Classical Jewish teachings regarding sexuality, including homosexuality, masturbation, and pre-marital sex, generate personal conflicts and social consequences that demand our attention. So long as these tensions are not addressed, community members are confronted with a choice between the restrictions of the tradition and the permissive orientation of contemporary culture. This session intends to step into that breach by proposing a contemporary sexual ethic which offers guidelines that emanate from Jewish sources and reflect a modern sensibility.
