A guide to dating Jews earns author ‘Nazi’ tag
Kristina Grish has been described as a ‘Nazi’ and little better than a prostitute. Her crime: writing a light-hearted, non-Jewish women’s guide to understanding Jewish men.
On websites and letters pages in Israel and the United States, Jewish women have railed at Grish, an American Protestant, accusing her of making it harder for them to find a Jewish man and trying to destroy Judaism.
On the surface, Boy Vey! The Shiksa’s Guide to Dating Jewish Men, has little in common with Mein Kampf, but Grish has touched the insecurity of some Jews who feel that marrying outside their religion will lead to its gradual erosion.
