Physical Contacts topic review

Greetings topic review

Unfortunately in some sectors of Klal Yisrael, the term shomer negiah is used as if it’s a custom or optional stringency. In reality, however, this notion has absolutely no basis in halachah. Physical contact between genders violates a severe prohibition. If contact is made with even the slightest bit of pleasure, it is deemed abizrayhu d’giluy arayos, for which one must give up their life rather than transgress. Every Jew — without exception — must abide by these halachos.

Kindly partner w Doeihu to spread these halachot.
