Sex: Jewish Positions

Catalog Accompanying the Exhibition

Unorthodox, Shtisel, and Jewish Matchmaking — these popular TV shows cater to a surprising desire for a peek into the intimate life of Jews.

Whether their protagonists are ultra-Orthodox, secular or somewhere in between, pop culture simplifies a topic that has been the subject of profound debate within the Jewish world ever since the commandment to “be fruitful and multiply.” Rabbis and religious scholars, sex therapists, scientists and artists grapple with traditional ideas and contemporary challenges, and explore Jewish positions on sexuality, in all its diversity.
