Sa razvojem medicinske tehnologije kao i porastom broja educiranih žena, koje mogu same održavati obitelj, sve više židovskih žena izabire mogućnost da same imaju djecu
(
da budu samohrane majke po svom izboru).
NEW YORK (JTA) -- When Emily Wolper broke her engagement six years ago, she promised herself that if the time came when she felt ready to have a child and she was still single, she’d have one on her own. Now 37, Wolper, a college admissions consultant in Morristown, N.J., is undergoing in-vitro fertilization treatments. ...
U članku se daje primjer Emily Wolper, koja je nakon raskida veze ostala sama i u 37.godini odlučila da prođe kroz in-vitro fertilizacijski tretman (umjetnu oplodnju). Ako uspije pridružiti će se rastućem broju židovskih žena koje su odlučile biti "samohrane" majke po izboru.
Nije željela da u svojim četrdesetim godinama bude bez djece..
"Majčinstvo
je previše važno da bi ovisilo o tome da li ću naći muža...
rekla je prilikom intervjua"
Studije pokazuju da se američke židovske žene udaju u starijoj dobi nego ikada prije i sve ih se više susreće sa izborom da li da postanu "samohrane" majke, dok su još biološki za to sposobne ili da čekaju onog "pravog". Mnoge od njih kažu da je to teška odluka, da podižu djecu same. Da li će konzervativna obitelj ili prijatelji njih odbaciti, da li će ih kasnije njihova djeca osuđivati zbog toga. Tu su i troškovi, tretman fertiliteta košta od 10.000-50.000 $ . U Izraelu je besplatno za žene koje imaju dvoje djece.

Tehilla Blumenthal, an Israeli psychologist wrote her doctoral dissertation on single Jewish mothers. “For most women, the ideal is to get married and have kids,” Blumenthal said. “Their biological clocks are ticking, and these women are no longer going to sit around and wait. And when more of the Jewish community is accepting this, why should they?”
U prosjeku od 15.000 članica američke grupe " Single Mother by Choise" ima 30% Židovskih žena.
Danas ima u prosjeku jedno takvo dijete
u svakom razredu u Jeruzalemu i broj brzo raste.

Even in Orthodox circles, there is a growing acceptanceof single mothers by choice, according to Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, who is on an an Israeli government ethics committee. While some rabbinic authorities object to fertility treatments for single women, others say Jewish law, or halachah, permits it.
Dok neki rabinski autoriteti kritiziraju postupak fertilizacije za žene koje su same, drugi kažu da židovski zakon Halacha , to dozvoljava.
But the Puah Institute, an infertility support center in Jerusalem that provides counseling to Jewish women and Jewish families around the world, refuses to counsel unmarried women about fertility treatments. Instead, Puah recommends that they freeze their eggs tobuy themselves more time.“Our guidance tells us to only help married people because a child should be a product of a husband and wife,” said Rabbi Gideon Weitzman, director of Puah’s English-speaking Department for Fertility and Medicine....
