recent lecture at Beth
Tzedec Synagogue in To-
ronto, said that while
Jewish law does not
explicitly prohibit a man
and a woman from living
together, the sexual code
endorsed in the Book of
Leviticus specifically for-
bids a man to allow his
daughter to become in-
volved in a promiscuous re-
lationship. He said that
while the text refers to "har-
lotry," it may be inferred
that all manner of promis-
cuity is forbidden, including
cohabitation without mar-
riage.
Feldman also suggested
that _ the commandment
which requires children to
honor their fathers and
their mothers may be in-
voked to dissuade couples
from proceeding with plans
to live together, without
marriage, on grounds such
an act constitutes disrespect
for parents. He stressed that
to dishonor one's parents is
a major violation of Jewish
law.
Feldman noted that
often the participants in
such live-in ar-
rangements reject the
religious framework' of
the issue. They do not
recognize the validity of
commitment to a partner
in the way the concept
has been accepted in tra-
ditional Jewish mar-
riages, he said.
Turning to birth control,
Feldman said that his re-

• • •

view of the current Jewish
views on the issue indicated
that the use of the pill is re-
ceiving ever-greater sanc-
tion even among right-wing
Jewish groups. He said this
stance was because use of
such methods can be inter-
preted not as birth preven-
tion but rather as facilita-
tion of birth at healthy
intervals.
He-also asserted that re-
cent medical discoveries in
the test tube field,
popularized by the term

"test tube babies," should be
welcomed by Judaism be-
cause "it is incumbent on
man to remedy those defects
in nature which may cause
s'brrow."
Feldman said helping
barren women conceive
through the use of drugs or
other techniques, such- as
invitro fertilization, should
be welcomed by Jews. He
took a careful position on
the issue of abortion, declar-
ing he recognized its neces-
sity in cases where carrying

a pregnancy to term may
place the mother's life in
danger but he avoided any
general endorsement of
abortion.
