Battle of the sexes along the Y-Divide

\”Ladies and gentlemen, Rabbi Aryeh Pamensky holds the secret to your incredible, unbelievable and unparalleled happiness,\” announces the emcee in a dimly lit nightspot where hundreds of Jews are gathered, each hoping to attain what half of Americans find unattainable: a happy marriage.\”

Looking for a few good men — or at least one

When my friend Lisa dropped by to report on her blind date, clutching a bottle of antacids and sporting a brand-new twitch in her eye, I sensed that it hadn\’t gone well.

Zapped!

At this high-tech, low-stress dating party, eager singles walk around, electronically zapping potential mates. Intrigued by this \”Go Go Gadget\” dating service, I decide to give it a whirl.
