"Queer and still Orthodox" with Rachel Olshin

Rachel Olshin (Hamantaschen Monologues) is here to make your frum gay fantasies come true. This feels like a classic Yenta: we get deep into yiddishkeit, queer politics, and Raye threatens to have a threesome.

We Yenta about:

- Queer kids in modern orthodox schools

- The queer frum cultures hiding in major cities

- If you're bi, are you shomer negiah for everyone?

- Going flat with a mastectomy

- Choosing Judiasm for yourself, not your family

- Why Raye needs bungee cords

Announcement! You're invited to take part in the Yenta Matchmaking Experiment!! If you want to be matched with a potential date from the Yenta listener universe, you can submit your profile now! Starting in March 2025, we'll be releasing Patreon episodes of "Yenta Matchmaking", where we go in detail behind the scenes of the matchmaking process. More info here:
