Stuck in the middle

Rabbi Daniel Bouskila November 9, 2007

Throughout our history, my family\’s descendants have been mistreated, traumatized and deceived (just like me), yet somehow, we always survived. We always insisted, either physically or metaphorically, on \”staying in the land and digging wells,\” despite \”the famine.\” So perhaps our people refer to themselves by the names of my father and son, but their inner character and strength as tough survivors comes from me, Isaac. It is my story — the story of a survivor — that is really their story.

Why the Web Wins

Mark Miller February 17, 2005

I know you\’re not gonna believe this, but before Internet dating sites, couples actually used to meet \”offline\” — out in public — often by chance: at parties, dances, supermarkets, museums, bookstores. No, really! But like the Tyrannosaurus rex, the Edsel automobile and Steven Segal\’s career, offline dating is seemingly on its way to extinction. Oh, sure, a few couples occasionally meet offline, as God intended, in the course of their daily lives, much like our pioneer ancestors, but they\’re just lucky and we resent them. Just because they didn\’t have to pay $25 a month, post a photo, write a profile and proceed to meet hundreds of people with whom they felt less chemistry than Dick Cheney and Barbra Streisand on a tunnel of love ride, must they rub their joy in our faces?

More and more singles are meeting via Internet dating sites. There\’s gotta be a reason for that.

Ehud Barak quits Labor: Political betrayal or precursor to something bigger?

Jewish Journal January 18, 2011

Was it an act of political self-preservation, a feat of political destruction or a bid to stabilize Israel’s government ahead of some dramatic move? And for Israel\’s Labor Party, was it another sign of the once-leading party’s demise, or a precursor to a revival and the ideals for which it stands? What’s certain is that Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s decision this week to quit Labor, which he had headed until Monday, has sent shock waves throughout the Israeli political establishment. Ironically, the split of Labor — until this week a part of the Israeli government but now in the opposition — may yet strengthen the coalition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Barak’s decision to quit Labor and found a new political party along with four other Labor defectors leaves Netanyahu with eight fewer members in his coalition, but the 66 who remain are considered far more stable than the 74 he had pre-defection.

A Challenge to Cowards

Mark Miller December 2, 2004

OK, so if you\’re rejected, perhaps your self-esteem takes a little hit. If you\’re rejected a lot, perhaps it gets bruised. And if you experience nothing but rejection, maybe your self-esteem ends up in the trauma ward of Love General Hospital. But enough about my pain.

Singles ‘Curse’ Becomes a Blessing

Carin Davis October 21, 2004

Most single women in Los Angeles go through dry spells — a few weeks without a date, a couple months without a boyfriend, a season without some action. But how many Southland women go years without a man\’s touch and confess to it publicly? In her new book \”The Curse of the Singles Table, A True Story of 1001 Nights Without Sex,\” Santa Monica resident Suzanne Schlosberg talks about her long winter and spring and summer and fall, and winter again, and spring again and, well, her long, lonely time.

\”There was no end in sight,\” said Schlosberg, who spent more than three and a half years going on dozens of first dates, but almost never a second. \”The streak started to take on a life of its own.\”

Gaby Wenig July 31, 2003
