Jewish swimsuit calendar: Scandal or not?

Heeb magazine has produced what it is calling the first-ever Jewish swimsuit calendar, a humorous fold-out section of the quirky magazine. Photos feature five Israeli models and one Jewish-American in "The Ladies of 69," a reference to the Jewish year 5769.

"Shot in a studio with the help of skimpy bikinis and lots of sand, the photos refer playfully to their subjects' religious and cultural background," reports The Jerusalem Post. "The issue's eye-catching cover photo features Israeli Victoria's Secret model Bar Rafaeli looking scandalized in a two-piece amid a decidedly unkosher swarm of lobsters, while the months of Shvat and Adar are accompanied by an image of American model Donna Feldman surrounded by surfboards and a pile of novels written by Philip Roth."
