In this Nov. 9, 2011 photo, Yocheved Lerner demonstrates cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique during a women's-only CPR training session in the Borough Park section of New York. Lerner is part of a group of Orthodox Jewish women proposing that an all-female unit join the all-male Hatzolah Volunteer Ambulance Corps to assist women in childbirth or suffering gynecological emergencies. The proposal stems from a need for emergency services to adhere to the Orthodox Jewish community’s modesty customs that call for the sexes to avoid physical contact unless they are related.

They have separate swimming hours at indoor pools. But for an emergency birth, Orthodox Jewish women will usually turn to the all-male volunteer ambulance corps known as Hatzolah.
