This episode was originally released as part of our new miniseries, Intimacy and Sexuality for Emerging Adults, Powered by Intimate Judaism.

(71) Divorce With Dignity
As we observe the days of mourning before Tisha B'Av, we reflect on another profound experience of grief: the ending of a marriage. Divorce has its own mourning process, yet even when a marriage must end, it can end with dignity, compassion, and integrity. Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn speak with mediator and to'enet rabbanit Shoshie Goldstein about healthy co-parenting, navigating divorce in the Orthodox community, and finding a path toward healing.

(69) Between Halacha and Reality: Addressing Masturbation and Pornography with Orthodox Teenage Boys
How should Orthodox educators address masturbation with teenage boys—and what happens when the message is only about prohibition?

(68) Don't Look, Don't Tell
When observing the laws pertaining to niddah, women are often taught not to look at their bodily discharges, to avoid becoming niddah. With our guests Lisa Septimus and Malka Chana Amichai, we explore the halachic logic behind "don't look," the tension it creates with body awareness, and whether halacha undermines or advances body literacy.

(67) "Just Be Normal": Navigating conflicts between desire, intimacy, identity and Jewish law (an Intimate Judaism Q&A)
In this Q&A episode of Intimate Judaism, we respond to honest questions about desire, restraint, identity, mental health, and intimacy within Jewish life. We touch on topics including bisexuality, workplace boundaries, what is permitted within marital intimacy, postpartum depression and low desire, shmirat einayim, and even whether leaving the lights on matters. Throughout, we focus on integrating emotional well-being with halachic integrity, rather than shame or self-erasure.
