Join Us For Shabbat!

Shabbat!Tonight's Shabbat Times

Reform Services: 6:30PM

Conservative Services: 6:30PM

Orthodox Services (Mincha and Maariv): 6:15PM

A traditional Shabbat dinner will begin at 7:30PM.

Kosher Sex

Judaism is a sex-positive tradition which values sexual pleasure and recognizes that physical intimacy can be an experience of holiness. Although traditionally Judaism advocates full sexual expression only within the context of heterosexual marriage, several modern Jewish thinkers are applying Jewish values to create a new sexual ethic for pre-marital and homosexual relations.

This discussion group will consider traditional and contemporary sources in relation to the sexual decisions college students and others are making in their daily lives.

This group will be co-facilitated by Rabbi Julie Roth, Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Life and Fannie Bialek '09, President of the Sexual Health Advisors.

First Meeting:
Monday, October 15, 2007 at 6pm
Chancellor Green Room 103
For more information, please e-mail Rabbi Julie Roth or Fannie Bialek.
