No men in next gynecology conference

After being criticized for the absence of female lecturers from its annual gynecology conference, the Puah Institute decided Monday to hold another gynecology conference, this time exclusively for women.

The event will be held in about half a year. The institute, which works with Jewish couples with fertility problems according to Jewish Law, clarified that it would be an inseparable part of the annual conference, in which only men are allowed to speak.

“The decision on the annual conference’s summer session was made following Puah Institute’s desire to create unity among the Jewish people and prove that the institute’s intention is to glorify women, and not to exclude them in any way,” the institute said in a statement.
