  The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.

  Rabbi Drew Kaplan, Chaplain at Long Beach Hillels

  I had a great time deejaying at the Jewrotica event at Columbia University. The live readings were hilarious, informative, and in some cases, deeply moving. I know that I, along with many of my AEPi fraternity brothers, loved being able to connect our Judaism and our sexuality in a way that made all of us feel comfortable and welcome. I look forward to being a part of this again in the future!

  Michael Richmond, Columbia University Class of ’13

  Jewrotica is awesome. It expands the mind and for people who were raised with narrow views on sexuality.

  Leora, Young Professional from Washington DC

  At Jewrotica’s Evening of Bedside Readings, students declaimed monologues on sexual encounters that had a Jewish twist. At Columbia/Barnard Hillel, the speakers pushed their own boundaries by performing a range of explicit narratives that challenged how the audience thought of the relationship to Judaism and sex. During the speakers’ preparation, the arguments about which narratives would be appropriate forced students to take a stand and voice their opinion on their own beliefs about Judaism an… Read more

  Engagement Coordinator at Columbia University / Barnard Hillel

  Such an amazing experience! The Sarah Lawrence Jewrotica workshop was more than I could have ever expected – a comfortable, safe, sultry environment where participants clearly felt good about sharing or listening to each other’s intimate experiences and relating them to sexy stories from the Torah. From the moment the workshop began, Ayo had a sweet presence that was kinetic and spread around the room; her storytelling abilities had everyone enraptured and made the conversation topics relata… Read more

  Jewrotica is a great way to ask interesting questions about the interplay between sensuality and Jewish wisdom. Check it out.

  Marcus J. Freed, Educator, Innovator, Author and Yoga Instructor in Los Angeles, CA

  I love the inclusiveness – there is something for everyone, in and out of the Jewish community.

  Delma Catalina, Student Leader at Texas State University

  Jewrotica is inspiring Jews and erotica with holiness and coolness, and is the pride of progressive Judaism. Jewrotica – awesome!
