“Inside Jewrotica’s ‘Sexiest Rabbis of 2013′” [New York Post] By Andrea Peyser on January 20, 2014
“They have the stellar IQs of Mensa members. They’re also compassionate, kind — and smoking hot.They’re rabbis, people whom most of us think of as men with graying side curls, not guys and gals with washboard abs. Jewrotica… thought it was time to honor Jewish leaders not just for their wisdom, but for a quality that the Jerusalem-based site’s co-creator David Abitbol calls ‘badassery.’.”

“Rabbi Susan Silverman, Women of the Wall activist and sister of American comedian Sarah Silverman, has been named one of the world’s ‘sexiest Rabbis,’ by Jewish erotica website Jewrotica.org. ‘Everybody who fights for religious freedom is, as my Nana would say, a hot ticket,’ Silverman told The Jerusalem Post. ‘And those that make care for orphans a rabbinic call-to-arms are serious about Torah. I am happy to be called a Torah-loving-hot-ticket.’ The Jewrotica list is less about conventional definitions of sexy and more placing the spotlight on ‘rabbis who serve to define the very best of what a rabbi can, and should, be.'”

“Upon hearing that he had been named to Jewrotica’s “Sexiest Rabbis of 2013” list, the first thing Rabbi Josh Yuter wondered was whether this would help or hurt his shidduch chances. I’m sexy and I didn’t know it,” Yuter joked after being informed by The Times of Israel that his name was on the list…The Times of Israel spoke to six of the 10 rabbis on the list, and they all understood that they were being noted not necessarily for their physical attributes, but rather for the criteria Jewrotica set out in the nomination process.”

“Hottest Rabbi Contest Feels A Little Lukewarm” [Heeb] By SASS on October 30, 2013
“As someone who understands what it’s like to get called sexy for their Semitic features, I was intrigued by Jewrotica.org’s recent announcement for their “Hottest Rabbi” contest. Sure, we’ve all known a rabbi or two with whom we’d like to fulfill the miztvah of having sex on the Sabbath. But a contest for the “Hottest Rabbi?” We’ve already seen lists of tattooed rabbis and “hip” rabbis, so why the need to seek out the hottest, now? I checked in with Ayo Oppenheimer, the erotica maven behind Jewrotica, and Emma Morris, the site’s managing editor…”

Aaron Sataloff, a rabbinical student, told The Times of Israel, “A rabbi is no longer a hunched over figure with a long beard.” He was careful to note, though, that looks don’t make the rabbi: “You can be pretty to look at, but you have to be thought-provoking, as well.”

“Jewrotica is a barely one year old web site that explores the congruence between sex and Judaism. Jewrotica is now seeking nominations for America’s Sexiest Rabbis. The title may be a tongue in cheek dig at the other lists but the criteria are quite serious!

“Groups from across the Jewish board are represented: the Orthodox Jews, the Jewish LGBT community, the Jewish BDSM community. Though she doesn’t align herself with any of them, Oppenheimer tends to speak of all of them as ‘we’. Still, she says, there is no way to judge kink as a whole. “It’s a system, a tool, and like any tool can be used in either constructive or destructive ways. To give either a blanket endorsement or a blanket recrimination would be foolish of me.”

Undressing the Torah: Jewrotica [Jewish Herald Voice – Houston] By Jackie Schicker on June 27, 2013
“With seasoned and first-time writers alike, Jewrotica has published essays dealing with miscarriage, ritual challenges for transgender men and interfaith dating. Jewrotica does not claim to be a halakhic source on sexuality; its permanent staff does not currently include any rabbis, but rather, educators facilitate conversations on sexuality and relationships in a Jewish way. Oppenheimer will be leading Jewrotica’s first-ever camp workshop during Shabbat, June 29, at Camp Young Judaea in Wimberley, Texas. The program at CYJ this weekend will feature components from Bedside Reading to keep the presentation interesting but will be altered slightly to keep it shomer Shabbat.”

“‘People who are negiah [restriction of touching people of the opposite sex untilmarriage) often grow up in a sheltered environment and have no idea about the nuts and bolts of physical intimacy,’ Solomon said. She said that as a result, several books and websites have been written, and established,to directly engage with religious people and help inform them about their own sexuality.
One such website is Jewrotica.org. ‘That site is bringing the issues together in a mainstream way that is accessible for people with sensibilities by using a series of ratings on the site and there aren’t pictures that are too suggestive,’ Solomon said.”

The Debrief: Making Jewish Sexuality Both Public and Private [Jewish Boston] By Mimi Arbeit on June 11, 2013
“Many pieces on Jewrotica document memories and stories of sexuality that are inextricably interwoven with Jewish heritage, like this piece on a childhood crush’s tzitzit (fringes), this piece about a lesbian encounter on Chanukah or this piece about a couple fumbling in the dark on Shabbat after putting the kids to sleep. Other pieces are not erotic, per se, but deal with relationships and the Jewish lifecycle, like this piece on family and fertility. Read a handful of these stories and you’ll understand why they need to be told and see the powerful conversations they can spark.”

Sarah Tuttle-Singer on Jewrotica [My Jewish Learning – The Keshet Blog] By Melanie Weiss on March 29, 2013
