Near the beginning of Genesis, it says that we are all made b&#039;zelem Elohim - in the image of God.
No matter what else it might say in the Torah, we would do well to remember that.
ALL of us are made in the image of God, not just some of us.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So what happens when someone and his mother or sister are madly in love with each other?
Will these rabbis be happy to perform commitment ceremonies as an affirmation of the sacredness of loving, committed relationships between Jewish couples? 

Will the Board deems it important to give all Jewish couples the opportunity to demonstrate their lifelong commitment to one another in a Jewish way and in a Jewish context?

&quot;We have arrived at our position on marriage equality and determined to officiate at same sex commitment ceremonies following careful consideration of Jewish sources&quot;

Can we be informed about which sources brought them to this position?
Obviously it wasn&#039;t the Torah which clearly states that male homosexuality is &quot;To&#039;evah&quot; = abomination

And - lehavdil - the Koran or the Christian version of the bible -= old and new testaments don&#039;t view it any more sympathetically.

So really, what are these rabbis going on about??]]></description>
