It seems like a cruel man made rule drawing on a misinterpretation of a key verse. Even the Shulhan Aruch, which frankly features extremist language condemning masturbation as akin to murder, doesn’t cite the origin of this damning prohibition.

>”Unfortunately, we have a lot of people in the community blaming the Jewish community for what’s happening in Israel, Palestine… that’s not correct.”

>”You want to hate [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu? Hate Netanyahu, but what have the Jewish people done to you? The whole antisemitism thing has got be wound back,” Tsolakis told the newspaper.
