February 05, 2021 2/6/21 – Shiur 309 – The Torah view of alternative lifestyles, Liberalism and Progressivism
Which liberal and progressive ideas conflict with the Torah? How should Jewish institutions handle LGBT pressures by a member? How does the secular view of sexuality compare to that of the Torah?
