Does God Belong in the Bedroom

By Rabbi Michael Gold
(215 Pages)Publisher: Jewish Publication Society, 1992

Jewish sexual ethics for today.... We live in an age of sexual confusion. The traditional guidelines, evolved in simpler times, no longer answer all our modern questions. Does Judaism offer appropriate guidelines to the intimacy of the bedroom? Can we bridge the gap between tradition and the dilemmas of our time? In this book Rabbi Michael Gold turns to the Torah, the wisdom of the rabbis of the Talmud, the Midrash, and other classic Jewish sources. He traces traditional Jewish responses through the ages and applies their lessons to the post-pill, AIDS-conscious world Jews live in today. Rabbi Gold explores the vast reservoir of rabbinic sources on sexuality, ranging from extreme asceticism to a frank celebration of love and sexuality. He demonstrates how those classical sources differ from other religions and modern secular ethics, examining such issues as marital, nonmarital, and extramarital sex; pornography; rape and incest; masturbation; homosexuality; birth control; abortion; new reproductive techniques; and sex education. More than a study of texts, this is a frank and honest approach to sexual ethics.
