Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, spiritual leader of Temple B’nai Yeshurun in New Jersey, joins Yishai Fleisher to talk about fighting back.
A Jewish organization attempting to treat homosexuals seeking to shed their same-sex attraction was found guilty by a New Jersey judge. He ruled against allowing evidence that homosexuality can result from a mental disorder or youthful trauma, arguing that the science had been settled and was no longer under discussion. The case effectively ended there, because if homosexuality is not the result of a disorder, then why would anyone treat it? Rabbi Pruzansky — retired lawyer and blogger at rabbipruzansky.com — addresses the issues of biblical morality, the state of American society, the courts, as well as the bad conduct of some rabbis. listen now
