Midrash1-5 The Basic Torah Spiritual Principles as taught by our Sages:
Session 3 – “Shalom” does not translate only to Peace but in reality refers to the process whereby opposite forces are able to cooperate and thereby create a greater sense of Wholeness in the Universe. Rabbi Akiva argued for a Torah which is inclusive of sexuality. He will also teach that Shechinah is present when lovemaking takes place within an attitude of mutual reverence and holiness.
