Authors: Avraham Peretz FRIEDMAN

A Traditional Jewish Approach explores the complex and mulitfaceted subject of intimacy in the Jewish marriage. The author takes a traditonal Jewish approach to an aspect of Jewish life that is misinterpreted by some as centering on the denial of pleasure. Jewish literature has often addressed the negative aspects of the power of the human sexual drive. This is a misrepresentation and, ultimately, a falsification of Jewish tradition.
Marital Intimacy is a refreshing affirmation of the Jewish view of sexuality in which the Sages laud the enjoyment of physical pleasure in general - and sexual pleasure within the marriage relationship in particular - while still condoning hedonism and self-indulgence.
