In this episode of Third Rail Judaism, the discussion delves into the complex topic of homosexuality in Jewish tradition. The conversation begins with an examination of the prohibition against male-to-male sexual relations as stated in the Torah and its context.

Attention is given to the historical and present-day perspectives on same-sex relationships within Jewish communities, highlighting the influence of Christian moral values on Jewish attitudes. The dialogue also touches upon the prevalence of reparative therapy, its controversial nature, and its impact on the mental health of individuals who have undergone such treatments. Finally, the conversation examines the broader topic of inclusivity within Jewish law and the need for a distinctly Jewish approach to understanding and addressing LGBTQ+ issues.

Chosenness in Judaism: Superiority, Responsibility, and Divine Love - With Rabbi Elie Kaunfer
Saison 1 · Épisode 12
lundi 13 avril 2026 • Durée 01:16:58
Chosenness in Judaism: Superiority, Responsibility, and Divine Love (with Rabbi Elie Kaunfer)
Host Blake Cohen interviews Rabbi Elie Kaunfer of the Hadar Institute about the Jewish concept of chosenness and why it is often misconstrued as superiority. Kaunfer distinguishes rabbinic views—chosenness as being selected to enact and model Torah morality—from the Torah’s depiction of God choosing Israel and Abraham without stated merit, framed as an irrational love in Deuteronomy (“I chose you because I love you”). They discuss midrashim about other nations rejecting the Torah, a view that Israel needed Torah more, and questions about leaving the covenant, forgiveness after the Golden Calf, and why suffering and punishment accompany being “singled out,” including a Talmudic account where Rav Safra is silent. Kaunfer connects “kingdom of priests,” holiness as separateness, and “light unto the nations,” highlighting Torah laws like Shabbat and commerce ethics, and notes the Torah blessing’s phrasing ties chosenness to receiving Torah.
