Homosexuality is prohibited and is punishable by "karet" (severance).[1]

The prohibition of homosexuality

  1. A man may not lie sexually with another man. The punishment for doing so is karet and HaShem considers the act to be a "to'eva" (abomination).[2]
  2. Sexual contact with another man is forbidden through the prohibition of arousing sexual thoughts.[3]
