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.
