A Bintel Brief: A Roleplaying Game of Jewish Life in a Changing America
By Simcha Baez
A quick roleplaying game based on the Bintel Brief - a Jewish advice column.
A Bintel Brief was a Yiddish advice column that ran in Der Forverts ( The Forward) From 1906 until 1970.
To play this game you will need: A Bintel Brief Vol I or II by Isaac Matzker.
You can try to find a random letter by googling “A Bintel Brief pdf,” but buying the book is more fun.
If you have access to The Forward you can search their archives too.
2-3 Players
Players will select a letter a random, read it, roleplay the scene, come up with the editor's suggestion, and then finally read the actual editor's advice.

Thank you for sharing this. I don't have experience with TTRPGs, but I've stumbled onto this one and am curious to give it a try.
This is Avraham responding on behalf of my wife (Simcha) who wrote the game. She told me to tell you that she also does not have experience with TTRPGs and hopes you have fun!
