RADIO INTERVIEWS: The Inner Struggles of Gay Orthodox Jews, Rabbis on Homosexuality, and More

The Inner Struggles of Gay Orthodox Jews, Rabbis on Homosexuality, and More

• The stories of four gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews, struggling to live the 'Torah lifestyle' in a faith that considers homosexuality a sin.
• In Orthodox Judaism, to be both actively gay and "frum," or observant, is a theological taboo. Producer Jon Kalish spoke to four Orthodox men and women who are trying to merge their two identities.
• It all started with those two lines in Leviticus - a core text of Judaism. Two rabbis from opposite ends of the theological spectrum explain homosexuality in Jewish law.
