It seems that perhaps uke/nage should be viewed beyond gender.
Although you have a prohibition against touching women pre-marriage, perhaps you should see beyond the gender of your uke/nage. I have no practical examples for you. Only opinion. The dojo is a sacred space just as a Temple or Church is.
With the like prohibitions, you should also be concerned about bowing to the Kaimza, the altar at the head of the dojo under O-Sensei's portrait as violation of the Mosaic Covenant Respecting graven images and gods before YHWH seeing that the Kamiza Respects the Japanese notion of the Kami, the Deity which watches over "us".
But people should respect your religiosity and you should not have to made to practice with women if that makes you uncomfortable/violates Judaic Law.
Cheers!
