Real information, and a dirty joke

Ayana beat me to the Jewish punch with a referral to the department of Jewish Family Concerns at the Union of Reform Judaism. There's apparently a publication called Caring for the Soul R'fuat HaNefesh–a mental health resource and study guide. Write here to get it: 633 Third Ave., New York, NY 10017, or call 212-650-4294.

And if you want to hear my favorite dirty joke about Reform Judaism (because there are so many to choose from), check out the jump. But hear me now: It's about sex and religion, so if you think Sarah Silverman is offensive, don't read it.

An Orthodox man marries, and his new bride asks him if she can give him a blowjob. The man is unsure; he wants her to, of course, but feels he should get permission from his rabbi first.

So he goes to the rabbi's office, closes the door, and says, "Can you give me a berakhah [blessing] to say when my wife gives me a blowjob?" The Orthodox rabbi says, "What's a blowjob?"

The man goes to a Conservative rabbi. He asks: "Can you give me a berakhah so my wife can give me a blowjob?" The Conservative rabbi says, "What's a blowjob?"

The man goes to a Reform rabbi. He asks: "Can you give me a berakhah so my wife can give me a blowjob?" The Reform rabbi says, "What's a berakhah?"

Ha ha. Don't be offended. I'm a Reform type myself.
