## Instagram transcript (Day 9) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT0WvvED5lI/ This crazy rumor that religious Jews we have sex through a hole in the sheep. That's not it. We have sex through a hole in the wall. It's a glory hole. Glory. There’s this myth that Jews have sex through a hole in the sheet. False. It’s a hole in the wall. It’s a gloryhole But the glory is for god. More info: The "hole in the sheet" idea among {!nav}Orthodox Jews is a persistent myth, originating from non-Jews seeing men's four-cornered undergarments (tallit katan or tzitzit) with a head hole hanging on clotheslines, mistakenly thinking it was a sheet used during marital intimacy. In reality, Jewish law emphasizes complete physical closeness, and intimacy is considered holy, making the myth false and contrary to practice, as explained in sources like My Jewish Learning and Aish.com. **Origin of the Myth** - **Visual Misinterpretation:** People unfamiliar with Jewish religious attire saw the tallit katan, a small, poncho-like garment with a central head opening, drying on clotheslines.     - **Imagination:** Without understanding the garment, observers invented an explanation, creating the rumor about a sheet with a hole for sexual purposes.     **Reality in Judaism** - **Emphasis on Closeness:** Jewish tradition views marital intimacy as a holy act, requiring total physical and spiritual unity, not separation by a sheet.     - **Contrary to Law:** Having anything between a husband and wife during intimacy is discouraged, with Jewish law promoting complete nakedness.    The myth came from people trying to imagine what Jews looked like when the have sex and all things considered- I prefer this image. They didn’t even try to introduce the idea that we fucked with our horns -> so jewish tradition says sex is a holy act, like anointing kings with oil, tzedakah, giving charity, something women already do for their husbands by having sex with them -> which means that sometimes, you can do 3 holy acts at once, charitable acts of oily sex.
