Led by Rabbi Irwin Zeplowitz at The Community Synagogue, 160 Middle Neck Road, Port Washington, NY
A look at subjects in the news with Rabbi Zeplowitz. This Sunday we will look at the issue of "Same Sex Marriage", which has become a more "headline" issue in New York State. Recent polls show that fewer than 4 in 10 New Yorkers would oppose a bill to legalize same sex marriage. Governor Cuomo supports such legislation, and Senator Gillebrand recently sent a letter to NY legislators to revisit this issue. What does Judaism say about this topic? Is Jewish tradition opposed to homosexuality? What interpretations might allow for a reversal of the Torah's seeming rejection of homosexuality? Is it possible to accept a "civil union" in place of marriage? Why might this be solution - or not?
