The Sacred Encounter: Jewish Perspectives on Sexuality takes a close look at the breadth of human sexuality from a Jewish perspective. The essays begin with a look at biblical and rabbinic views on sexuality and then proceed to explore sexuality at different moments in the life cycle, sexuality and the marital model, diverse expressions of sexuality, examples of sexuality education, the nexus of sexuality and theology, and the challenges of contemporary sexual ethics. 

This guide, written by Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch, helps provide a learning framework for this thought-provoking and important Jewish resource. It is perfect for personal study or for high school or adult classes.
