Pronatalism is the practice and ideology of encouraging biological reproduction. While many religions as well as national and ethnic identities can be described as pronatalist, scholarship about reproduction among Jews often describes Jews and Judaism as foundationally and absolutely pronatalist. This article demonstrates the nuances of existing pronatalism in Jewish policy and practice, and highlights diverse reproductive practices and strategies among Jews in order to demonstrate that pronatalism is not the sum total of Jewish reproductive policy, advocacy, or praxis. Section 2 provides a brief overview of some of the biblical and rabbinic sources that many view as religious roots for Jewish prontalism. The sections 3.1 and 3.2 focus on Jewish pronatalism in Israel and America. Throughout this article, we will see how pronatalism has been applied and internalized through ethnic, racial, and able-bodied lenses. While pronatalism is undoubtedly a strong cultural and religious force, this article provides a nuanced picture of reproduction among Jews by considering reproductive practices and strategies of Jewish women to be in conversation with pronatalist policies and ideologies. By decentering pronatalism in the study of reproduction and attitudes toward reproduction, we see that demographic continuity is just one of many considerations in Jewish reproductive practices.

犹太亲生主义：政策和实践

Pronatalism 是鼓励生物繁殖的实践和意识形态。虽然许多宗教以及民族和种族身份都可以被描述为生育主义者，但关于犹太人生殖的学术研究经常将犹太人和犹太教描述为根本和绝对的生育主义者。本文展示了犹太政策和实践中现有亲生主义的细微差别，并强调了犹太人的不同生殖实践和策略，以证明亲生主义不是犹太生殖政策、倡导或实践的总和。第 2 节简要概述了一些圣经和拉比来源，许多人认为这些来源是犹太早产的宗教根源。第 3.1 和 3.2 节重点讨论以色列和美国的犹太亲生主义。在整篇文章中，我们将看到如何通过种族、种族和健全的镜头来应用和内化亲生主义。虽然生育主义无疑是一种强大的文化和宗教力量，但本文通过考虑犹太妇女的生育实践和策略与生育主义政策和意识形态的对话，提供了犹太人生育的细微差别。通过在生殖研究和生殖态度中去中心化生育主义，我们看到人口连续性只是犹太人生殖实践中的众多考虑因素之一。本文通过考虑犹太妇女的生殖实践和策略与生育政策和意识形态进行对话，提供了犹太人生殖的细微差别。通过在生殖研究和生殖态度中去中心化生育主义，我们看到人口连续性只是犹太人生殖实践中的众多考虑因素之一。本文通过考虑犹太妇女的生殖实践和策略与生育政策和意识形态进行对话，提供了犹太人生殖的细微差别。通过在生殖研究和生殖态度中去中心化生育主义，我们看到人口连续性只是犹太人生殖实践中的众多考虑因素之一。
