A BRAND NEW WEBSITE FOR SUPPORT OF THE CHILDLESS!
According to the September 10-16th JEWISH JOURNAL, Anna Olswanger, 56 and childless, married only recently, has started Yersha.com to give SUPPORT to JEWS who DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.
"Yerusha means legacy, and part of Olswanger's mission is to help childless Jews leave a legacy without having children. A PAGE OF NOTEABLE PEOPLE WITHOUT CHILDREN is there for the reading. She's addressing the PAIN AND SHAME MANY FEEL FOR NOT HAVING CHILDREN...?
Maybe Jewish people have more problems with these issues than people from other faiths?
HERE IS THE MESSAGE I LEFT FOR ANNA and HER FRIENDS!
I have a blog NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS on Google. I am a NMNK myself. I wish to give support to the childless life, without apology for choosing not to have children (though the pressure to have children when you can't or won't sometimes makes some of us defensive.) Since I'm not Jewish nor especially religious, but was raised with the option of the nunnery or other religious holy order as another dignified way to live, perhaps it is easier for me. PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHOUT CHILDREN HAVE SO MUCH MORE TIME TO BE BUSY IN THE WORLD as activists, and are able to take risks (such as having your own business) that those with children do not. I think many NMNKs leave the legacy of being excellent examples as human beings for a life that is worthy.
