Sex and Judaism- A Webinar Series with Rabbi Nikki


Shaare Emeth 20s and 30s & MaTovu invite you to join us for:
Sex and Judaism: A Webinar Series with Rabbi Nikki
May 10th, 24th, 31st                 7-8:30 p.m. CT


May 10th - Adam and Eve Started It!
How much of our sexual legacy comes from the story of the first two humans of the Torah/Bible? Together, we'll confront Genesis and its role in shaping our own gender roles and expectations.

May 24 - The Torah of Sex
It turns out, Judaism has lots to say about sex: how we learn about it, how we do it, and its place in human life. Come learn a few "best of" texts from Talmud, mixed with some sources from the field of queer theory.

May 31 - Relationship Goals and Problematic Faves
Jews love to mention our ancestors, but do we really examine what their stories and lessons tell us about relationships today? We'll explore a few ideas about "good" and "bad" relationships in our attempt to determine what contemporary sexually active folks (including feminist, queer, and polyamorous folks) might take away from our ancient ancestors.

Meet Rabbi Nikki:
