Mission

Bishvilaych is the first and only woman-to-woman nonprofit organization focused on medical care and health promotion for Jewish women in Israel. Our mission is to foster informed self-care among women and promote medicine as inclusive of social, physical, and mental health through prevention and early detection in both lay leaders and health professionals. Initiatives focus on religious Jewish women in Israel, who often lack ready access to health information, and who often live with the stress of large families in overcrowded living conditions and economic privation. Given these factors as well as religious and socio-cultural barriers to accessing accurate health information and services.We have pioneered innovations in direct health services and community and professional education.
