Yoetzet Halacha of the Five Towns
About us
We are committed to strengthening families and facilitating the observance of Niddah and Mikvah with dignity. Our Yoetzet answers phone calls from many hundreds of women in the greater Five Towns and each year over the past seven years the numbers of calls have increased.
We are an independent not for profit organization that relies on the generous donations of individuals and donations from synagogues and mikvaot. We have an summer fundraiser each year that highlights a relevant and exciting topic addressed by our Yoetzet Lisa and other professionals.
Throughout the year our Yoetzet Halacha teaches Torah with thoughtful shiurim and articles and through social media.
