Our Mission & Vision

Transforming genetic knowledge into empowered health decisions for Jewish communities

JewAllergies.com was founded on the belief that genetic health information should be accessible, understandable, and culturally relevant. We recognize that Jewish communities face unique genetic health challenges, with higher carrier frequencies for certain genetic conditions due to historical population bottlenecks and founder effects.

Our platform bridges the gap between complex genetic science and practical health decisions, providing families with the knowledge they need to make informed choices about genetic testing, family planning, and health management. We are committed to serving all Jewish communities - Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi - with culturally sensitive resources and support.
