<![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><em>Please note that this episode discusses sensitive topics and uses explicit language. Listener discretion is advised.</em></p> <p dir="ltr">Today, the Orthodox Conundrum is releasing a new episode of Intimate Judaism that my Intimate Judaism co-host, Talli Rosenbaum, and I recorded with Yonina Rubinstein, where we explore how parents can approach conversations about sexuality with sensitivity, clarity, and confidence.</p> <p dir="ltr">How can we talk to kids about sex in a way that's honest, healthy, and grounded in Jewish values? Yonina offers practical strategies for different ages and stages, explains the importance of modeling a positive attitude toward intimacy, and discusses how halacha and tradition can serve as a guide—not a barrier—to raising sexually healthy children. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just thinking ahead, this episode offers an essential roadmap for both navigating and redefining "The Talk" in a way that's both open and deeply rooted in Jewish life.</p> <p dir="ltr">This episode is being released simultaneously on <a href="https://intimatejudaism.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Intimate Judaism</a> and the Orthodox Conundrum.</p> <p>Check out Orthodox Conundrum Commentary on Substack and get your free subscription by going to <a href= "https://scottkahn.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://scottkahn.substack.com/</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Please listen to and share this podcast, and let us know what you think on the Orthodox Conundrum Discussion Group on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108</a>).</p> <p dir="ltr">Thanks to all of our Patreon subscribers, who have access to bonus JCH podcasts, merch, and more - we appreciate your help, and hope you really enjoy the extras!
