    Video Shiur: A Rabbi's Different Approach To Homosexuality | Rav Dror
    Thursday June 9th 2016

    Rav Dror addresses a moral question that is very relevant to our times.
    -A Student Asks
    Regarding the recent gay pride parade in Tel- Aviv, Israel. It seems that we are going down the same path as the generation of the flood.
    There were 200,000 people marching in unity to show support for people openly involved in homosexuality, what the torah (bible) calls a sin.
    Not just any sin but one that God calls an abomination.
    How are we supposed to react to these disturbing events, and how do we act towards the people involved in them?
    Rav Dror answers with a message of love and understanding, while still maintaining our commitment to what we know is Hashem's (God's) will.
