Dear Jewrotica – A Note From Jewrotica Editor Ayo Oppenheimer

By editor on October 25, 2012

Darling readers,

Can you believe that it’s been two weeks since the official launch of Jewrotica?! Did you see our shout-outs on Freaknomics, Jezebel and Gothamist? What do y’all think?

If you have what to say, make sure to join the conversation on our Facebook page and share your thoughts on individual pieces right here on the Jewrotica website. We recently added a new anonymous commenting feature, so – even if you’re too shy to speak up through your Facebook account – we still got your back!

Over the past couples of weeks, we have started receiving requests from guys and girls alike for an “Ask Jewrotica” advice column. Well, you asked and we listened. After a lot of excitement and a lively conversation with my remarkable team, I am pleased to announce the debut of Dear Jewrotica!

This is your opportunity to ask questions about anything related to relationships, romance, sex, sexuality and Judaism. But let’s just get this out of the way right now – there are no holes in the sheet when we have sex!

However, if you find yourself wondering…

I’ve been dating a girl for three weeks, and she just invited me to her family’s house for Shabbat. What does that mean?
My friend is looking into artificial insemination as a single woman. What are the halachic ramifications of this?
JDate, SawYouAtSinai, Frumster, Jewcier, JSingles, SuperTova and, well, we’ll just sneak in OkCupid. Does anyone actually know what the differences are between all these Jewish dating sites?! And which one should I use?

…then send us your question today or email the team directly at advice@jewrotica.org The next generation of Dr. Ruths – with varied backgrounds and a little extra bite – are here to tackle your questions!

Light and Love,

Founder and editor of Jewrotica, Ayo spent the past two years full-time RVing North America with her Jewish educational film program. Ayo alternates between intensely pursuing fun new experiences and equally intensely trying to do good by people. She would love to hear from you.

Testimonials

I’m into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.

Josh Karp, Artist and Staff at Jewlicious

You may not tell your mom that you’re going to a live Jewrotica reading (or whatever clever name you will dub these events) but you will tell your friends. However, both would be jealous if they find out that they missed it. I think it will only be a matter of time before Jewrotica helps us reclaim the term “Dirty Jew” the way rap music has done for “The ‘N’ Word.” I know I am now proud to be a Dirty Jew!

Ozzy Zion Nelson, Former Hillel JCSC Fellow and Quizmaster at Geeks Who Drink

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

Learning about sex and what’s right and wrong when it comes to sex from a Biblical standpoint was an eye opening experience. I completely enjoyed it and think something like this could be a very cool thing to bring to even high school aged Jewish youth groups.

Hannah S., A Student at SUNY Purchase

I’m Heshy Fried from Frum Satire and I am very, very frum. And I completely support Jewrotica – it’s doing a service to the frum community. We need some sort of kosher sexual education. Jewrotica even has a system that allows frum filters to filter out certain things to make it PG for us. It’s mamish Torah. It’s like The Little Midrash Says for sex.

Heshy Fried, Founder of Frum Satire

Jewrotica was everything I had dreamed of and more: sexy attendees, tantalizing confessions, and well-written literature to boot! More importantly, it empowers us Jews to reach inside and own our sexy selves and heritage!

Erin L., University of Texas at Austin Social Work Graduate Student

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 something that the community has needed for a long time so that people can actually learn, express and share and have good relationships without having to stumble through life. Check out the site and learn something. Have fun!

Josh Kaplan, Jewish Community Organizer in Orange County, CA

Bedside Reading with Jewrotica was funny, sexy, and hot all at once. The readings were honest about all kinds of sexuality, but the highlight of the evening was definitely the confessions, written by audience participants. Nobody knew who wrote them, and most were tell-alls that would make your bubbe blush. Unless your bubbe was very, very cool. Then maybe she’d make YOU blush!

Dan Young, Architect from Flagstaff AZ and Jewish Community Leader in Austin TX

Jewrotica rocks. It’s funny, it’s informative, it’s sexy, it’s interesting. Check it out!
