The Jew Spot

By definition a siren is a woman who is considered to be dangerously alluring and seductive. From the beginning the Jewess was the true definition of a siren. The first woman created kicked it off by getting Adam to eat the apple. Adam knew good and well the apple was forbidden, but Eve seductively got him to take a scandalous bite. Let’s give it up for Esther. She was a total babe who knew how to use it. Without her seductive ways, the Jews would have gotten their butts kicked in battle and there would be no Purim to walk around in costumes saying l’chaim all night long. Though some might argue that Vashti is the sexy one, taking a stand and telling the King where he could go and how to get there.

And then there was the matriarch of all matriarchs, Sarah, who let Abraham know it was time for Hagar to get out of her house and we know how the rest of the story goes. These few examples show that Jewish women have always been hot, sexy, seductive, smart, brazen, and filled with chutzpah.

Somewhere along the way, the notion of Jewish women being sexy got derailed and has been replaced with tons of stereotypes. The most famous of the all is the JAP (Jewish American Princess) stereotype therefore meaning that Jewish women are cold, frigid and manipulative, while only caring about money and shopping. Images on the big screen continue to show that Jewish women are stocky and overweight with out of control hair, plus they nag all the time. There is a problem when famous Jewish actresses like Natalie Portman and Sarah Michelle Geller make it a point to steer clear of Jewish women roles for fear of being typecast as, a Jewish woman.

The effect of all this causes more Jewish women to run to get plastic surgery, straighten their hair, and end up having eating disorders to avoid a certain look. It does not help when a Jewess goes on J date only to be met by profiles that say “seeking white Jewish female, who doesn’t look Jewish”. What does that mean, how can a Jewish woman not look Jewish?

When was the last time there was a long conversation about Jewish women being sex kittens or sirens? It’s wonderful that actress Emmanuelle Chiriquí from Entourage, a Jewess from Canada was declared the number most desirable woman for 2010, but quite frankly is doesn’t happen enough.

It’s time to bring sexy back to the Jewish women to embrace their sexuality and sensuality. The Jewess comes in all shapes, sizes, races, ages and we are all luscious and delicious. Being a siren was set up for us since the beginning, it’s time we take the torch and run with it.

This column, Siren, is dedicated to Jewish women everywhere. This is the wake up call to tap into your lusciousness, be sexy and most importantly own it. Every other week we will learn something sexy, luscious, and delicious from a Jewish woman or women whether she is a biblical hottie, teacher, chef, artist, rabbi, adult star or just the Jewish chick next door. Sexy and Jewish is back, think of it as the new black. It’s time that we Jewesses own it, wear it, and live it.
