Before I Became Frum

Before I Became Frum: "If you mentioned Hashkafa to me before I became frum I would have had no idea whatsoever what your were talking about, however I might have said 'oh, I hope she feels better soon.'

Before I became frum if I happened to be dating a divorced woman with children, I would have thought oh great the ex gets the kids every weekend. Now that I am frum, 'your ex gets the kids every weekend?! Shabbos too?! Is he frum? What's his Hashkafa?"

JDaters Anonymous: "Revisiting JSinglesSpace and the Continuity Cafe
7/14/2008

The piece below originally appeared as part of the Jewish Week’s “Big Ideas” Issue in December of 2006 and decried a lack of research on Jewish singles and suggested a center for research of single life which could double as a young community center and living space for single Jews.

Very recently, researcher Steven M Cohen produced “Uncoupled: How Our Singles are Reshaping Jewish Engagement,” a study about unmarried 20-somethings and 30-somethings and their habits regarding connection to Jewish life."
