(67) "Just Be Normal": Navigating conflicts between desire, intimacy, identity and Jewish law (an Intimate Judaism Q&A)

from Intimate Judaism · host Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn

In this Q&A episode of Intimate Judaism, we respond to honest questions about desire, restraint, identity, mental health, and intimacy within Jewish life. We touch on topics including bisexuality, workplace boundaries, what is permitted within marital intimacy, postpartum depression and low desire, shmirat einayim, and even whether leaving the lights on matters. Throughout, we focus on integrating emotional well-being with halachic integrity, rather than shame or self-erasure.
