Post by: YESHA on February 01, 2010, 02:55:55 PM

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this has been posted already. An interview with Arthur and Elaine  of JONAH - to download or listen online - from IsraelNationalRadio is avilable.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Radio/News.aspx/1876
 Audio: The Courage to Change
Arthur Goldberg and Elaine Berk of JONAH talk about their work helping those with same-sex attraction and their families.


Artthur Goldberg and Elaine Berk are the co-founders and co-directors of JONAH, the only international organization dedicated to educating the world-wide Jewish community about the social, cultural and emotional factors which lead to same-sex attractions. JONAH (www.jonahweb.org) also works directly to help individuals struggling with any form of sexual confusion and in particular those with unwanted same-sex sexual attractions (SSA); they also counsel families whose loved ones are involved in such issues.
 
Arthur Goldberg is a Board Certified Professional Counselor and a Certified Relationship Specialist and is the author of a widely acclaimed book entitled Light in the Closet:Torah, Homosexuality, and the Power to Change which has haskamas printed in the book from Rabbis Shmuel Kamenetsky, Rabbi Michel Twerski, Rabbi Zev Leff, and Rabbi Noach Weinberg (z'l').

I have heard about JONAH through their advertising on A7.... I hope that they are able to help all who are confused about their sexual identity and are looking for help in obeying Hashems commandments. I feel sad for the homosexual people who believe that they are right in their perverted activities...

I theorize that Taoist, Buddhist and Yogic methods to transform sexual energy might be a cure for SSA, since it normalizes the sexuality, refines the energy and takes away unnatural pervertedness.
All achievements are obviously dependant on an individuals ability to be honest with oneself and sincere input.

Several books have been written about this explaining the practice.
