The Blogs: 15 Jewish women hotter than Bar Refaeli

Show of hands: who thinks Bar Refaeli is hot?

Yup, we do too.

But looks aren’t everything.

When we think of hot women we think of game-changers, rebels, women who didn’t take no for an answer and made this world a better place.

Let’s bring it:

1. Erica Jong: A generation of suburban Jewish men should thank HaShem every day for Erica Jong. Why you ask? Read this book.

2. Betty Friedan: Because that “feminine mystique” that Bar sells? Betty invented it.

3. Ruth Bader Ginsburg: To hell with “my son, the lawyer.” We’re talking “my mother, the US Supreme Court judge.” BAM.

4. Queen Esther: She makes Netanyahu’s problems with Persia look like a day at the beach.

5. Sheryl Sandberg: She had a TED talk!

Now, lean in everyone, and watch:

6. Emma Goldman: Let’s just say that she defined that badass rebellious Jewish spirit.

7. Golda Meir: So, like Bar Refaeli, Golda didn’t serve in the IDF.

But she ran it.

8. Rabbi Miri Gold: Because she’s shaken up the Rabbinate by being the first non-Orthodox rabbi in Israel to have her salary paid for by the government. And that’s hot!!
