Matthue Roth is an Orthodox paradox; a poet who davens three times a day, he riffs on the sex he didn’t have until he married, crushes on Orthodox girls, his lesbian best friends and other frustrations of being frum. Matthue has performed on HBO’s “Def Poetry Jam” series. On Friday nights he’s a regular at Chabad, but other nights he’s in front of the microphone. He is a published author and poet with two books to his credit “Never Mind the Goldbergs” and a memoir, “Yom Kippur A Go-Go.” A third book is in the works. Warning: these poems may be inappropriate for children and halachic prudes.
