My Single Peeps: Abby L.

Jewish Journal June 28, 2011

Abby came to me via her mother, who e-mailed me after reading a My Single Peeps column. Abby, who is 34 and a stand-up comic, says she asked her mom — a founder of the Malibu Jewish Center & Synagogue — to use her contacts to hook her up with someone like David Letterman. Instead, her mom came back with, “I have someone better. I hooked you up with Seth from My Single Peeps.” I can’t help her stand-up career, but maybe I can help her meet her soul mate.

My Single Peeps: Larry K.

Jewish Journal June 7, 2011

Growing up, Larry spent his summers in Miami working as a sailing instructor on catamarans … which I think is some kind of a sailboat. Or else people should be asking for their money back. He’s very much a Miami guy — at least old Miami, before the Cubans came and turned it into the sexy, Latin metropolis it’s become. He likes the laid-back life, the warm Atlantic Ocean, and wearing shorts to work. In fact, he wore shorts to meet me for our interview.

My Single Peeps: Nicole M.

Jewish Journal June 1, 2011

My first impression of Nicole, when she met me at my local Starbucks, was how adult-like she seems. I know that sounds silly — seeing as she’s a 31-year-old woman — but I’m 36, and my mannerisms probably haven’t changed a whole lot since I was a teenager. I still beatbox to myself, continuing my childhood fantasy of being one of the members of the Fat Boys. One day …

My Single Peeps: Steve P.

Jewish Journal May 24, 2011

Steve is extremely complimentary to women. They find him charming, even if the rest of us want to puke listening to accolades so saccharine. He’s an old-school charmer in the way that American men aren’t anymore. He’s like that Italian guy you meet in Rome who offers to take you on a private tour of the Colosseum because “a beautiful American girl shouldn’t be traveling alone.” The guys roll their eyes and then can’t understand how the girl actually jumps on the back of his Vespa. But she does. And we should all take note.

My Single Peeps: Jami R.

Jewish Journal May 17, 2011

Although I’ve met Jami, 39, a few times over the years, it’s generally been when I’ve been auditioning, as an actor, for her, a casting director. And you can’t really get to know someone when you’re nervously reading for a part you want to book. So I was excited to turn the tables on her and ask her out on a date … a date for my single peeps.

Divorced by 30

Jewish Journal May 4, 2011

Sascha Rothchild, 33, describes the feeling leading up to the end of her first marriage as a sort of underlying malaise.

My Single Peeps: Shmuly G.

Jewish Journal April 12, 2011

Shmuly is the least typical Chasidic Jew you will ever meet. The guy\’s an anomaly. He will never cut his beard, and he always wears a yarmulke, no matter where he goes, but he will go anywhere. I mean, you can find him backstage at a Paul Oakenfold concert, or ranking third place in a 5K run to cure cancer. This picture of him is from a jewelry line that loves Shmuly’s look and insisted that he be in their catalog. He was just asked to be in a Pink music video but turned it down because it would have required him to lie undressed in bed with Pink and, although he’s not square, for him it wasn’t that funny a concept.

Are you ready for marriage?

Jewish Journal October 16, 2008

We live in an age of infinite choices regarding alternative lifestyles, a reality that creates unparalleled freedom in people\’s living arrangements, but also great confusion.

Ingredients for a successful marriage

Rabbi N. Daniel Korobkin May 29, 2008

Parshat Bamidbar (Numbers 1:1-4:20)

The prophet Hosea describes the relationship of God and Israel as a husband-wife relationship. Hosea himself did not have the happiest of marriages. God told him to marry a loose, immoral woman, so that he would know God\’s anguish over having a \”wife\” like the Jewish people who behaved scandalously in their religious choices during the prophet\’s era
