to reclaim our role as healers and midwives for our mothers, daughters, sisters and fellow woman. B’Zchus Nashim Tzidkaniyos, we invite you to become our partners.

With the help of inspirational outstanding trailblazers like you, my mom Dale Eichenbaum Pianko Ruchie Freier and Leah Freier Levine, I am confident that “our sensitivities” will not only be addressed but anticipated.
It is my hope and prayer, this Rosh Chodesh Av, that others follow in your example. Together, let’s engage in Ahavat Chinam by performing acts of kindness towards our fellow man or woman, without questions, without analyzing agendas – simply with love.
Excuse me Ma’am – how can we improve your experience.
