Podcasts about expectant

It is standard medical procedure for expectant mothers to undergo periodic ultrasound examinations, during which the physicians see the fetus so it can be carefully examined to ensure it is developing properly. During this examination, the doctor can easily identify the fetus' gender, and doctors generally pass on this information to the parents. The question arises whether it is proper, from a Torah perspective, for the parents to learn the fetus' gender during pregnancy. The Torah commands, "Tamim Tiheyeh Im Hashem Elokecha" ("You shall be innocent with Hashem your G-d" – Debarim 18:13), which is understood as an obligation not to concern ourselves with the future, to conduct ourselves the way we see fit, placing our trust in Hashem, without trying to access information about the future. Does finding out a fetus' gender violate this principle? We do not find any clear-cut basis in Halachic literature to forbid such a practice, and it would appear that learning a fetus' gender does not indicate a lack of faith in G-d or an inappropriate attempt to access information about the future. There is, however, one interesting passage in the Midrash which perhaps leads us to discourage this practice. The Midrash (Kohelet Rabba) lists several pieces of information which G-d withheld from human beings. For example, nobody knows when he will leave this world, and, quite obviously, G-d arranged this intentionally so that we will always conduct ourselves properly, rather than wait and repent shortly before we die. As we do not know when we will leave this world, we have no choice but to approach every day as potentially our last, and conduct ourselves accordingly. The Midrash also includes in this list the thoughts of other people. G-d does not empower us to read other people's minds, because if people could access each other's thoughts, the world would be overrun by animosity. The Midrash lists a fetus' gender as one of the pieces of information which G-d withholds from us. No reason is given, but we can reasonably assume that if the Midrash includes a fetus' gender in this list, there must be a valuable reason for this information to be denied to us. Perhaps, if the mother was hoping for one gender, then knowing that the infant is the other gender could cause her distress, which might be detrimental to the child. Or, perhaps to the contrary, knowing the gender during pregnancy diminishes from the excitement when the baby is born. In any event, the Midrash clearly indicates that it is for our benefit that G-d conceals from parents their child's gender during pregnancy. While this Midrash certainly does not suffice to establish a Halachic prohibition against finding out a fetus' gender, it would seem that this is something which should be discouraged, unless there is a particular reason to obtain this information. In some situations, the parents need to know ahead of time whether a Berit Mila must be arranged, and there might be circumstances where for purposes of Shalom Bayit (harmony between husband and wife) this information is valuable. When such a need arises, it is certainly acceptable to be told the gender, as this does not violate any Halachic prohibition. We should add that if the father is a Kohen, there might actually be value in the parents' finding out the fetus' gender. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) addresses the question of whether a woman who is married to a Kohen may come in contact with Tum'at Met (the impurity generated by a human corpse) during pregnancy, such as by visiting a cemetery or entering a home where a corpse is present. All male Kohanim, including infants, are included in the prohibition which forbids Kohanim from coming in contact with Tum'at Met, and the question thus arises as to whether a pregnant wife of a Kohen should avoid Tum'at Met, in case she gives birth. The Mishna Berura rules that this is permissible, because it is a situation of "Sefek Sefeka" – where two uncertainties are involved. First, it is uncertain whether the fetus is a boy, who is forbidden from coming in contact with Tum'at Met, or a girl, who is not forbidden. Second, it is possible that the infant will be stillborn, Heaven forbid, in which case, of course, there is no prohibition. On this basis, the Mishna Berura permits the pregnant wife of a Kohen to go to a place where there is a human corpse. However, in a situation where Halacha permits something because of a "Sefek Sefeka," if it becomes possible to resolve one of the uncertainties, there is an obligation to do. Therefore, in the case of a wife of a Kohen who is pregnant, there is value in determining the gender in order to resolve the first uncertainty. Then, if she is carrying a boy, she would be required to avoid exposure to Tum'at Met, and if it is a girl, this would not be necessary. It should be noted that the Magen Abraham (Rav Abraham Gombiner, 1633-1683) maintained that the pregnant woman in any event would be permitted to go to a place where there is Tum'at Met, because the prohibition does not apply in such a case. Therefore, in consideration of this opinion, we would not go so far as to require a Kohen's pregnant wife to determine the child's gender. (Parenthetically, we should note that a Kohen's wife is certainly allowed to go to a hospital to deliver the child, despite the high probability that there is a human corpse in the hospital, because this is a situation of Pikua'h Nefesh – a potentially life-threatening circumstance. Additionally, the spread of Tum'a from one room to another and one floor to another in the hospital likely occurs only Mi'de'rabbanan (on the level of Rabbinic enactment), such that there is greater room for leniency.) Summary: There is no Halachic prohibition against finding out a fetus' gender during pregnancy, though it is preferable not to, unless there is a particular need, or if not knowing could compromise Shalom Bayit. If the father is a Kohen, it might, according to some opinions, be preferable to find out the gender, so that the mother will avoid places of Tum'at Met if it's a boy, and will not have to avoid such places if it is a girl. If the couple does not know the gender, the woman is nevertheless allowed to visit places where there is Tum'at Met.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I started the adoption process a few months ago and we just matched with an expectant mom. We are obviously excited, but we also know that a lot can happen or change between now and her due date. My question is two fold. (1) Although a lot of people in our life know we are going through the adoption process, who should we tell beyond our immediate families? (2) I am a small business owner. Since we are adopting a baby from another state, I am expecting to be out for at least a couple of weeks and then back at work on a limited schedule as my husband and I share caretaking duties. Internally, my team is already aware and on board with when this will happen, and they will handle client requests on my behalf while I am out. But at what point is it appropriate to share with my clients that this change is taking place? Resources:Failed Adoption Matches: How Common? How Costly?

Have you ever felt like you're living life bracing for impact? Have you ever wondered how it could be possible to pursue Jesus earnestly yet simultaneously live with elbows locked? So many of us have developed a posture of self-protection, just waiting for the next storm to hit, but my guest today has spent the last few years cultivating an expectant heart around God's goodness. My dear friend,  Susie Larson shares how God helped her move from disappointment and hurt to genuine expectancy. Lean in and listen to Susie's incredible story, and don't forget to grab her latest book, Waking Up to the Goodness of God: 40 Days Toward Healing and Wholeness.

Dr. Noa Sterling shares her experience as an OB-GYN, working ‘part time' at 40 hours during her pregnancy changed her career. She shares how intense back-to-back 24 hour shifts while pregnant led her to leave her ob-gyn practice and create a platform helping parents across the country. This conversation is deeply personal to me, as navigating the complex journey of pregnancy and post-partum while managing the demands of a high-pressure career was a challenge for me, as it is for so many women. Dr. Noa Sterling shares her experience as an OB-GYN and her bold decision to form a platform to help parents and serve the critical need to create better holistic support systems for expectant parents. It was inspiring to hear how she transformed her challenges into Sterling Parents, a platform addressing gaps in traditional reproductive care through detailed, compassionate, and evidence-based resources. We bonded over balancing the delicate nuances of professional obligations and personal well-being. For me it led me to a pivotal decision: to step away from the corporate world and forge my own path. It was a move driven by the necessity to reclaim my health and prioritize my family, underscoring the importance of self-care during such a transformative phase. In our conversation, we explored the role of accurate, accessible information and community support in alleviating the often-overwhelming mental load associated with pregnancy and postpartum phases. It was a heartfelt reminder of the profound impact of understanding and empathy in healthcare. As I listened to Dr. Sterling, I was reminded of my own journey towards embracing authenticity and the power of sharing our true experiences.

Many people are familiar with only a sanitized, children's version of the Bible, which often omits themes like murder, deception, sex, and jealousy. When we compare ourselves to biblical heroes, we forget they are human too, reflecting our own sins and need for God. Watch "Expectant Patience" to learn the significance of waiting for the Lord to act and the dangers of using deception to try and speed up His plan.Link: https://restoration.subspla.sh/rdp7r5w#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Welcome to the fourth terrace of Purgatory proper!Dante and Virgil reach the top of the stairs just as night falls and the pilgim loses all possibility of forward momentum. He hesitates--from sloth?--and turns to Virgil--still damned!--to explain where they are.Virgil, the guide of Purgatory. It's still as shocking as it was sixteen cantos ago!Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we stop at the cusp of the fourth terrace of Purgatory proper.Would you like to help underwrite the many costs of this podcast?

If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:12] What truce has been called when it comes to the pilgrim's legs? And why does this fourth terrace of Purgatory seem so very silent and empty?[07:33] Is Dante the pilgrim hesitant? Or slothful?[08:59] Why is Virgil's explanation of the terrace so opaque, so poetic?[10:25] Is COMEDY beginning to value opacity?[12:37] What is the medieval understanding of sloth? How would Dante define it?[17:26] How does PURGATORIO, Canto XVII, match two cantos in INFERNO (XI and XVII)?[21:02] Reading the passage again: PURGATORIO, Canto XVII, lines 73 - 90.

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology Alli and I are delving into a facet of Christoformity – that is being shaped like Jesus – which doesn't come naturally to either one of us and that is the art of waiting. Now if your wiring tends to be more high-speed like ours and you're prone to cram a week's worth of work on your daily to-do lists, please don't skip out on this episode because not only can I promise it's going to be a shame-free zone, I can also promise this conversation is jam-packed with encouragement and practical theology about pacing because the biblical context of waiting rarely refers to a complete cessation of activity. In other words, when God's people waited in biblical narrative it wasn't remotely stagnant or boring. In fact, both the Old Testament canon and the New Testament canon align the concept of waiting on God with the active posture of expectant hope. There's a huge difference between spiritual stillness and a lethargic lifestyle, y'all! For Christ-followers waiting is less about drumming our fingers with impatience while we wait on someone who's running late and more about our souls sighing with contentment and trust as we wait for our Creator Redeemer whose timing may not always match our expectations yet is always perfect! Increasing our capacity to wait on God is congruent with an increased confidence that He's always in the process of redeeming our inherent dignity as imago Dei; He's always in the process of mitigating the evil that wounds and corrupts humanity; and He's always in the process of decreasing the gap between the here and now and the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. So please grab a cup of decaf and your Bible, push any mental distractions to the edge of your mind, then take a seat on the porch next to us, prop your feet up and exhale – I have a feeling Holy Spirit's going to take a load off lots of us today.
