A news article in the Algemeiner, an independent Jewish news outlet, dated 5 December 2011, reporting a declaration signed by a hundred Orthodox rabbis on same-sex marriage. Quotes the Rabbinical Council of America's own standing declaration directly, that the Torah, which forbids homosexual activity, sanctions only the union of a man and a woman in matrimony, and reports the hundred-rabbi declaration reinforcing that position while stating that the public should not be misled into thinking Orthodox Jewish views on the question can change, are changing, or might someday change, alongside a call for the dignity of every person and against personal abuse.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Independent Jewish journalism quoting the Rabbinical Council of America's own declaration directly, used because rabbis.org, the RCA's own site, blocks automated reading; paired with a compiled reference page for a second, independent characterization. NotesCited for Modern Orthodox Judaism's sexuality-position and its detail.
