I don't see any wisdom in this kind of teaching. I see a bisexual Rabbi who is trying to suppress his feelings because he doesn't want to brake Torah. Feeling attracted to another man is a abomination in the eyes of the most High.

@@ANewBeggining-so1wp I afree% shameful this rabbi is taking this position on this matter

And then some. Let's be honest, he's simply wrong. Majority of men have a biologically (not socially) programmed intense disgust reaction to the same sex in any even slightly sexual context. That's just a fact. If Manis Friedman doesn't, it says nothing about all men.

christian?

@@rainisgreen7870 Will it change what Moses knew if he was?

He's simply wrong on this. It's easy to empirically test too. Go to a primitive tribe that has no concept of sex at all. There's several of those. Show their men picture or video of gay sex and straight sex. Record the reactions. You'll get about 80% straight, with strong disgust reaction to same sex sex, then some indifferent, and finally some with reverse interest (aversion to straight sex). That's it, there goes your theory of "all humans are bi" as well as claims it's all culturally programmed.

ominous :o I sure hope this isn't referencing aramgeddon hit movie 1998!!

It is definitely a valid question, for it does help us feel better about the mitzvot we do, and sins we avoid, when we actually understand at least something behind it for our little human brains. And so, I definitely support you in asking orthodox Rabbis for the reasons of things, but, as somebody who is not a Rabbi myself I must hesitate to assume, or agree with, any reasons we come up with on our own as to "why" G-d said what He said. If you are single, and very much gay (i.e. not bi, as I consider myself) I understand the challenge as I do believe you're not making this up in any way. As far as I understand it Hashem clearly wants biological genetic males to marry *_only_* biological genetic females, and so, as long as you are born male and your future wife is born female, her personality and looks does not have to be feminine at all in order for you to have a permissible love life. Just to be clear, I do not support any trans people harming themselves or getting any surgeries or taking any meds that negatively affect the healthy functions of the body that Hashem created them naturally in. We should all appreciate how we were created, and our permitted spouses should help us feel thankful to Him for it too, obviously. There are other labels for being attracted to certain personalities as opposed to certain looks of the genders. It also is a factor if you feel like you need a certain activity, as opposed to just any activity with somebody you fell in love with. If you need the gay act, then there is an added challenge I gather. But if it just is a need for any sexual activity with your love interest, then we just need to know how to get you and your true "zivug" to fall in love with each other. But whatever you do, being honest with ourselves definitely sounds to me to be an important step in getting to where I hope you will get one day (i.e. a healthy permitted happy fulfilling meaningful marriage)!

I hesitate to agree with your assumption, for being with one's wife during permitted times *_is actually a mitzvah, even if no children can_* *_possibly come from the encounter,_* e.g. if she is already pregnant, etc... In fact, I just read that it is very good for the baby during the last six months of pregnancy, for both to be intimate together and bond having relations etc.... Yet, certainly, this is not causing any additional child at that time. And we see that it is still G-ds wish, nonetheless! Also, the mitzvah to please ones wife, stands completely on its own, regardless of whether anything comes out of the act 9 months later!

You need to understand that people are ashamed and hung up about sex so they will tell it different than it is. Even the ones who act tough. If they say they never chose for it chances are that they actually had some feelings of lust to the same sex at some point but are ashamed to talk about it. Same with your case, there could be a plethora of possible reasons for why you are the way you are. Maybe you are hung up as well. Maybe something got in to your thoughts at childhood which made you view yourself in a certain way. Maybe you are just less inclined to the opposite sex by nature. The truth is gender dysphoria and homosexuality is a complex topic which we haven't figured out yet. But i'm having a strong hunch that it's a psychological conundrum. As is much to do with sexuality. Peace to you.

@@dudefrombelgium everything has a psychological basis of that I am sure. Gender issues have no relation to my sexuality. I am very much male so the two communities though often joined in people’s minds aren’t the same. I am too old to have shame about sexuality. You’re right though many people do. I think the bottom line is that some people don’t fit the standard in this regard. We wouldn’t read a test that condemned Down syndrome people and condemned them for being stoned and given it very much thought about its validity. To me when I read that part of the Torah that is what it’s like.

@@michaeltoney2277 Yes I know, gender identity and sexual orientation are two separate things. The first being about how you feel about yourself in relation to the two genders, and the second being which gender(s) attracts you. And they don't necessarily have any effect on, or relation to, each other. I used to wonder though: do healthy straight men and women (who don't have any gender identity issues) actually feel like the gender that they are? Is there even any specific feeling of being a man or a woman anyways? Or is it simply that they have the awareness that they are what they are, and done? For if there is anyways no natural "feeling-of-being-a-man" for men, and likewise for women, then how can there even be such a topic as "gender-identity" to start with? Like, sure, it might be a fun question to think about: "if you could pick a gender which one do you feel you would rather be and enjoy playing more?" but we all know how G-d made us, at the end of the day, and He clearly felt that the one He picked out for us was the right choice for what we need to accomplish in this world and for the, hopefully wonderful, life that He wishes to give us. And besides, even though there are certain halachic rules about what we cannot imitate of the opposite sex, I personally never understood why there has to be any other rules beyond that on our personality. If somebody wants to act in ways that have typically been associated more with females, or more with males, or do certain jobs or chores that make them feel good and fulfilled and nurturing or whatever it is, I'd say be my guest! Who can even make a case to stop a person from doing so? Obviously, as you stated, your "gender-identity" is in fact line with the body that He placed you in, but if somebody else would say that they don't feel like it, I would want to get to the root of it and suggest that they may totally do all those things they want anyways regardless of their body's biological sex. Leave everything as it is! And this way they should not feel like they are suffering in any way. Not every activity has to have a gender label slapped on it, you know. Men can be very nurturing and take care of babies in many ways, without being a woman, and women can do masculine things if it fits their personality and makes them happy, and nobody has to be concerned about changing anything of how G-d made them in any way whatsoever, not in 1) their unique personality and not in 2) their looks and body that He gave each and every one of us. That was my feelings on the topic of gender identity, but I'm sure it's possible that I'm missing something.

Talmud teaches of at least six genders and how they are to couple.

@@TheLifescasualty I suppose the Ten Commandments mean nothing.

​@@TheLifescasualtythey are not genders by modern terms. Merely abnormalities within the parameters of male and female.

That’s the black and white, inhuman way of thinking about it. No one makes a choice about who they are. I’m gender nonconforming and also gay which is very layered. It’s not a choice or something I could just drop. And if I did lie to myself and dressed in a costume, I would be doing something wrong by lying to a woman and living a fake and inauthentic life. I don’t think someone else deserves to suffer as well. Authenticity is more important

Unfortunately he's totally wrong on this. Him being bi doesn't mean everyone is the same.

There are many things in the world that I think are totally awesome. A beautiful sunset, a strong racehorse, adorable kittens, beautiful tropical fish, well made jewelry, tasty dinners, and men and women who are admirable for many reasons. There's only one individual member of one specific group of living beings that I have any interest in being physically intimate with. At least for me, a non-desire for sxx with anyone or anything is the norm, not the exception.

I can understand why men as well as women look at men in that way.. just be better if they stopped lying to women about it, that's the problem I have... All men should come with a warning sign in capital letters... At least Mr Friedman is honest.

Says a woman! God, this is truly funny! No, all men are not born bi, most men are born with genetically programmed aversion to any, even slightly sexual thought about the same sex. And then there's some deviations, bi and gay. It has nothing to do with man's body without sexual context. Man's body can be very beautiful just like all animals, from both sexes, just like all Creation. Those are two completely different issues hopelessly mixed up here.

Well said 💯 Plus the campaign of pushing it into daycares & primary schools.

The LGBT are now majority over hedrisexuals. They pudh their agenda so far, even tonour 5 yrs olds😢. They have everything they want and we pay taxes for most services. We don't ask them to change. They want us to go their way.😢

Being LGBT is not something someone chooses. People do choose how they live their lives. It may be helpful to also remember that for LGBT people it isn't just about sex, as it is not about sex for straight folk. People seek companionship, emotional and spiritual connection.

I’d love to hear how being gay has privilage. In a world where everything falls into the laps of straight people even down to the milestones of your life conforming to wider society. I think you have it backwards it’s a great privilege to live out a life typically in a social human society. Not conforming is a great curse, whether by your choice or not. We are social beings The reality is that there are a subset of people who hate us in some countries they throw us off rooftops. So society does need to have some rules to protect us from the violence of the past. Though admittedly things are getting out of hand with every feeling needing safe space these days. That is mostly a result of growing up in a generation that actually has never suffered.

Wait, so gay people are the communists and upper class or the straight people?

Interesting. I was expecting a big point at the end of Rabbi's statement, but there was just a "so be it." I'm straight, but as I don't date now, I wouldn't suddenly get randy in jail. Sex is just scratching an itch. If I'm not thirsty, I don't drink. I also feel rage, but I haven't hurt anyone from rage yet.

@@aestroai8012 low testosterone. Maybe intersex, a woman, or an omega male

As a man I would estimate the percentage among men is well over 50%, more like 70-80% I'd estimate. I've always suspected women are more fuzzy about their sexual preferences. It makes sense too, evolution didn't have to be as strict in filtering out deviations with the sex that's not playing the active, initiating role -- it doesn't result in immediate end of the species. Those species that reversed the trend are already no longer with us.

@@vmasing1965 not me or one third of other women either. Statistically one third of women are not wired for anything but vanilla heterosexual activities and won't even like the activities lesbians do if performed by a man of their preference.

@@lc9902 Doing the gay men sin (anal sex between two males) is apparently the sin. But I don't think there is any sin in simply existing with an orientation. Of course we all want a permitted marriage that is fulfilling in every way, which may of course be more of a challenge for somebody who is ONLY attracted to same sex, i.e. "gay". I see no reason not to treat a gay man like anybody else, but that doesn't mean to support anybody doing the sin. *_"Love the sinner, not the sin",_* *_"hate sin, not the sinner",_* *especially if they never even did it,* *and also plan to never do so too!*

We Jews do not interpret the story of Sodom and Gomorrah as having anything to do with homosexuality.

@@analysisonlight605 It wasnt about homosexuality it was about evil. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked and vile people so much so that when G-d gave them a chance by sending two angels who pretended being humans with Abraham they tried to rape and kill the angels. In the story Sodom and Gomorrah commited the sin of inhospitality and evil against their neighbors so much so that when G-d sent his angels to redeem them they tried to murder and hurt them instead of providing for them and treating them with kindness. So since the angels did not find 10 righteous people G-d told them to destroy the cities.

@@robertsilver8924 tell us what the reason is.

This is his way of coming out, what a disgrace.

Nope, it's only his own personal experience and doesn't apply to men in general. Quite the opposite, most men are definitely not bi.

It is forbiden, like is forbiden to desire married woman, or adultery.

@@sofiayudelzon4830 exactly one of the mitzvot which explicitly said which type of desire is a sin. The other desires are never explicitly called out, only the act upon them.

Let me guess, you're a lesbian, first and foremost. But you're also Jewish, and so you thought maybe, just maybe I could forgive the faith of my fathers and hear a word or two more? How generous of you.

He's right, every human is inclined to respond to pleasure. So if you were conditioned to or predisposed to the same sex for whatever external reason, then the body and mind will respond to it. Torah never said that human nature and impulses are good, that's why god brought down the Torah to submit us to a better way, where we are not adulterous or perverted. Notice how everything in Torah sets an example by showing you the most problematic base primal instincts of people and then obliging you to fight against them for the better.

Feels good doesn't make it right. Is it ok for a father to have sex with his 5 year old daughter because he finds pleasure in this?

I think his point is not that every person is bi sexual but that every person could be bi sexual and that this inclination is normal. That being said, G-d has forbidden mankind to be sexually intimate with the same sex. At the end of the day humankind's addiction to pleasure is the norm. That form of pleasure will take various forms depending on the individual. Our choice to curb our pleasures as is outlined by the word of G-d becomes the determining factor of whether we are choosing to be G-d conscious and subsequently make a home for G-d in our lives or not.

@@parishadnz.6048 Is it really too hard to look up what is bi if you don't know it?

No. He was saying that human beings are created with the desire for pleasure and people can find pleasure in anything. The drive for pleasure is normal. But God puts limitations. The only question is if we are going to follow his limitations to serve him, or will just serve ourselves? A person who has desires that aren't in line with God's will is in the spectrum of normal, but he can rise above that and serve God. It's a choice. Free will.
