This picture, whether in a film, on a poster, or in reality, is one of Tel Aviv, the self-proclaimed “Gay Capital of the Middle East.”1 It is the most popular and well-known image of the Israeli LGBT community. The history of LGBT rights in Israel predates that of many Western nations, including the United States. Israeli gay rights ensure that all LGBT citizens receive many of the same rights to their heterosexual counterparts, albeit with less publicized shortfalls in terms of health, edu- cation and welfare laws. The greatest exception and the most significant encroachment of faith onto the legality of homosexuality is in the lack of legal gay marriage in Israel. Alongside their crafting of legal rights, the Israeli government has invested heavily in the coastal city of Tel Aviv, rebranding it as a globally recognized “gay destination.” This effort resulted in a fiscally beneficial gay tourism industry and a more positive international reputation for Israel.

  • Jewish Perspectives on Homosexuality
    Teologia i Moralność, Volumen 15(2020), numer 1(27) doi: 10.14746/tim.2020.27.1.06 ORCID: 0000-0003-1021-2341 WALTER HOMOLKA University of Potsdam Jewish Perspectives on Homosexuality In Judaism, sexual contact outside of a marriage between a man and a woman has traditionally been viewed critically, as have premarital sex, di- vorce, visiting prostitutes, and same-sex activities, especially between men. This negative attitude toward homosexual activity went unquestioned as the classic position of Judaism on this topic until just a few decades ago. This was perhaps due to the assumption that homosexuality was not actually a phenom- enon in Judaism.1 In Israel, Orthodox Jews threaten Gay Pride parades with open violence, and a few years ago ultra-Orthodox demonstrators even held homosexuals re- sponsible for the war in Lebanon. Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, head of the ultra- Orthodox Ashkenazi community Eda Haharedit in Jerusalem, remarked, “We have not achieved our goals in Lebanon, because in the Holy Land obscenity and sexual promiscuity run rampant.”2 Former Israeli chief rabbi Ovadia Josef even polemicized against the “obscene fi lth parade of Amalekites who want to defi le the Holy City.”3 Amalekites are a biblical tribe from the land of Canaan and as such are considered to be enemies of the Israelites. Violence and hate speech are commonplace in Jerusalem. In 2015, sixteen-year-old Shira Banki was stabbed to death by an ultra-Orthodox extremist at Jerusalem’s Gay Pride parade. In 2016, the city’s historic Zion Square was renamed Tolerance Square in memory of this teenage girl, who had volunteered at a WIZO shelter for 1 See Mishnah Kiddushin 4:14; BT Kiddushin 82a; Mishneh Torah, Hilkhot Issurei Biah 22:2.
