For Papa, make him a scholar, For Mama, make him rich as a king, For me, well, I wouldn't hollar If he was as handsome as anything! Lyrics are from the Broadway show, the movie, Fiddler on the Roof. I have a friend who is a matchmaker for Orthodox Jewish singles. It’s not an easy job. She says there is a shortage of available men in the Orthodox Jewish singles world. The men marry late, take their time to get ready for marriage, and when they do finally get around to it, it's a "buyer's market" and they marry younger women, women barely out of their teens. Meanwhile, those in their mid-twenties or older are passed by, as yet another cohort of still younger women becomes available every year, and the cycle continues.* They're having a hard time finding their perfect match and it gets exponentially harder after the age of 23. This is a cause for alarm for some, and I am not exaggerating, not today. Ours is a serious culture. We don't play around in relationships. Men and women date as if they're looking for a spouse, not just a lover, because indeed, that's what they're looking for. They have time to figure out the "loving" part (sex). They figure they'll stay married for a good fifty, sixty, seventy years. They can figure it out. In the Orthodox world, it's marry first. Then jump into bed. I know, sounds bizarre. But wonderfully different, wonderfully bizarre. They're my people. I make no excuses. No, it's not 100%. Not every Orthodox young adult waits for marriage to have sex. We even hear of an occasional lovechild, now and then. But for the most part, dating really is a job interview, exactly as Tamar Snyder reminds us in Friday's Wall Street Journal (see House of Worship, Weekend section, Single Jewish Female Seeks Stress Relief). Most Orthodox kids don't even touch one another before marriage, and we have rules about touching after marriage, too. Do people break rules? Sure. But they do it quietly. Usually. If at all. Ms. Snyder is concerned, like my friend the matchmaker, that the system isn't working. There aren't enough men to go around. Those who are around are very picky. Women in their mid-twenties have to be anorexic or wait for a miracle to get the right guy to take an interest in them. And many men, my son tells me, aren't terribly skilled socially, having waited for late adolescence or young adulthood to begin to date. So it isn't easy for them, either. The relationship therapists and sociologists in New York are trying to resolve the problem, but are getting nowhere fast. Your average twenty-something single Jewish woman goes to a matchmaker, but the shadchan is fresh out of matches. The younger girls get first choice and are engaged at nineteen, married at twenty, sometimes to the first man to take them to the Hilton lobby for a Coke. You might say, Why are people still using matchmakers? Isn’t this a little silly? Well, no, not really. It seems to work for some people. Some people get exactly what they're looking for. They know everything there is to know about their catch ahead of time, or their parents at least try to find out everything there is to know. And they're happy. So when it works, it works. And in my opinion, when it works, it works not because a couple is head over heals in love with one another, or madly sexually attracted to one another, although they can be; it works because they are sure that they are compatible, that they will meet one another's needs, that they will be good to one another and raise a family, should they merit one. It's when there isn't a match, when there's a blueprint that's simply unavailable, when aren't any matches around, no pairs of pants or proper lengths of skirt, that the system finds a bottleneck of beautiful, available women who are ready to get going on a family, but can't.

The thought of watching someone gorge on super-sized portions just didn't appeal. IMDb (where I get all of my movie facts) tells us that movie filmmaker Morgan Spurlock embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. He can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must wolf down three squares a day. He must consume everything on the menu at least once and super size his meal if asked. Just not pretty. In my two dozen plus years as a therapist, I've shied away from specializing in eating disorders. By not specializing, I do very well in this area, weirdly enough. I won't specialize because frankly, everyone is sensitive about weight (everyone). And weight is very hard to treat, even with "specialist" written before or after your name. Because it's such a universal, when people tell me that they want to work on their eating I say, "You'll have to find another therapist if that's all you want to work on. I'll work with you on everything else, your behavior, your thoughts, your relationships, your organizational skill, your emotional management, anything almost, except for eating, and certainly not eating disorders. I won't set out to treat those. If they happen to change over our time together, great, but we're not setting out to cure them." Why? (a) I like success in my work, prefer to see change fast, and (b) These are the hardest disorders to "cure." So put (a) together with (b) and you get my drift. Oh, and did I mention the paradox in all this?* The truth? Eating really is an emotional affair. How can it not be emotional? It's about how we look and feel; it's so emotional that no matter how you slice it (all puns in this post may be intentional, I'm not sure yet) until you get yourself emotionally grounded, which can take years, it can be very hard, excruciatingly hard to control one's eating. This is the essence of anorexia, by the way, control. You can't make anybody eat. And far be it from me to try. And you can't make anyone lose weight, either. My patients lose weight, there's no question about it, without focusing on food as a therapeutic issue, perhaps by not focusing on food as an issue. When we spend a year (okay, more) on the emotional stuff, the pounds tend to peel off slowly, but still. It is a lovely thing to see. Two of my patients in the past year have lost over a hundred pounds each. Both had seen me for nearly three years before they started to lose. No, it's not science, but it does seem to be a pattern in my practice, maybe is for others, too. Get therapy, take it seriously, and you'll get a handle on your life. Eating is a part of life. I haven't tackled this topic on the blog until now because it's so huge, and I have so much to say about it. The only way is to begin a discussion is to focus on something in particular, and since WSJ offered me the perfect entree, let's start with Page 2, July 10, 2008, The Wall Street Journal, The Push for Calories on Menus. Apparently some states are passing laws (or trying) to force restaurant chains to list the caloric and nutritional value of items they serve on their menus. Stu Woo tells us that the California and New York state legislatures have joined a movement approved by health advocacy groups such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Other advocates for content disclosure include the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association. These organizations agree that if we tell consumers what they're eating, they'll be less likely to eat as much. Menus with caloric and nutritional information might make some foods less tempting, obviously, something restaurateurs are leery about. And they pay taxes, too, which is why state legislatures are keeping their sights low, only targeting large chains with 8 or more restaurants. Advocates believe these measures, posting calories on walls and menus, are a step towards addressing the country's obesity problems.
