The holy rabbi — he’s not a compromising Modern Orthodox, he’s the real thing, a fair dinkum rabbi — is in my chat room<\/a> right now dispensing brachas:<\/p>\n

\nRabbiGadol:  A nice woman, his age, from a good family.  Very much interested in making and keeping a Jewish home.
\nYourMoralLeader:  Welcome Rabbi
\nCindi:  She has to be dark haired and italian\/jewish looking
\nRamBam:  Uhoh he’s back!
\nRabbiGadol:  But I don’t know if I should introduce them, based on what I see here.
\nYourMoralLeader:  not for long, must nude sunbathe
\nYourMoralLeader:  before the kids get home
\nRabbiGadol:  After all, "it all begins with a chat."
\nCindi:  very intelligent and edgy
\nRabbiGadol:  I’m afrain Luke is no longer thinking about finding a nice Jewish woman.
\nRabbiGadol:  Someone suitable to him.
\nCindi:  chaste in the community, opposite in private
\nRabbiGadol:  I fear for his neshama
\nRabbiGadol:  I can see him abandoning years of work in a moment of passion.
\nRabbiGadol:  But what is passion, but an attempt to wage war on nature?
\nCindi:  he’s already done that many times, lol, but he always returns to the proper ways of the shul
\nRabbiGadol:  I admit that I have no 18 year old with blue eyes to introduce to him
\nRamBam:  I do think he’s ready for a shidduch
\nRabbiGadol:  None of the Jewish women I know of who might consider such a match are young enough to be his daughter.
\nRabbiGadol:  And even the somewhat older ones are holding out for a more successful man
\nRabbiGadol:  So there is a mismatch in inventory here
\nCindi:  You can be successful without being wealthy
\nRabbiGadol:  And there lies the peril that Luke’s neshama faces.
\nRabbiGadol:  He will let it all go away for a moment or two of pleasure.
\nRamBam:  I know no women who wants an ex-porn blogger.
\nRabbiGadol:  There are some, but they are not Jewish.
\nRamBam:  But she MUST be Jewish
\nCindi:  I know many women that would want him, but not vice versa
\nRabbiGadol:  And they want a man with more material success, alas.
\nCindi:  HE is the picky one
\nRabbiGadol:  I fear that Luke is prepared to look away from his People.
\nRabbiGadol:  This saddens me greatly.
\nRamBam:  I think he has his heart set on the Emerald Isle.
\nRabbiGadol:  I fear that you are right.
\nRabbiGadol:  I urged him to attend singles events for the 40+ set, but he would not listen to me.
\nRamBam:  He may have converted but he has need of young shiksas.
\nCindi:  Luke needs a beautiful, intelligent motherly type, under 35
\nRamBam:  JEWISH don’t forget Jewish
\nRabbiGadol:  I urged him to remember Sarah, who bore a child very late in life, but Luke does not listen.
\nYourMoralLeader:  I want an Irish lass.
\nCindi:  Isn’t she the one who turned into a pillar of salt and created the dead sea? lol
\nYourMoralLeader:  Is that so wrong?
\nYourMoralLeader:  So she have the love of Christ in her bosom?
\nRabbiGadol:  All of this can be undone.  I am more certain of Luke’s committment to this strange "vegetarian" lifestyle of his than to the Jewish people.
\nCindi:  IF the right girl came along, I think LUke would become a Mormon meateater
\nRabbiGadol:  There is nothing wrong with this choice, Luke, provided you are not Jewish. 
\nRabbiGadol:  Well, maybe there is a lot still wrong with this scenario, but that is a different matter
\nRabbiGadol:  Shiksa fever.
\nYourMoralLeader:  please pray for me
\nRabbiGadol:  It has destroyed countless Jewish souls.
\nRamBam:  He thinks Sarah and about Hagar on the side
\nRabbiGadol:  This is not good.
\nRabbiGadol:  This internet is not good
\nRamBam:  He thinks about marrying sisters like Rachel & Leah
\nCindi:  Emma? Emma? Did we lose you? We need you in this conversion, I mean conversation
\nRabbiGadol:  I just don’t think it will work out.  The other rabbis are convinced it is all a sham.
\nEmma:  Im here
\nRamBam:  And doing naughty things to them.
\nCindi:  Are you and your sister single like Rachel and Lea?
\nRabbiGadol:  Emma, is there no nice strapping Irish lad in your village you can turn to for the love you crave?
\nEmma:  Single.. nothing like rachel and lea though
\nRabbiGadol:  We are afraid of losing Luke.
\nRamBam:  The problem is that they are both pretty.  Leah was not.
\nEmma:  Dont worrie about that rabbi
\nRabbiGadol:  Somewhere a Jewish woman’s heart is breaking yet again.<\/p>\n
