Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What does Genesis 1:28 command that relates to sexual relationships?
Model answer
Genesis 1:28 commands humans to be fruitful and multiply. Jews count this as the first mitzvah in the Torah.
- 2
How does Genesis 1:31 shape Jewish attitudes to sexuality?
Model answer
Genesis 1:31 says God saw everything he had made and it was very good. Jews therefore see the body and sexual desire as good gifts, not shameful.
- 3
Why do Jews believe sex belongs within marriage?
Model answer
Jews see sex as a holy act that expresses love and commitment between husband and wife. Sex within marriage also allows children to be born into a secure home.
- 4
What is onah?
Model answer
Onah is the husband's duty in Jewish law to meet his wife's sexual needs. The rule, drawn from Exodus 21:10, shows that sex in marriage is about love, not only children.
- 5
What is the Song of Songs, and how do Jews read it?
Model answer
The Song of Songs is a book of love poetry between a man and a woman. Jews read it both as a celebration of human love and as an allegory of God's love for Israel.
- 6
What are the family purity laws observed by Orthodox couples?
Model answer
Orthodox couples keep niddah, avoiding sexual contact during the wife's period and for seven days afterwards. The wife then immerses in a mikveh before they resume relations.
