jewish bunnyAt a recent breakfast honoring a local Rabbi for his years of service to the Jewish community, students from every confirmation class that he had taught were invited. One of his former students had a big surprise for the guests. She thanked the Rabbi for helping her, by throwing her out of confirmation class, which led to personal growth, and ultimately into discovering what she really wanted to do: become a Playboy model.

Josie Goldberg proudly declared that she is the first seriously pro-Israel Jewish Cyberbunny.

This very confident Russian-Jewish beauty also told the the assembled that the Rabbi had taught her the importance of giving tzedakah. She donates to Chabad and JNF.

  • Lindsey Vuolo, a Playmate in 2001, made a big deal about having gone on Birthright and even debated Shmuley Boteach. Then again, she was also being billed as “the first Jewish centerfold” at the time, which wasn’t true, although it would probably be weirder if these girls knew a lot of Playboy trivia from before they were born.

  • And, oh, there are pics of Josie easily found out there from January (when she was “Cybergirl of the Week”)

  • Reading her prose kind of kills the excitement, or maybe it adds to it? The next Esther Kustanowitz she’s not, though:

  • I can’t wait to see her get picked up as some type of spokesperson for something…Like free trips to Israel…They could use her for Russian engagement. I’d so go on that bus!

  • I like it when she says, “I am tall,beautiful,smart and very calculating… I am not a doormate.”

    She is most definitely not a doormate!

  • Yup. She more closely resembles a doormat.

    And the special kind of doormat that gets naked for $$$.

    They sell them at ikea. I saw her there last week, with a whole bunch of other ones. (Different colors and textures)

  • Oh please, Barbi Benton is Jewish. Her real last name is Klein.

  • There have been plenty of Jewish women in Playboy. May 1969 Playmate Sally Sheffield professed having lived on a kibbutz, spoke fluent Hebrew and that Moshe Dayan was her hero.
    Many change their names or have married names so may not be easy to identify as Jewish. Playmate Kathy Shower was Kathy Shnaurer. Barbie Benton – Hugh Hefner’s longtime girlfriend was born Barbara Klein.

  • The daughter looks like a 10-year JDate veteran if you catch my drift.

  • MIddle is a handsome fellow; Muffti has seen him with his own eyes. The ladies had best be glad Middle and Muffti don’t go prowling together…

  • Don’t listen to Muffti, I’m ugly like a Pantera song and dumb like a rusty doornail. And married. I wouldn’t know how to prowl even if I had Muffti as a co-pilot. What’s flirting?

  • Muffti never said you weren’t dumb! 🙂

    By the way, does anyone else find it wierd that the second question she answers is:
    are you affiliated with any unions

  • Gotta hand it to that Jewish education. Cheder cleary paid off in this case.

    I’ll bet Harvard is just beating down her door.

  • I like where she says that “when I get screwed by a guy I get even”.

    Uhhhhh…..does that mean she screws him back? Cuz, that would, like, make sense.

  • Yeah, if it wasn’t clear (or you didn’t bother to click) that questionnaire was from what looks like a social networking site aimed at reality TV show producers.

    Maybe she can make a cameo in a Shabot 6000 strip. That’s probably reality enough for her.

  • She calls her mom like any Jewish kid, unlike the rest of humanity who have no bond whatsoever with their mothers.

    And she’s right about “dieseases”, which are a tad more serious than your run of the mill “diseases”, in the sense that they can kill you. I’ll bet she taught that “looser doctor” a thing or two about medicine. He probably faked his way through med school. Ha ha, she showed him, acting like a maniac in his office!!

    But you know, she causes controversy wherever she goes!!

  • The actually scary thing is that there probably are men out there that will consider her bright if only for a second-rate 1980s’ appeal fetish. 🙂

  • It was a multiple choice application: ‘math and tennis teacher’ or ‘doormate’. She ticked the one that she isn’t.

  • Seriously, people, chill out. Have you all forgotten that we don’t judge hotties by the same standards we judge others by? Next thing you know you’ll be expecting your athletes to quote Nietsche and your politicians to be able to tell Sunnis and Shiites apart.

  • Looks like Jewlicious has hit the big time with the PB link. Hopefully we’ll get another dose of naked Josie now?

  • “When Josie comes home, so bad/ She’s the best that we never had….”

    If Josie Goldberg **were** to become a Playmate, she would certainly not be the first one to be Jewish (nor was Lindsey Vuolo, although that story too was widely circulated when she became Miss November 2001). For instance, Miss December 1966 Sue Bernard always described herself as a “nice Jewish girl” (never mind the Christmas setting of her centerfold!), and it was the theme of her Playmate text that she had been “Growing up Glamorous” as the daughter of the famous photographer “Bernard of Hollywood”, Bruno Bernard, who was a refugee from Nazi Germany. As another example, Miss May 1969 Sally Sheffield reported in her Playmate text that she is fluent in Hebrew and that she spent eight months working in an Israeli kibbutz (artificially insemination hens!), so Josie Goldberg wouldn’t be the first “seriously pro-Israel centerfold”. In fact, she wouldn’t even be the first Playmate to be named “Goldberg”! (That was Miss May 1981 Gina Goldberg, although her Playmate text duly noted that she was a Finn and her maiden name was “Verenius”.)<<

  • that Sue Bernard is superterrific, why can’t they make ’em like that now?

  • I noticed the same thing muff! I guess in the olden days they didn’t have tanning beds! You definitely do not see tan lines like that anymore.

  • Guess why I mentioned a second-rate 1980s’ appeal fetish. The hairdo and lacy catsuit add to the overall impression. Suppose buyers of men’s mags go for outdated looks in general. 🙂

  • Interestingly, the doormats in Ikea (Swedish) are named after Danish municipalities.
