362 Rabbi Jo David: Reformed Rabbi becomes Author of Racy, Romantic, Sex Novels
Episode 362
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
Rabbi Jo David grew up in a conservative Jewish home in New York. Her mother said, “the woman’s job is to always serve the man”. She didn’t think so and in the 80s decided to become a reformed Rabbi. In 2001, when the twin towers were attacked, she lived in mid-town Manhattan with a direct view. The next day she couldn’t get off the couch and for 10 years suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome. By the time she was able to walk out of her apartment by herself, Jo had found that writing eased her pain. Soon she was creating sexy, racy, romantic novels under an alias. The idea for these books came to her in a dream.This vital, vibrant woman, founder of mobile story hours for Headstart, believes you must give yourself permission to imagine every choice.“I was in my late 60s when I realized I didn’t need everyone’s approval.” - Rabbi Jo David
