Judaism is reasonable

Judaism is forthcoming on moral issues, never attempting to change the human mentality. Israeli debate about legalizing prostitution is ridiculous: patriarch Judah used Tamar’s services, taking her for a prostitute. The Torah carefully prohibits Jews to give out their daughters for prostitution, but to have foreign prostitutes. Jews are barred from running after foreign women, lest they turn Jews away from Judaism, but there is no question of running after a prostitute: they need not be courted
