Jewish Singles Come To Mingle
The Jewish Mothers International League Federation (JMILF) can sleep a little easier tonight knowing that Stand Up NY has its back. This past Tuesday we hosted a very successful Jewish mixer called ‘Date My Jewish Friend’. It was going to be called ‘Oh My God What Has My Life Come To’ but that title was already being used by an event for married Jewish women in there 20’s with four or more kids (sponsored by the local mikvah).
The night began with some innocent mingling at our elegant new bar that managed to seduce more men then the attending females. From there, the contestants were herded into our beautiful main room for an opening ceremony, likely the only ceremony they will see for a long time.
Then the speed dating began, and there are rumors that two people of the opposite sex actually exchanged numbers. These reports are unconfirmed, but, if true, would be a historic moment in both those peoples lives. Here at Stand Up NY we look forward to helping lonely people in any way we can. Except finding a date. Because some people are just hopeless.


Later we discuss the stereotype and agree that it only applies to Jewish mothers and that the real Polish mother is probably the opposite…The ambassador who has been in her post for three years is passionate about improving Israeli-Polish relations and anxious to point out that the Jewish experience in was not all suffering and victimization. There are a thousand years of Jewish history in Poland and you have to ask why – because when Poland was free and sovereign the Jews had privileges and lived well. ..She feels that Poland got a bad rap as far as Jews are concerned only when it was under foreign occupation – by the Germans during the war and the communists after the war… The whole history of Poland was rewritten she maintains.
