Breast cancer is not a cause for shame
The diagnosis of the disease is a protection to get treatment. It is not a cause for shame.
Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani
Director of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem
Self-examinations should not be seen as an immodest act
Learning how to regularly perform a breast self-examination should not be seen as a shameful or immodest act. But rather it is every woman's religious duty to preserve her own life and detect cancer early.
Rabbi Noam Hertig
Chief Rabbi of Israeli Cultural Center of Zurich
