Like many Jews in the modern age, we met on JDate. It was love at first "click."

Heart’s Desire

Editor — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:03:58 +0000

Every February 14th love-struck men and women spend more than 1 billion dollars on chocolate products. Our infatuation with chocolate first began 2,000 years ago when it was discovered in Latin America. The Maya and Aztec elites infused cocoa beans with water to form frothy chocolate drinks for special occasions and as sacrifices to the gods. The Aztec ruler Montezuma believed that chocolate was an aphrodisiac and routinely drank it before entering his harem, thus increasing chocolate’s popularity and its association with love and romance. Modern-day scientists have linked the chemical phenylethylamine in chocolate to feelings of excitement, attraction and even pleasure.

Though I was quite apprehensive initially of finding my match online, JDate seemed like a far more appealing option than being forced into yet another synagogue fix-up courtesy of my mother and her gaggle of friends.

How can I open up to others through online dating?

Editor — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:44:31 +0000

Dear Rabbi,
I have to say, I'm really out of touch when it comes to this whole "online dating scene". You see, being 39 and single (and struggling just to make new friends in this town I've lived in for almost 15 yrs) has been downright exhausting! I've turned to temples, synagogues, JCCAs and the Jewish Federation for help, and now I feel like the only direction to go is online. Even though I've tried this online scene before and failed, I keep coming back to it because everyone says this is where you'll meet people, this is where you'll meet your beshuva, to which I reply, "bah humbug" (for a lack of better words!!!).
