Customer Reviews

Interesting read...

SJF is not just another dating guide! Ms. Furman presents readers with the conflict between romantic life and religious beliefs. The subject matter in itself can lead to extremes and bias. But the author wisely manages to avoid those pitfalls and instead provokes us to examine what part faith plays in our romantic choices. Written in a light non-judgemental tone this book makes you quitely reflect on what is personally important to you.

Very Informative and a fun read!

I have read and reviewed countless books on sex and dating, but this one was new to me and quite interesting. The author, Leah Furman, approaches this topic for Jewish people. Now that is something fresh and new. She talks to them about their fears of dating outside their faith and what may happen if a relationship becomes serious in that area. She openly discusses religious background and beliefs in connection with the dating game that we all play. She talks about family and their influence and even where you may find a nice Jewish guy. Now there is a plus. In this work, you will find others that share their fears and also tell how they find remedies. I am not Jewish, but reading this book helped me to understand their beliefs more and it would truly be an asset for any single person of that faith to read. Written in a fun but clear manner, the book can be referred to time and time again as the need arises. I believe all single Jewish people would definitely find this book to be a plus in their lives.
