Having sex by a Torah. What’s the problem? Why is someone going “to die” if they have sex in front of a torah scroll? Especially when we know that Torah cannot contract tumah (uncleanliness)?
The Torah is not offended by sex. It does not get desecrated – but what about us? What does it say about us that we can have sex infront of the Torah – symbol of that which is most dear to us? How could we really be respecting our partner if we were willing to have sex while something so dear was exposed before us? Is it respectful to have sex with someone when the possibility of distraction is so clearly at hand? Is it possible this is a lesson in intention? In mindfulness?
May we always love the one we are with. And be with the one we love. And may Torah fill our lives, but not our bedrooms.
