Individual rights and freedoms around personal relationships – including sexuality, gender identity, reproductive freedom and the human and civil rights of the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian/Gay/Bi-sexual/Transgender/Questioning) community – can be controversial. They are legislated in Congress and state houses and argued about over dinner tables across the country.

Over the centuries, Judaism has addressed these matters frankly and openly and continues to do so under the rabbinic heading of Hilkhot Ishut, Laws of Personal Status.

Join us for an evening with Rabbi Sandy Seltzer when he’ll discuss how Judaism deals with these issues past and present.
