A Jewish Take on Sex
Sex isn’t a topic we talk about in public very often, and even less is said about how it intersects with spirituality. What does Judaism actually say about pleasure? Is sex a spiritual act? How do we navigate ethics in modern relationships—monogamy, polyamory, and everything in between?
Drawing from the Torah, the Talmud, and contemporary voices, Rabbi Jenna is your hookup to all your juiciest questions about hooking up. Explore how Jewish tradition has understood bodies, desire, boundaries, and connection—and where it leaves room for reinterpretation and resistance. This is a space for honest conversation about how we build relationships, what we want, what we struggle with, and what it might mean to bring intention or even holiness into those dynamics.
No one will be turned away from any of our classes due to lack of funds. For more information, please contact our Jewish Life Associate, Robyn Fishman
Please note: tickets are non-refundable.
