  • Messiah Energy and Wholesome Comedy | Interview with Modi Rosenfeld
    Jan 19 2025
    Video version of this interview: https://youtu.be/dlp7-4Aq1tM

    Modi Rosenfeld is a brilliant and wonderful Jewish comedian whose work I've long been a huge fan of. He is able to talk to any audience, a skill that few have. It's incredible to me that his audience spans from the very secular to the very religious, including Hasidic Jews, which is part of his bit. In my latest interview I talk to Modi for a bit of a behind the scenes discussion about his amazing work. C

  • Sex ed in the Hasidic community | A Hasidic grooms receives the birds and the bees talk
    Nov 24 2024
    Video version of this posting: https://youtu.be/Gk917OpgS_Q

    It is the tradition that before a Hasidic young man gets married, he attends a private session with an older rabbi who guides him in matters of sex and intimacy. Since sex is not a topic openly discussed in this society as it is considered immodest, this one lesson is potentially the first time the young groom learns about sex and the opposite gender. That one lesson could be beautiful, painful, shocking, exhilarating, and so many other things.

    Since I myself went through this on the female side, I have first hand experience of how complicated and intense this session can be. A few years ago a young engaged man recorded his pre-marital session and it was circulated in the underground Hasidic world. I first found it painful to listen to, and later I came to see it as quite gorgeous, human, complex, worthy of dissemination.

    To keep everyone's identity private, I am not publishing the original audio, which is in Yiddish. However, I did translate the whole thing to English for my blog, and in this video I'll read to you most of that translation. I'm leaving out the very graphic sexual bits as I didn't think they were necessary. If you are interested in reading it (and probably you are, you are human! :)

Fascinating

Very insightful and nuanced description of divers aspects of Hassidic life. Doesn’t shy away from difficult topics but covers everything with respect and love. Frieda left the community herself but one feels that she very much sees that as her individual decision.
