"The argument--that Judaism, as opposed to Christianity, celebrates sex as a divinely sanctioned act--is presented in a relentlessly upbeat tone....Through this book, Dr. Ruth offers a sexual 'light unto the nations.'"--Forward

Synopsis
In this lighthearted, lively tour of sexuality within Jewish religion and culture, Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer and Jonathan Mark team up to reveal how, contrary to popular wisdom, the Jewish tradition is much more progressive in many regards than one might think. Applying Dr. Ruth's unique brand of "couples therapy" to such Biblical relationships as those of Abraham and Sarah, and Joseph and Potiphar's wife, the authors enlist Biblical lore to cover such topics as surrogacy, incest, and arranged marriages. They offer a clearer understanding of the intertwining relationships among sexuality, spirituality, and sexual roles through a look at the latter books of the Bible--the Song of Songs, Ruth, Proverbs, Psalms, and some of the bawdier tales of the Prophets. One chapter provides a provocative metaphorical perspective on the Sabbath as a weekly revival, highlighting not only its spiritual but its marital and sexual aspects as well., In this lighthearted, lively tour of sexuality within Jewish religion and culture, Dr. Ruth K.

Public libraries should add this book to ensure that yeshiva students not be the only ones to discover how fascinating the Torah can be".--Booklist

    This book exceeded my hopes & expectations. It arrived in just 3 days, in pristine condition, as if I plucked it from a book store shelf myself. In the exact condition as all the photos the seller posted (which was the deciding factor in my buying it here). A beautiful book, I was gleeful looking through it. Purchased as a birthday gift for my Brother, a Titanic aficionado since childhood, he is thrilled with it. Highly recommended Seller. Would buy from again anytime. A+++++ Heartfelt Thanks!
