Mein Name ist Joseph

       Mein Name ist Joseph Tsefanyahu. I am a simple everyday man who actively supports the clothes-free lifestyle. I am your neighbor, co-worker, friend, husband, daddy, and every other title that fits societal description. I am a writer and a teacher, a hard working man that deservingly lives the life that I am meant (I believe by G!D) to live. I am the everyday human that you meet on the street and say "hallo" to. I am the leader in the business you support who you find so impressive in skill and work ethic. I am the person you run to so that you may share in confidence what it is that is so predominant upon your mind. I am the friend you go on hikes with and play with when life allows for this. I am the religious presence in your midst, ever striving to enhance our daily existence with a spark of holiness added to it.

       I am the realist and the artiste, the one seeking to just be (as I am meant to be) in every moment of every day. I am the facilitator of balance between the demands of social life and the desires of the heart. I am the member of the social nudist caste that should have public prominence within every society. I am a servant from the heart, ever hungering to share myself openly in the ways that society most often does not want shared ... that is as long as you share it in the politically, socially, and religious "correct" way. I stand separate of time, having no actual sense of it. And, yet I am very aware of our human-ness, and our impermanence as individuals within a species upon this planet. I see the glory of who we are, both in and out of our clothes, and I am at awe and wonder all the time over it. And, I am saddened by this very same reality, striving thus ever more to be the example that I am un-abashedly for the sake of expressing ... before the opportunity to express is no longer a reality for me.

       So, here I am, the naked Irish Jew, standing before you in photographs and videos (and, if you know me, in person as well). I am Joseph, your man of deep thought, of endless struggle for wisdom and for freedom, your best friend if you'll allow me to be. I am a firm believer in preserving your ethnic heritage, being true to who you are in this, and living and letting live. Idealism is opium for the masses. No, I'm not a Marxist, but I am firmly a capitalistic socialist. I am all for the kibutz lifestyle. And, especially so, if it will allow me to freely express my poly-sexual nature. Polyandry, one woman and two men, is what works for me. It's that Asian upbringing and the evenly fluid nature within. The nature that spurs my daily creativity, that urges me out of the man-made garments of civilization, and that draws me towards finding the sacredness and wholesome-ness in all that we daily do. Ethics are very important to me, and so is a ritual embracement of life and life's events.

       l am Joseph, your best friend, your most familiar co-worker, your favorite daddy and husband, your most unexpected neighbor, your friendly person you just met on the clothes-covered streets. I am in awe and joy of life! I am humbled by it, equally, as well. And, I wish to openly share it with you out of love for who we are ... as a species upon this planet, as the human you are that I am getting to know so much more about, and as the man who is honored by every positive embracement of my inclination towards being without clothes every moment I get. I love you. Please continue to share your life with me. Mein Name ist Joseph Tsefanyahu. And, I am now before you, in your presence, doing what I am doing in the way that I am doing, as I am meant to be!
