Hanukkah may be the Festival of Lights, but this year, it’s a FLESHtival of Delights as Mr. Skin celebrates his favorite nude Hebrew hotties! You can turn the next eight crazy nights into a boner-nanza thanks to these all-time nude beauties who will make you wanna Judah Macca-beat off! So gather around the menorah—and throw up a tenth candle while you’re at it, since no one’s doing a top nine—and celebrate the season with these alluring Jewish dishes!
With a Rabbi for an older sister, Sarah Silverman is certainly steeped in the faith, even if she’s non-practicing herself. Sarah’s sexiness has been part of her persona throughout her career, along with being one of the funniest people on the planet, making her a potent package! Her nude debut in Take This Waltz was a revelation, but to see Sarah flying solo, check out her topless bathroom scene in 2015's I Smile Back!
Would it be Shameless of us to say that the Showtime hit just hasn’t been the same since Emmy Rossum left? There’s certainly been a lot less skin on the series since brown-eyed beauty—who was raised by a Jewish single mother—called it quits after season nine. Thankfully those nine seasons of Shameless included some of the best nude scenes on premium cable for that decade!
The original curvy brunette girl-next-door-of-our-dreams, Jennifer Connelly was an instant star thanks to her unrivaled good looks. Though Jennifer’s father is Catholic, her mother was Jewish and Jennifer was educated at a yeshiva. After stealing hearts as a teen star, Jennifer matured into a full-on femme fatale in 1990's The Hot Spot, making a nude debut that stands 30 years later as one of cinema’s finest!
Lizzy Caplan was raised Jewish and grew up in Los Angeles, so it wasn’t a long journey to stardom—physically, anyway—for this green eyed goddess! While her nude debut on True Blood was amazing, Lizzy really kicked into high gear with her leading role on Showtime’s Masters of Sex! Here she went nude regularly as sex research pioneer Virginia Johnson, teaching men everywhere to master their own johnsons!
Born in Jerusalem nearly 40 years ago, Neta-Lee Hershlag did well to Americanize her name to Natalie Portman, though she’s never left her Jewish roots behind! She’s conquered blockbusters and earned her fair share of awards from the cinematic community, not to mention an Anatomy Award or two along the way! Grab your best look at Natalie’s Port, man, in the 2007 short film Hotel Chevalier.
Though Eva Green describes herself as a “secular Jew who never attended Synagogue,” it doesn’t take a Rabbi to see she’s a holy creation! The stunningly beautiful 40-year old has spent the last two decades baring her body on film, but she’ll likely never top her nude—and screen—debut in Bertolucci’s The Dreamers. Few actresses could stand to be compared to a classic work of art like the Venus De Milo, but Eva obviously holds her own.
We fell in love with her as the half-Jewish Annie on Community, but the fully Jewish Alison Brie is a dish best served topless! When the busty brunette joined the cast of Netflix’s GLOW, she made our dreams come true by going nude twice in the debut episode! She netted herself Anatomy Awards and spots on Mr. Skin’s annual Top Ten lists every year since, making every last nude scene a mitzvah unto itself.
Until 2014's Under the Skin, movie nudity lovers everywhere had shpilkes over whether or not Scarlett Johansson would ever go nude on film. While she’d slipped a nip or two, it wasn’t the full-on nudity we wanted from one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood. We’re truly blessed she gave us several minutes of screen time fully nude in that Avant-garde flick, which will live in Skinfamy until the end of time.
