Modern Orthodoxy’s Marriage Crisis

Hard-to-marry-off children have been worrying parents since Genesis, when Leah, her eyes tender from the sadness of being unwanted, took part in a hoax to trick Jacob — her younger, prettier sister\’s suitor — into marrying her.

Age Apparent

Of all the May-to-December romances that were not meant to be, mine must top the list. For starters, I met Rick in a hot tub — a cliché I was sure we could never get over.

Out of the Picture

Summer\’s over, and I just got round 10 of Beth\’s camp pictures. She\’s made new friends, and seems to be learning a ton. She has that youthful exuberance. Adorable, no? Well, sort of.

Who I Really Am

Here\’s the scenario: I travel for work almost 20 days a month. It\’s lonely out there on the road, one long Bob Seger song. Dating is almost impossible, but I\’ve met a guy who seems to fit the suit.

Dear Deborah

I\’m recently divorced (after more than 30 years of marriage), an educated and, I thought, pretty savvy woman. I have been dating a charming man now for almost two months. Recently we became intimate, and of course I expected our relationship to change.

Dating Blur

On weekend visits home, I can always count on finding news clippings in the hall tree drawer that my mom slipped there for me.

Calendar

Temple Emanuel: 10 a.m. Meditative Shabbat service followed by a potluck dairy/vegitarian lunch. 8844 Burton Way, Beverly Hills.

Where the Heart Is

They say you can never go home again.
Well, you can. Only you might find yourself staying at a Travelodge, driving a rented Ford Contour and staking out your childhood home like some noir private eye just trying to catch a glimpse of the Johnny-come-latelys that are now living in your house.
