A Lifetime Companion to the Laws of Jewish Family Life was written to help married -- or about to be married -- couples of all ages learn the laws of Jewish marital life. In addition, particular emphasis was placed on achieving an understanding of the interplay between Jewish law and women"s health issues throughout the life cycle. It includes a comprehensive treatment of the Jewish laws governing sexual relations and menstruation, ritual bathing, pregnancy and birth control, menopause, infertility and medical conditions.
