Welcome back to The Joy of Text! We’re kicking off Season 4 with a fact or fiction quickfire round: Is sex really a “double mitzvah” on Shabbat? Is daytime sex verboten? And what is up with the “hole in the sheet?” We clear up these and other common myths and misconceptions — or are they? — about sex and Jewish law. Then, we welcome Rabbi Aryeh Klapper of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, who addresses a listener question about whether it would ever be possible to waive the sheva neki’im, the seven clean days a woman is supposed to wait before going to the mikvah. Plus, in The Final Word, some surprising feedback on last season’s episode about adventurous sex. For more on the sources discussed in this episode, see Rabbi Klapper’s article about the possibility of relaxing sheva neki’im.
