The exhibition played with the differing perceptions of sexuality in Judaism. Modern and contemporary art, traditional artifacts, film, and new media illustrated a range of Jewish positions that have been discussed for centuries in the canon of rabbinic literature. From the central importance of marriage and procreation, via desire, taboos, and the questioning of social norms, to the eroticism of spirituality, the exhibition presented the whole spectrum of Jewish attitudes and showed that traditional debates are highly relevant to present-day Jewish positions on sexuality.
