Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about Holy Intimacy — the bestselling guide to Jewish married life.
How do I get the Hebrew edition?
The Hebrew edition (אינטימיות מקודשת) is available for purchase online. At checkout you can choose home delivery anywhere in Israel, pickup at a distribution point near you (available nationwide), or free pickup from a small number of community branches.
How will I know when my order is on its way?
As soon as your order is on its way — whether by home delivery or to your chosen pickup point — you’ll receive an email with tracking details, and we’ll let you know again when it’s ready for collection.
Is the book available in other languages?
Yes! The book is available in English and French. The original English edition — Holy Intimacy: The Heart of Jewish Marriage — and the French edition are both available on Amazon with worldwide shipping.
Is this a book of Halacha (Jewish law)?
No. Holy Intimacy provides the emotional and spiritual ‘why’ behind the laws of family purity and married life, so you can fulfill Halacha with joy and genuine connection rather than obligation alone.
Who is this book for?
Every Jewish woman. From a bride just beginning her journey to a woman married for decades who wants to refresh, deepen, and reconnect. The book speaks to women of all backgrounds and life stages with sensitivity and wisdom.
Is the language appropriate and respectful?
Absolutely. The book combines respectful, clean language with precise professional and halachic terminology. The guiding principle: modesty is not ignorance. Every explanation is direct and clear — no vague euphemisms — while maintaining complete dignity.
Who is this book for?
For every woman who wants to deepen her marital connection and feel at ease in the intimate space — regardless of community or life stage, from kallahs just starting out to women married for many years. The book draws from Chassidic sources and is presented in accessible language suited to all.
What makes this book different from other Jewish marriage books?
Most books on this topic focus on ‘what is permitted and what is forbidden.’ Holy Intimacy goes deeper — it teaches the hashkafah (worldview), the emotional dimension, and the spiritual connection behind the laws, so you can fulfill them with joy and deep understanding, not just obligation.
How many pages is the book?
The book contains over 400 pages of rich content — Torah, Halacha, Chassidut, psychology, personal stories, and practical guidance.
Can I buy the book as a gift?
Absolutely! The book makes a perfect gift for a bride, a close friend, a daughter, or any Jewish woman. You can order it and ship it directly to the recipient, or choose a pickup location convenient for her.
Who translated the book into Hebrew?
Rabbi Amichya Even Yisrael — son of the legendary Rabbi Adin Even Yisrael (Steinsaltz) and chief editor at the Steinsaltz Center. The translation preserves every nuance of the original.
Is the book suitable for men too?
The book was written primarily for women.
