What nice Jewish girl hasn\’t heard this from her mother: \”You should meet a nice Jewish boy!\”

My mom was no different.

She would constantly urge me, \”Go to synagogue. A Jewish mixer. Or a Shabbat dinner. That\’s where you\’ll meet lots of nice Jewish men.\”

But I never cared for organized events. I prefer to meet my men through more everyday-casual-maybe-it-will-happen situations, which is how I met Carl.
