Ivy Qiryatshmona Brothel ❤️

About Jerusalem

There’s this story, yeah? In 19th-century Paris, brothels were called “maisons closes,” super fancy, like VIP lounges before VIP lounges existed. They had rules, decor, the lot! One madam, Sidonie, she kept diaries—wild stuff! Said clients were more scared of her than the cops. Ha! That’s control, innit? Made me laugh, but also, like, respect. She’s out there livin’ her truth, no apologies.

In this article, I reflect on my practice as a social worker with young Jewish and Arab Bedouin women from marginalized groups in Israel.

Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in Qiryat Shmona, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
