Matthue Roth

Matthue Roth is an Orthodox paradox; a poet who davens three times a day, but riffs on the sex he hasn’t had, 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 has authored books, “Never Mind the Goldbergs” and “Yom Kippur A Go-Go.”
