Fleshbot’s Friday Five: The Jewish Pornstar Edition

All around the world, our Jewish friends are celebrating the holiest time of the year – so, in their honor, we thought we'd dedicate this week's Friday Five to some of the hole-iest Jews we know. (Get it?) It's hard to say what it is about Jews that drive us wild: the dark hair? The Semitic noses? Their rumored (and often demonstrated) sexual prowess and lack of hang ups about getting down and dirty? Or maybe their appreciation for a really good bagel?

Well, it's hard to say for sure, but we do know one thing: no matter your religion, you gotta admit that Jewish girls just have that certain special something. And in celebration of whatever it is that drives us wild aobut them, we've  rounded up a few very special scenes featuring some amazing members of the tribe. Once you're gotten through with this roster of sexy scenes, you might find yourself tempted to convert... or at least find yourself a nice Jewish girlfriend. If you ask us, it's totally worth it.

Joanna Angel: When we think about Jewish pornstars, no one comes to mind quicker than the lovely Joanna Angel. Raised Orthodox (by an Israeli mother, no less), and still somewhat observant (nevermind the tattoos), Joanna's out and proud when it comes to her heritage. So much so, in fact, that she even organized an eight man gangbang to help her celebrate Chanuka one year. In the traditional Chanuka story, the Maccabees are blessed when a small amount of oil manages to light their menorah for a magnificent eight nights. We hear Joanna experienced a similar miracle when shooting this scene – though in her case, it was a small amount of lube that managed to prove enough for eight cocks worth of fucking. Miracle of miracles!

Arabelle Raphael: Another tattooed girl with a Jewish heritage (Persian Jewish, no less, with a bit of French thrown in for extra awesomeness.) Arabelle really shines in "Girlpile," a four girl orgy show in a Vegas hotel room during the Adult Entertainment Expo one year. We're not sure what it is with Jewish girls and group sex, but we do know that – just like Joanna – Arabelle really shines when she's got several partners to pleasure. It's also worth noting that – unlike some girl-on-girl titles you may have come across over the years – this scene features female performers who really groove on getting it on with vaginas, making for a super sexy scene with incredibly intense chemistry.

Nina Hartley: How Jewish is this porn legend? So Jewish, she's got a nursing degree in addition to that very successful porn career. Given the decades she's been doing dirty deeds on camera, it's a little hard to pick out just one scene, but we have to admit that we're especially fond of what she gets up to in this Tristan Taormino directed flick. It's not every woman – or even every pornstar – who can take a massive metal dildo in the backdoor while a cock pleasures her pussy... but hey, Nina Hartley isn't just any porn performer, guys. she's Nina Hartley (and did we mention that she's a porn legend? Because yeah, she most definitely is).

April O'Neil: True, April's only part Jewish, and it's technically not through the right side (her mother is Mexican – she claims Jewish ancestry through her father's side), but something tells us that if the people who decide these things had a chance to view April at work, they'd throw away those rules about matrilineal inheritance of Judaism and welcome April to the tribe with open arms (or maybe open legs, wink wink). Like many of her Jewish pornstar peers, April's accomplished enough to make picking just one scene a little bit tricky – so we went with one that plays up our other favorite thing about her (one that happens to dovetail nicely with the whole Jewish thing, to boot). Yes, we can't be the only ones whose heart goes pitter pat at the site of a nerdy Jewish girl getting really, really naughty: and as a bona fide nerd (with numerous other sexy assets to boot), April really shines in this Elegant Angel tribute to smart girls who suck (dick).

Nice Jewish Girls: Last but not least: how can we ignore a porn that bills itself as featuring the sensual charms of "Nice Jewish Girls"? True, several cast members aren't actually Jewish (we'll leave it to you to guess which ones are and which ones aren't), but it does celebrate the joys of being Jewish (albeit in one of the most profane ways possible). For added Jewish cred, the release involves the always entertaining – and incredibly Jewish – boy pornstar next door, James Deen. And hey, if we learned anything from Philip Roth (and Woody Allen), there's nothing more Jewish than lusting after a shiksa or two.
