Atzat Nefesh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atzat Nefesh (Hebrew: עצת נפש‎) is an Orthodox Jewish organization based in Israel, that addresses people who are "struggling with problems" of homosexuality, "keeping the covenant" (masturbation), and what the organization calls "sexual obsessions": surfing to pornographic websites, visiting prostitutes and others. Atzat Nefesh operates a hotline and several support groups in Israel, and purports to successfully change the sexual orientation of LGB people.
