The Sex Strike Controversy: An Intimate Judaism Live Conversation

from Intimate Judaism · host Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn

The infamous "Sex Strike" was recently spearheaded by influencer Adina Miles, AKA "Flatbush Girl,"  in order to apply communal pressure to men and their rabbis to free Malky Berkowitz, who has been refused a get for four years. This initiative has created a great deal of outrage in Jewish Orthodox communities, and the "responsa" on social media platforms has been passionate and robust. Some have expressed concern that withholding sex, even for one night, is liable to destroy more marriages. Others see the outrage as the problem, and point out the lack of such fury over get refusal.  Join Rabbi Scott Kahn and Talli Rosenbaum as they discuss the desperate need for immediate solutions to prevent and free agunot, as well as the drawbacks of this form of protest.
