Where Are All the Pretty Girls?

PURIM PARTY - stand-up comedy, catered dinner, Sunday March 20 - stay tuned   Question of the Week:    I am open to being set up with girls and have been on a few blind dates. But it's going nowhere. I'm just not attracted to the girls I'm set up with. Are there no good-looking girls around?   Answer:   You remind me of an old friend of mine. A few years back we were walking down a main street in Brooklyn talking about the dating scene. He complained, "Every girl I am set up with I find unattractive."   Then he nodded towards a girl across the road and said, "Why can't someone introduce me to someone like her?"   At that moment the girl crossed the street and walked straight past us.   "Oh," my friend whispered, "I did go out with her!"   We can be so kind in our judgment of strangers on the street, while being so harsh on the person we are dating. If she doesn't knock our socks off with her dazzling beauty, then we go into ultra-critic mode, waiting to pounce on any little flaw that we can find and say, "She's not for me."   I'm sure you have had the experience of meeting someone who at first didn't seem attractive, but as their personality unfolded their beauty emerged and you became attracted. Equally, we have all met someone who at first struck you by their beauty, but as you got to know them better an ugly side of their personality surfaces, and their beauty is soured.   A person is a multi-layered being, a soul as well as a body. These layers overlap and influence each other. An inner charm can spill over into outer beauty. An attractive inside makes someone more attractive on the outside too. Allow someone to share their whole being and you may surprise yourself and find that a deeper attraction develops after all.   Of course you need to be attracted to your wife. But she doesn't have to knock your socks off. (And by the way, she doesn't have to pick them up after you either). Better find someone who leaves your socks right where they are, but draws your heart closer and closer as her inner self is revealed.   View your date as a soul, not just a body. Then you will find beauty is not to be found across the street, but sitting right in front of you.   Good Shabbos, Rabbi Moss   To subscribe email rabbimoss@nefesh.com.au   SAVE A LIFE SUNDAY at Nefesh March 13 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Classes www.bina.com.au ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Meaningful Motherhood for MOTHERS and BABIES with Mrs Nechama Dina Moss and Shternie Dadon Discussion group for mothers 10:00-11:00am Mondays 7 Feb - 4 April Nefesh 54 Roscoe St, Bondi Beach     Kabbalah - Song of the Soul for MEN and WOMEN with Rabbi Moss A mystical approach to prayer 8:15-9:30pm Tuesdays 8 Feb - 8 March Nefesh 54 Roscoe St   Ethics for Life for MEN and WOMEN with Rabbi Yaacov Chaiton Artificial Insemination, Test Tube Babies, Surrogacy, Gender Assignment and more... 8:15-9:15pm Wednesdays 9 Feb - 30 March     Character Development: De-Stressing for WOMEN with Rabbi Gourarie Understanding the sources of stress and practical strategies to overcome it 9:20-10:15am Thursdays 3 Feb - 31 March 45 Bellevue Rd   Lunch in the City: STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW for MEN and WOMEN with Rabbi Moss Cases of conflict and collaboration between Jewish and secular law Thursdays 1:00-2:00pm Arnold Bloch Leibler Level 24 Chifley Towers Sydney   And much more, see www.bina.com.au     NEFESH SERVICES - 54 Roscoe St Bondi Beach  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Friday Candlelighting 7:20pm (not before 6:17pm)   6:10pm Mincha  6:30pm - 7:15pm Shabbos Service followed by Kiddush sponsored anonymously by a friend - Thank you!   Shabbos day 9am Class on Weekly Parsha 10am -12:15pm Morning Service with kids program followed by Kiddush in honour of the birth of Shira Zelazne, sponsored by her parents Darren and Yamit - Mazel tov!  Shiur 6:30pm Mincha 7:15pm folllowed by Sholosh Seudos and Maariv Shabbos ends 8:15pm Sunday 8am Shachris followed by beginners' Talmud and breakfast    Monday  7am Shachris followed by Chassidus Thursday 7am Shachris
