Why Is This Sex Book Different from All Other Sex Books?: A Parent’s Guide to Embracing Sexuality Through Jewish Wisdom

By Meryl Slipakoff Cohen, M.Ed., LCSW

Why is This Sex Book Different from All Other Sex Books? is different because Judaism is different. King Solomon’s Song of Songs is a perfect example of our appreciation for sensuality and the beauty that our bodies can bring. The Hebrew word “yada” means “sex” but also means “to know.” In Judaism, we do not separate the body from the soul, and we encourage the total knowing that comes with sexual relationships. What a religion!

The heritage has beautiful answers to help parents integrate sexual learning and Jewish wisdom to build pride in a tradition that values healthy sexuality. The author takes Judaism’s sex-positive values and applies them to our modern world. The book is written for parents of all ages of children, from infants to high school, to tackle the age-old questions children ask, like: Where do I come from? Why is my body changing? Am I normal? When is it OK to have sex? How do I know when I’m in love? I think I may be gay; what should I do?
