Anna Olswanger started up Yerusha.com a website which she hopes to grow into a support site for older Jews without children.

I formed the idea of Yerusha, a worldwide organization for Jewish women like myself, and Jewish men, past normal child-bearing age, who believe they may never have children, either biologically or by adoption.

I envisioned Yerusha as a way to bring these Jews together, both online and in the real world, to explore the meaning and experience of being a childless Jewish adult.

And I wanted participants to help each other discover ways to create their inheritance (“yerusha”) for future generations.
