dbo:abstract | Same-sex marriage in Judaism has been a subject of debate within Jewish denominations. The traditional view among Jews is to regard same-sex relationships as categorically forbidden by the Torah. This remains the current view of Orthodox Judaism. As the issue of same-sex marriage has broached the forefront of social and political consciousness in the United States over the past few years, it has also become more prevalent in the Jewish community as well. Certain branches of Judaism that had until recently been less open to gay rights have made organizational changes on the issues. The Conservative Movement was the last of Judaism’s liberal streams to adopt a more progressive streamlined approach to dealing with issues related to homosexuality. Even within the insular Orthodox community, there is a small, but growing population of individuals and leaders who are actively engaged in the struggle for same-sex marriage as a secular institution in America. Rabbi Steven Greenberg is an openly gay rabbi who is leading the charge among open-minded and traditionally-observant Jews around the world. Leading rabbis have denounced reparative therapy and have embraced a much more toned-down approach to homosexuality in Judaism. Each year dozens of observant Jewish students "come out of the closet" and many have increasingly remained involved in organized Jewish life. Organizations have been established to assist Jews struggling with the perceived dichotomy between living a traditional Jewish life and being homosexual. Eshel was established by Rabbi Greenberg as a platform to advocate for greater acceptance of LGBT Jews in Orthodox life. Jewish Queer Youth (JQY) also exists as a platform to connect with and advocate for LGBT rights within Jewish communities across the United States. (en) A homossexualidade no judaísmo foi, e ainda é, um importante assunto de debate entre os movimentos religiosos judaicos. Os costumes tradicionais dessa mesma religião, veem os relacionamentos entre pessoas do mesmo sexo como categoricamente proibidos pela Torá. Esta continua a ser a visão atual do judaísmo ortodoxo, mas não a do judaísmo reconstrucionista, do judaísmo reformista ou do judaísmo conservador, que anularam sua neutralidade sobre o assunto a partir de 2006. Como no últimos tempos a homossexualidade se tornou um assunto inquietante e de importante influência social, também se tornou mais prevalente na comunidade judaica. Certos ramos do judaísmo que até recentemente eram menos abertos aos direitos dos homossexuais fizeram mudanças organizacionais sobre a questão; o judaísmo conservador foi o último dos movimentos judaicos considerado do fluxo liberal a adotar uma abordagem mais progressiva e simplificada para lidar com questões relacionadas à homossexualidade. Até mesmo dentro da comunidade ortodoxa, existe uma pequena porém crescente população de indivíduos e líderes religiosos que ativamente engajam de forma positiva o assunto. A cada ano, centenas de estudantes judeus praticantes assumem sua homossexualidade e muitos continuam cada vez mais envolvidos na vida judaica liberal. Nos últimos anos organizações sociais foram criadas para auxiliar judeus a conviverem em uma sociedade judaica ortodoxa tradicional e serem homossexuais ao mesmo tempo. O Jewish Queer Youth (JQY), por exemplo, é uma instituição estadunidense que conecta a comunidade LGBT com a comunidade judaica nos Estados Unidos. (pt) |
