🚨 For women, girls, AND men and boys | In conversation with Jessica Roda
Video version of this interview: https://youtu.be/blLciT0egb4Jessica Roda just published the book "For Women and Girls Only" on Orthodox Jewish women's performances. You can find her book here: https://amzn.to/4jKRJgjIn this long form discussion we talk about what's happening in the scene of Orthodox Jewish women's performances. Because of modesty rules, women are not allowed to perform in front of men. So oftentimes their reach is limited. In Roda's work, she charts how women's perfomances has become a whole economy thanks to the internet and women's creative ways of approaching the Kol Isha issue.Check out Jessica's book and Jessica on Instagram and Twitter:https://x.com/RodaJesshttps://www.instagram.com/jess_roda/ This interview is brought to you with the support of Fairfield University.

"I risk everything when speaking out as a woman in Kiryas Joel" | Exclusive interview with Fradel Neuman
Video version of this interview: https://youtu.be/HoTzWaF7dU8So many stories about the Hasidic Jews of the village of Kiryas Joel come from people who have left it. Or, often it will come from village official PR people who tell a very rosy story. In this interview, we get an exclusive peak into an everyday woman walking an exceptional line; risking everything in her community to express her voice. Fradel's story is compelling, fascinating and yet to get very interesting as she finds her place in the world, negotiating faith and individualization in a very communal society. Fradel is an amazing woman, mental health awareness advocate, talented photographer and more.Check her work out below:Find Fradel on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/fradelneuman/Fradel's photography website is: https://www.instagram.com/captureit___photography/

Messiah Energy and Wholesome Comedy | Interview with Modi Rosenfeld
Video version of this interview: https://youtu.be/dlp7-4Aq1tMModi 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. Check out Modi here on Youtube for amazing comedy videos including the full special here: https://youtu.be/iPF3GkKuPVc?si=0ghFVls5tJzKmSDJCheck out Modi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modi_live?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

Sex ed in the Hasidic community | A Hasidic grooms receives the birds and the bees talk
Video version of this posting: https://youtu.be/Gk917OpgS_QIt 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! :)feel free to check out my blog post here: https://friedavizel.com/2022/03/27/transcript-of-a-hasidic-grooms-wedding-lesson/Please also check out my interview with intimacy coach Peggy Greenfield for more conversation on this very delicate topic. https://youtu.be/AUdw8W71Gv8
