Mamet Serves Feast of Foul Language

Gaby Friedman September 29, 2005

When actor Steven Goldstein started reading David Mamet\’s new play, \”Romance,\” he was thrown by the relentlessly foul language.

Reviews of the play, which ran in New York for two and a half months, generally appreciated the humor in the obscenity and racial-epithet laden play. And many in the audience laughed raucously, although others exited the theater by the second act.

Now, L.A. theater patrons will be able to judge for themselves. The play opened this week at the Mark Taper Forum.

Why Women Stray

Norma Zager June 23, 2005

Diane Shader Smith is a fearless Jewish mother, or would that be redundant? Smith, with her new, hot-selling book, \”Undressing Infidelity: Why More Wives Are Unfaithful\” has gone where very few have dared go in unmasking the myth that women don\’t stray and actually have fun while doing it.

Desperately Seeking Soulmates

Gaby Wenig February 12, 2004

The most successful matchmakers in the Jewish community don\’t want to talk romance.

His own romance \”happened so long ago, there is really not much to say about it,\” Alon Carmel, the co-founder, of JDate.com, the largest Jewish online personals site, tells The Journal when asked for some personal tips of the romance trade.

Carmel\’s business partner, Joe Shapira, is even less inspiring.

V-Day Gestures

Lori Gottlieb February 12, 2004

It\’s hard enough being single, but listening to those Valentine\’s Day gift-buying countdowns feels a lot like being Jewish and unable to participate in Christmas. So what if there are just five shopping days left before Feb. 14? It\’s like St. Valentine took over St. Nick\’s body, and now the whole coupled country is in another mall-bound tizzy. Maybe it\’s sour grapes, but I don\’t get all the hoopla.

Does the grand romantic gesture really pay off?

Storybook Romance

Keren Engelberg November 7, 2002

Kathy Angel Eisenberg and David Eisenberg first met at Rose Nails salon in Woodland Hills. David was taking his 16-year-old daughter to get a manicure and Kathy was bringing her kids with her for her own appointment. The kids were \”bouncing off the walls,\” Kathy said. David quickly assured her that as the kids get older, \”it only gets worse.\”

And with that opener, a romance was born. The two were married this past August and are working on creating a personalized storybook to record their love story for posterity.
