Trade You a Jutze For a Koufax

Just when baseball fans were denied the miracle of a Cubs-Red Sox World Series, another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes up to bat. The American Jewish Historical Society (AJHS) has commissioned the printing of 15,000 sets of \”America\’s Jews in America\’s Game\” baseball cards. Featuring all 142 Jews who played in the major leagues from 1871 through the 2003 All-Star break, this collector\’s edition is as rare as — well, as rare as a Jewish professional athlete.

Sorry for the Sin

Yom Kippur\’s on deck, boys — so you better bust out your little black book. No, not the machzor. Your other little black book — the one where you keep all your digits.

Pull out your PalmPilot, run through your phone sheet, sift through the scribbled notes on the back of crumpled coasters. It\’s time to scrounge up all your numbers and call all your babes.

Yom Kippur is a booty-free zone, so you\’re not calling to schedule a mid-Mincha make-out session. You\’re calling to apologize.

Single Conspiracy

Someone call Oliver Stone, I\’ve uncovered a conspiracy. The system is trying to keep the single woman down. That\’s right, the world revolves around happy little couples. And who pays the price? I\’ll tell you who pays the price. Single people, that\’s who. And we\’re not going to take it anymore.

The Great Jewish Hope

Dmitriy Salita doesn\’t fight on the Sabbath, which gives his competition a much-needed day of rest from this powerful junior welterweight.

The Friend Zone

Jay and I met watching college hoops at Maloney\’s in March. He\’s a Syracuse fan who came to believe his team would only win when my tush was on the bar stool next to his.

Age-Old Dilemma

My friend Lindsay\’s friend, Michelle, hosted a 30th birthday bash for her friend, Beth, last Saturday night. So of course I was there.

The Matzah Bull

Christmas Eve 2001. Bing Crosby\’s on my radio, Jimmy Stewart\’s on my television and I\’m on my couch.

My Chanukah Miracle

I\’m an experienced multidater, so I\’m usually pretty good at juggling men.

Bruin Pair Ready to Battle Trojans

Crosstown football rivals UCLA (7-3) and USC (8-2) will face-off in their 72nd annual battle for city bragging rights at The Rose Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 23. And leading the Bruins are Jewish senior starters Mike Seidman and Mike Saffer.
