I came to college to be educated. I didn't come because it was "the thing to do" or because my parents had forced me, but because I wanted a true and well-rounded education. The kind a young nineteen-year-old with a full-time job dreams about: an education that broadens horizons and leaves one with a feeling of accomplishment, and not just on a social level.

Jumping to conclusions is not a new problem, nor is it endemic to the Jewish community. We all make judgments of others, many of which are based on outward appearances. However, awareness is the key to avoiding the mistake of making incorrect assumptions.

What is the Jewish perspective on sexuality? More importantly, how is one to learn about it? This topic is rarely discussed, either because people do not feel comfortable with it, do not see it as being appropriate, or believe that one ought only to learn about it once one is actually engaged.

Recently, The Observer took a poll of Yeshiva College (YC) and Stern College for Women (SCW) students regarding sexual education. The questions asked were: 1) What type of high school did you attend (public or private, all girls vs. co-ed?) 2) Did you have a sex-ed class in high school or earlier? Did it incorporate aspects of the Jewish point of view on sexuality? Alternatively, did you have a Jewish hashkafic class on sexuality without discussion of technicalities? 3) What is your a) first and b) main source of knowledge about sexuality: Internet, Media, Parents, Friends, School, Other? 4) Are you satisfied with your current knowledge of sexuality in a) the technical sense and b) the Jewish point of view?
While the majority of respondents to the poll requested anonymity, this does not invalidate their positions or the truth of their responses.
