Our Mission
Tahareinu is the global frontline for medical solutions for Taharas Hamishpacha and reproductive health. We transform lives by imparting the most up-to-date global medical knowledge to educate and empower women, couples, and Jewish communal leadership, all the while partnering with medical professionals worldwide.
Our Founders:
Rabbi and Mrs. Yitzchok and Chaya Melber
Working as a rabbi in the community, Rabbi Melber swiftly grasped the need to address Tahara and women’s health issues by offering the most updated medical solutions. At the behest of Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, zt”l, Rabbi Melber began attending medical conferences while earning a degree in Public Health Advocacy and a Masters in Leadership. He is a member of the Israel Health Ministry’s Commission on the Advancement of Women’s Health, and has written halachic works on infertility, contraception, and intimacy dysfunction. In 2009, Rabbi Melber founded Tahareinu together with his wife, Mrs. Chaya Melber, a marriage and family counselor, who directs Tahareinu’s hotline and counsels as a case manager.

Their stories. Our successes.
“I couldn’t get to mikvah due to mid-cycle bleeding. I called Tahareinu, who immediately diagnosed my condition as PCOS. I received proper treatment, which not only relieved my mid-cycle bleeding, it also enabled me to become pregnant. Baruch Hashem, we had a healthy baby girl a year later!”
“I bled for months after my cesarean, and the pills my gynecologist prescribed didn’t help. I called Tahareinu, who quickly identified the problem as a ‘niche.’ My OB concurred, I underwent surgery, and two weeks later, I was at the mikvah.”
After assessing my situation, Tahareinu suggested I ask my OBGYN about a new medication on the market for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Less than a year later, b”H, we had a healthy baby.”
“I had short cycles, which was a Tahara and a fertility problem. Tahareinu advised me to ask my OBGYN about a medication that would enable more Tahara days, and possibly solve my problem of not conceiving due to ovulation before mikvah. B”H, the medication took effect, on both accounts!”

❝ I felt so alone and vulnerable, but thank Hashem there are people who care through the organization called Tahareinu. It is literally lifeline – when no one else was able to help me, Tahareinu was the one to come through.❞
❝We can’t even begin to describe how hard our journey through this challenging nisayon was before we met with you. ❞
❝After the immense joy of hearing that we were expecting twins, we were thrown into a complicated series of events. The pregnancy was very high risk with one twin endangering the other. We didn’t know where to turn until someone mentioned Tahareinu. With constant care, attention and availability, they were there for us all the way, getting personally involved to solve every problem. Today was the bris of our two precious healthy little boys and we’re eternally grateful to Tahareinu who helped us work our way through these difficult times.❞
❝We began experiencing intimacy problems immediately after our marriage. We desperately wanted to resolve the issue but kept reaching dead ends. Doctors dismissed it, treated it ineffectively or worse still – told me my physical pain was purely psychological. Tahareinu was able to correctly identify the problem and send me to the right specialist. Thank you for giving us our marriage back!❞
❝ We had sailed out on our own through two failed IVF PGD cycles. We thought we were a simple case and went into treatment with no helping hand. We came out battered and bruised from so many misunderstandings between us and the doctor, wasting many hours on the phone trying to get help from the hospital staff, with negative results unexplained. And then we were introduced to Tahareinu. With your vast expertise and contacts, you led us every step of the way, getting us to where we are today.❞
❝ Tahareinu said they would work with us to find a solution come what may – and they did. They were available for us whenever we needed them and baruch Hashem they were successful. The stress I felt before I called them was taking over my life; they gave my husband his wife back, my children got their mother back, and the Ribbono Shel Olam got his daughter back.❞
❝Tahareinu provides important information that can alleviate much unnecessary anguish.❞
❝Already during the course of our first phone call, Tahareinu suspected the source of the problem. They had a wealth of information on a cutting-edge medical procedure that neither I nor any of the medical professionals I met, knew existed. ❞
❝You listened attentively to my story and warmly comforted me. There was still hope, even b’derech hatevah! ❞

Providing you the most up-to-date medical knowledge
“In 1950, doctors could expect medical knowledge to double every 50 years. By 2020, it will take just 73 days, How’s a doctor supposed to keep up?”
–Elisabeth Poorman,
MD, New England Journal of Medicine
Medical technology advances rapidly, constantly opening up unprecedented possibilities.
Yet doctors – overwhelmingly busy and oftentimes specialized – are unable to keep up with all the medical advances that can help their patients.
That’s where Tahareinu comes in.
We keep our finger on the pulse of the latest innovations to ensure YOU receive the most effective and suitable advice for your situation.
HOW WE KEEP CURRENT
Rabbi Melber and Tahareinu’s senior team attend 40 medical conferences internationally, gleaning the latest updates in all fields of gynecology and fertility. We meet with world-renowned experts in each sub-specialty, gaining insights into their research and experience as well as their unique methods of treatment.
We pass on the cutting-edge medical knowledge for you, for doctors, and for community leaders.
Medical Conferences we frequent:
Advocacy
Rabbi Melber is a member of the Israel Health Ministry’s Commission on the Advancement of Women’s Health, tirelessly advocating in this role.
Some of his recent pursuits include:
Approval of insurance coverage for women with endometriosis who wish to freeze oocytes.
Advocating for patients with primary ovarian insufficiency and premature ovarian failure.
Providing funding for women suffering Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) in pregnancy. The symptoms are so severe that many women miss weeks if not months of work, and Rabbi Melber seeks “bedrest” funding accordingly.
