This was a very cute and funny birthday gift for a friend who seems to only date Jewish men. The book really pulls attention and is something that gets passed around. I don't think anyone should take this book as literal- but it is a funny book to take in jest- and as a gag gift.

But it is meant to be a gift- and goes over very well. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. The book is way over priced. Could easily be shortened into a periodical article. Not informative and humor left me cold. The author is demeaning to Jewish men as though they are boy-toys. She discusses Yiddish language and Jewish holidays more or less as trivia.
The sampling of women she obtained for data was indeed very few. Not a profound book. One person found this helpful. It's a funny book but nothing else. Sometimes can fall into stereotypes, and much of the information here is from other books that are way better.
I'm giving it 3 stars because it was kind of entertaining to read, but that's it. I have read many self-help books for inter-faith couples, and this one is more of a fun, silly read than a resource. Not as interesting as I assumed.

Honestly the stupidest book I have ever read!!! The author tries to be funny but is not -- the book is filled with ridiculous fluff I bought this book when I was working at a Jewish school. While I wasn't dating a Jewish man, I found this to be a fun, unique perspective on the culture for an outsider. Fun to read with a different perspective. If you're dating a Jewish man, this is a great book for you!

Amazon Music Stream millions of songs. Amazon Advertising Find, attract, and engage customers. It was no great surprise when I met a Jewish boy and married him and raised our children Jewish. There is a shorthand amongst people from the same culture, that can fast-forward some of the early stages of dating. Now, post-divorce, I have dated both Jewish and non-Jewish men.

There are high rates of intermarriage amongst Jewish people in Australia and the United States. I know dozens of couples in which only one partner is Jewish, and the kids are raised in both cultures. And, so, it was with great interest that I read the recent article in the Washington Post by Carey Purcell, a non-Jewish woman who took exception to her dumping by not one, but two, Jewish men.
She begins the article by describing her WASPY pearls and her marvellous martinis, and ends the article by swearing off Jewish men forever. The anti-Semitic undertones of the article have been well documented, and Purcell has issued an apology for offence caused. For one thing, a sample size of two does not make a pattern.
If it did, then my own dating experience would prove the exact opposite.
In the past few years, I have been in relationships with two Jewish men, both of whom broke up with me to start relationships with non-Jews. If that was the reason, they would have told her!

I understand the temptation to blame external forces. When a man broke up with me recently, I told myself it was because of my media profile. They live in New York! The chances of meeting a Jewish person in New York are pretty damn high. After all, Purcell herself met and fell in love with two Jewish people.
The idea is preposterous, and more than a little insulting.

Having said that, I support the right of any person to date someone from their own cultural background. We all have the right to date and marry people who share our beliefs, our ideas, our values, and our religion. More importantly, however, we all have the right to break up with whomever we choose.
