About this episode
"It's not good for man to be alone." Living a traditional Jewish life implies marriage and raising a family. Sexual intimacy is highly valued, but only within the framework of a marital bond.
However, whether due to the "shidduch crisis," rising divorce rates, or other circumstances, our communities include many individuals who haven't married, or are widowed or divorced. What are the experiences of singles in attempting to navigate a normal, healthy drive for connection and intimacy with the halachic and communal expectations of sexual abstinence?
Join Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn in a frank discussion about singles and sexuality.
