The Joy of Text: Where Real Sex Meets Jewish Law

Married to Israel (Isaiah 62:4-5)

Isaiah 62:4-5 No longer will they call you Deserted,     or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah,     and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you,     and your land will be married. As a young man marries a young woman,     so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,     so will your God rejoice over you. Follow Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus!

Responsa Maharsham 3:161 (Rabbi Shalom Mordechai Shvadron, 1835-1911, Ukraine) For five years, a couple had no child. And then, came to them a man who was his relative and slept in their house.
