Totally Unexpected!

Elisheva Liss - Sex-Ed in Traditional Jewish-Orthodox Communities


Listen Later

Chavie and Elisheva begin by discussing the challenges and benefits of creating free content on social media. Elisheva shares how her love for words started at a young age and how she always aspired to be a therapist. She eventually specialized in relationships and sexuality after noticing that very few were addressing this topic within the Orthodox Jewish community. They also highlight the importance of normalizing biologically accurate language around body parts and intimacy. They then talk about the need to maintain the spectrum of our “systems” and values while also evolving in order to foster healthier societies and avoid the pitfalls of secrecy and shame.

Elisheva Liss is a licensed marriage and family therapist in the New York area. She works with individuals and couples to help improve their quality of life and relationships. The most common issues she treats are depression, anxiety, sexual, and relationship challenges.
