The Jew Spot

Succulent Nosh

2010-04-27T16:45:00.003-04:00

So far every woman I have interviewed has mentioned food when asked what hits her Jew spot. That is not surprising since food is a very sensual and sexy experience; of course it is constantly on a siren’s mind. Not to mention that food is a big part of the Jewish culture. We are always ready to get our grub on to celebrate holidays, the more food the merrier. Since we seem to love food, it is

What Comes First?

2010-02-10T13:01:00.002-05:00

By Yocheved Sidof, Originally posted at Alefnext.com. What comes first, the chicken or the egg? What about love or sex? In my life, Love came first; or so I thought… I grew up in a tightly knit Chassidic community in the Midwest, the first-born child of Iranian immigrants. I was raised with a lot of rules. Some were religiously influenced and others were cultural, but one of the big rules – NO

The Aristocrat in America vs. Judaism.

2010-02-10T12:47:00.006-05:00

Bible Raps' Matt Bar Writes in:In America we have one outlaw: the Aristocrat. And much has been gained by the dissolution of this class. Class it no longer something you are born into, lock in step, stock and trade. Rather, in America, class is that which is to be revealed; always a potential. And we strive to see each man clothed not in his family crest but rather in the garbs of his spirit's

SIREN: An Introduction

2010-01-28T10:07:00.010-05:00

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

Alice Schiller who grew up in an Orthodox home, married the man who started the famous Pussycat Dolls burlesque house in Los Angeles. She became an icon of sorts in the 60's and 70's. The New York Times wrote a lovely piece about her.

Punk Torah

2009-12-15T11:00:00.003-05:00

Our interview with Punk Torah's Patrick A is featured at BustedHalo.com. Patrick A, founder of Punk Torah, is fascinating because he is totally rebellious about loving G-d, meaning he does, a lot, and isn't afraid to talk about it or scream his head off on stage shouting Torah. That kind of spirituality gets us going here at The Jew Spot. Why are Jews so scared to talk about the All Mighty? We

DETAILS discovers Jewish women

In this month's issue of Details magazine, there is an article titled "The Rise of the Hot Jewish girl." Subtitle: Why American men are lusting after women of the Tribe. Read here.They then go on to discuss women such as Pornstar Joanna Angel and the fetish over religious women breaking religion, comparing it to the Catholic school girl fantasy. While, OK, I get it, that probably wouldn't be my

Stereo Sinai introduces us to... "Biblegum Pop"

2009-11-06T11:54:00.021-05:00

I first saw Stereo Sinai at a conference where they strummed their guitars over a campfire, as if in love and only performing for the occasion. And then they sang, and I realized this is more than a campfire band and more than just any duo. Stereo Sinai was something rare. The couple, with two very different styles, have produced a sound I’ve never experienced before yet can’t get enough of. They

'New Jews' stake claim: That's us Jew Spot readers!

2009-11-04T11:33:00.003-05:00

CNN online posted a collection piece of the "New Jews" movement featuring everyone from Heeb Magazine to G-dcast.com. It's pretty apparent that there's a new way to do Jewish - and I wonder what that means for the establishment? Can Jews now skip Sunday school and listen to some Punk Torah instead? I love this quote by the way from front man Patrick A: "When I'm on stage screaming, hitting my
