• Testimonials

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

  Shimon Weiss, Wine Maker in Agua Dolce, CA

  Jewrotica is awesome. It expands the mind and for people who were raised with narrow views on sexuality. Whether you are Jewish or not, or in different sects of Judaism like Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, no matter what your background or where you’re from, Jewrotica gets you to see Judaism and how it relates to sexuality in new ways. I really appreciate Ayo being here and helping us learn different ways to connect with our sexuality.

  Vanessa Steiner, Young Professional in Southern California

  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

  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

  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

  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

  I stepped out of my comfort zone to be a part of this. I was glad to open up the topic of sexuality in my community. We are trying to build a safe space to talk about sex. The result I am most happy about coming from this event is that hopefully now my friends know they can come and talk to me, that I can be their ‘safe space’.

  Barnard College Student, Presenter at the Columbia University Kickoff Event

  The Jewrotica event “Evening of Jewrotica: Bedside Reading” was awesome. As Master of Confessions, I got to read the deepest, darkest secrets of people in the room out loud… It was scintillating, titillating, and – yes – even educational!

  Sam S., Young Professional in the Austin Area

  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

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