Educational Resources for Rabbis
Rabbis Are Critical to jscreen's Mission
Rabbis play an important role in securing Jewish futures by sharing information that supports the health and continuity of their communities. Genetic testing helps individuals and couples understand their risk and make informed decisions about their health and their future families.
jscreen offers several ways to partner with your congregation to make genetic testing and education accessible and approachable. Our robust clergy education program provides rabbis with the knowledge and practical tools to confidently discuss genetic testing with couples and individuals. Our outreach and education team can provide education and testing access directly to your community. We can also provide written educational materials to share with your community.

Our services include:
- Provide rabbi education programs about the importance of genetic screening
- Bring a jscreen educational and/or screening event to your community
- Speak with a genetic counselor about culturally sensitive questions
- Request any of our written materials, including:

Genetic Testing Made Simple
jscreen makes genetic testing simple. Individuals order a saliva-based test, provide their sample from home, and receive results with access to genetic counseling. Genetic counselors help explain results, answer questions, and guide individuals through their options. jscreen prides itself on making available culturally sensitive support for those who want their Jewish values and traditions considered as part of the genetic counseling conversation. Together, we can help empower individuals and couples with information and access to testing that supports healthy families and helps secure Jewish futures.
