Shalom! Passover began April 18th at sunset. The 7-day celebration commemorates the liberation of ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Israelites marked their doors so death would pass over them. Most celebrate by eating Matzo, but we celebrate with a photo gallery of hot Jewish women who’ve freed themselves of their clothing that we just couldn’t pass over. Think you can find a hotter congregation of Jewish jewels outside of Hollywood and The Holy Land? Mazel Tov, buddy!

For many college students, grads, and young professionals, a career path can be a cloudy one – a mixture of doubt and confusion, purpose and experimentation. For Mr. Hefner, it was a journey many others could sympathize with but no one has duplicated. He served as a writer for a military newspaper in the U.S. Army. He graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, worked as a copywriter for Esquire then raised $8,000 from 45 investors to launch Playboy. The rest is history. We’ve collected almost 40 photos of Hef during these formative years. Prepare to stare into the face of determination after the jump!
