Where It Began

In 1976, on Yom Kippur, the Lubavitcher Rebbe called for the creation of an organization to support new mothers during the postpartum period. Shifra & Puah, named after the two midwives in Egypt who helped Jewish mothers with both physical and emotional care, was established to carry out this mission. Their actions ensured the continuity of Jewish life under difficult circumstances, and it was in their merit that the Jewish nation was redeemed. Following the Rebbe’s vision, organizations bearing their name have spread worldwide, fostering a sense of community and support for mothers.

Here We Are

In 2024, Shifra & Puah Las Vegas was launched as a volunteer-based organization dedicated to nurturing new mothers. It offers mother’s a supportive environment with nourishing food to help women during the early days of motherhood.

Shifra & Puah plans on expanding out to other LV communities and offer more services as we grow to learn more please feel free to contact us.
