[RBS] yes, this really happens in the religious world

[Phil'n'Chanie Rosenfelder]

This week, there was an excellent article in Nashim (Makor Rishon
newspaper's women's magazine) about how some frum parents deal with a child
"coming out of the closet"

It is not an easy issue to deal with, and i think that the point of
noticing a child being in conflict as early as possible is relevant for
that and many other challenges children face alone because they don't know
if or how to discuss it with others.

Unlike ten or forty years ago, the religious world is finally waking up to
the need to accept that people do have emotional challenges, including
 same-sex attraction, and there are people who can help
There is Atzat haNefesh, and the organization hat sent out the  email below

Please share this with all yrou lists, you never know whom you might be
helping

Some people are able to resolve inner conflict by embracing a gay
lifestyle. But for others, deeply-held values just don't let that
happen.

Journey into Manhood, offered by People Can Change, offers a path
towards resolution and peace. Replace intense longing with brotherly
love. Replace lust with self respect and absolute self acceptance.

Journey into Manhood is set to be held in Israel this October 1-3. It's
accessible to both English and Hebrew speakers. Food will be kosher
lamehadrin.

Deadline to register is Friday, August 30.
