"If I could give this .5 stars I would. Pretty useless and just perpetuates stereotypes (jewish men are neurotic, good lovers, and only doctors/lawyers/bankers).
I realized it was going to be a fluffy book, but there could have been some relevance (for example how culture influences their choices, how religious rites fit in), but this was certainly all about how to change yourself and try to fit in. Including a list of conventions that would be highly attended by Jewish men (again, doctors, lawyers, and bankers). Really? Travel to a different city to meet a guy? Huh. That's not desperate.
Its a very easy read, and while I'll turn to other books to learn something more relevant about the culture, I guess this is a good guide for ladies who want to pretend to be something they aren't."
"this book was funny in places, but it assumed a lot about me as a woman and my soon-to-be spouse as a jew that was not really accurate. for example, i'm not very materialistic, and neither is he, but i got the impression that the book thought we'd love each other all the more because we'd both love gucci.
i felt a little bad for the author at times, as it seemed like her assumptions where true understanding should be would keep her in the throes of serial monogamy for a while. but then, she's made a good business of her love life. nothin' wrong with that!
but if you are looking to settle down, i think making a lot of assumptions, even with good intentions, is a common mistake people make when they date a perceived "other" (even just when men date women). unless one gets over those assumptions quickly, they're going to damage the relationship."
"This book is AMAZING for any Shiksa dating a Jewish man. Not only is it an entertaining read, but you will learn something too! I strongly recommend this book."
