A Webinar for Parents on Understanding Same Gender Attraction
In today’s world, as children grow and face the complexities of adolescence, parents often seek guidance on how to approach sensitive and challenging topics with compassion and clarity. One such topic is same-gender attraction—a subject that may feel unfamiliar or overwhelming to address but is increasingly relevant for today’s families.
To help parents navigate these discussions, Mikvah.org is hosting a webinar titled “Conversations with Our Children: A Torah and Scientific Understanding of Same Gender Attraction.”
The event will begin with an insightful introduction by Rabbi B. Hertz, setting the tone for a meaningful discussion by framing the topic through a Torah perspective. Following the rabbi’s introduction, Dr. Koby Frances, PhD, will present an in-depth exploration of both the scientific and Torah viewpoints on same-gender attraction. To end off we will be having a Q&A session.
This discussion is particularly timely as years ago, the Lubavitcher Rebbe addressed this topic. His perspective resonates even more strongly today, as the complexities of our current world bring these issues to the forefront.
The webinar aims to provide parents with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to approach their children with understanding, sensitivity, and empowerment. It is designed to offer practical guidance that aligns with our Jewish & Chassidic values, fostering open communication and helping parents address this important aspect of their children’s developing years.
