A Kosher Dating Odyssey tracks the progress of the authors jolting changes in belief as he enters the world of dating pre- and post-Internet. Van Wallach is the product of a small-town Texas upbringing, a Princeton education and years of New York City and posh Connecticut living. The stories of his pursuit of romance-from Brooklyn to Brazil and beyond-provide a wry, revealing, and distinctly male perspective on Jewish online dating. Raised a Southern Baptist, Wallach found himself drawn to his parents Jewish heritage and the women who embodied it. To meet the special challenges of online dating, he took a marketers approach to packaging his unique background into a memorable screen name and profile. His book explores the highs and heartbreaks of dating the 'smart, vulnerable and shtetl-lovely' Jewish women he met and adored after he left Texas. As he follows his muse far afield, he analyzes Jewish body image his and hers , calculates ROEI Return on Emotional Investment , identifies the sexiest Jewish movies hint: his three favorites all have subtitles , engages in edgy encounters with 'the competition' in the quest for a fair maideles hand, and contemplates the role of Jewish faith in times of difficulties. Part memoir, part how-to, and partly just off-the-wall, A Kosher Dating Odyssey will appeal to anyone who is interested in journeys of both the spirit and the flesh.
