In my campaign to bring goodness to the world I’ve agreed to post any shidduch resume that gets sent to me, the following is from a divorcee with children who happens to be a Cohen. Being a Cohen has it’s pluses, you have a perfectly good excuse to ask the shadchan about the girls and you’ll get a lot of free barbeque in a few thousand years from now. The downside is that you have to lead benching quite a bit, get that darned first aliyah and may have a pretty tough time finding a girl over the age of 30 who isn’t considered slut halachically. Now enter into this picture the halachically sanctioned double standard of the divorced cohen, that guy who has the gall not to marry divorcee’s or zona’s.
Now if I were a divorced cohen, I would have the kickest ass shidduch resume there is, which is why I’m quite bothered by the shidduch resume that follows. It is incomplete according to my wife, but my quick judgements brought me to believe that this fellow was just one boring ass guy. Based on who our mutual friends are on Facebook, I have to be dan l’kaf z’chus and assume that this fellow is super awesome and just doesn’t have anyone to show him the art of shidduch resume writing. For instance he doesn’t write anything about his interests or what he wants in a mate, there is basically more information on who to contact than about who to set him up with, basically it’s the most boring lame shidduch resume one can come up with. Sounds like the scourge of the yeshivish dating process coming to bat.He is a good looking dude (if I saw him on my jaunts to grindr, I’d pick him up) and his kids are cute.

I randomly met this guy out Saturday night. I was at a birthday party, he was having a “3rd anniversary of his divorce” party. And he wasn’t that friendly. Just saying.

Abbey: You are not a nice person. I sure hope I never have the misfortune of meeting you.

well havent been divorced for 3 years yet… but constructive criticism is always helpful. o ye and maybe i just had a little too much on my mind?!

and thanks for the back up guys takes only one gal to break a guy down and make him run crying
Abbey January 16, 2013 at 3:33 pm
Wow, sorry. Didn’t mean to be mean. Most people think I’m pretty nice actually. I was just pointing out that I was actually being super friendly to Moshe when I met him because I thought he was cute and he totally burned me. But maybe he didn’t even realize that I was chatting him up. It happens. Sorry kid.
moshe morrison January 16, 2013 at 4:05 pm
sorry to hear this there was a lot going on and i just didn’t realize. Still dont know who you are. You can always message me on facebook to chat…

Maybe because I am the one non-frum (but getting stronger) girl reading this blog, but this guy sounds not so bad. Or maybe just looks really cute in his pic. Either way, would like to know more…

pretty sure there are tons of non-frum reading this blog
aw, do we need to diss? January 15, 2013 at 7:46 pm
This guy has the guts to send in his resume because he would like to meet someone special.. must we break this dude down?
Heshy Fried January 15, 2013 at 8:24 pm
Actually I told him that just posting a resume doesn’t get any attention, so he agreed to let me have my way with it. I figured if he can’t get a date, at least he may get some poon.
moshe morrison January 16, 2013 at 1:24 pm
i prefer to say it took guts rather than you snaking me into this….
tziporah January 15, 2013 at 7:54 pm
he can marry a girl older then him too…ask him if he is open to it…ill keep him in mind…
Anonymous January 15, 2013 at 8:53 pm
sure message me on face book if anything comes up, thanks
me January 15, 2013 at 8:04 pm
I met Moshe at a singles event a friend and I ran about a year ago. hes a great guy! i would definitely set him up in a heartbeat if I knew an eligible girl.
Another Kohen January 15, 2013 at 8:14 pm
You got one thing wrong about the the first aliyah, Being a Kohen means that you only have to listen out for your name by the firs aliyah, If you didnt get called by the first aliya, your off scot free. although there always the occasional maftir.
zeek January 15, 2013 at 9:09 pm

I love your blog, but you MUST have someone proofread before you post.
Anonymous January 16, 2013 at 3:22 am
It’s “Shuls” no apostrophe. Grammatical errors in shidduch resumes are such a turn-off! Points for having a very cool job though.
moshe morrison January 16, 2013 at 1:25 pm
good thing i have the excuse that i didn’t write this but than again i would not have caught that if i had proof read it. thanks for the props on the job.

it’s “but THEN again” and not “but than again” …and bekarov etselcha!

There are 3 kids on the facebook page?
For MO, TMI for the family backround.
moshe morrison January 16, 2013 at 1:29 pm
1 is my niece, better looking ones are mine. I didn’t write this, as I’ve never had to shidduch date and i’d never seen a shidduch profile before i had a friend write one up for me. With all this great constructive criticism im getting i think i just may have to make a new one.
SG January 16, 2013 at 4:13 pm
Ok, I see. You might also want add relationship to people you put down as references. Good luck!
CoCo Han January 16, 2013 at 10:37 am
Cohen friendly is an interesting term of phrase. A Zonah for Cohen marriage purposes is any woman who has “been” with a man she cannot marry i.e. a non Jew. Halachically, therefore, a girl who has been with 200 men can marry a Cohen provided all 200 of them were Jewish. Conversely, a girl who has been with one guy once who wasn’t Jewish is forbidden to this man, even if the one time was by force. A harsh rule. But then there is the gray area, what about “don’t ask, don’t tell”? If a woman has been with a non-Jew but there were no Kosher witnesses, no other evidence of such an act, who is to stop her from claiming she’s Cohen eligible and marrying this guy?
SG January 16, 2013 at 4:15 pm
She might feel guilty (if she is normal) that she is hiding this from her husband.
Nachman weiss January 17, 2013 at 5:21 am
If a woman slept with a NOn Jew she can marry a Kohane if she keeps quiet about it – Per R” Moshe
Don’t ask Don’t tell applies – but if she lives with a Non Jew then it become public knowledge and she is out of luck
That is my understandin
DannyBoy January 16, 2013 at 12:56 pm
Heshy what are you doing on Grindr?
OrthoFeminist January 16, 2013 at 1:37 pm
So, he’s still looking for someone Kohen eligible, but doesn’t care if the girl isn’t frum. He’s divorced, but since he wants Kohen eligible, is refusing to date a divorced woman…or one that’s slept with a non-Jew. Sounds like he’s playing in to some major double standards to me.
moshe morrison January 16, 2013 at 1:41 pm
I wouldn’t date someone who is not frum!
OrthoFeminist January 16, 2013 at 2:00 pm
I say that based upon your conversation with “Interested” above.
moshe morrison January 16, 2013 at 2:16 pm
dont assume, i never stated “lets date”. I would only date someone who is fully religious shomer shabbos and kashruth.
Klonimous January 16, 2013 at 2:21 pm
“one non-frum (but getting stronger)” that would not be a classical non-frum girl. It seems like she’s interested in a frummer lifestyle.
Anonymous January 16, 2013 at 6:37 pm
Can someone clarify exactly what “action” with a non-jew makes a woman not Kohen eligible? Is it only actual penetration or any other “activities”?
Anonymous January 16, 2013 at 6:55 pm
from what i’ve learned its penetration
moshe morrison January 17, 2013 at 4:55 pm
the conversations that “anonymous”…. can have gotta love it
Michael McG January 17, 2013 at 2:23 pm
He’s not a Kohen; he’s a Morrison.
Holmes January 19, 2013 at 8:38 pm
“Director, Kosher Foods-Fairway Markets.”
This is almost like “Director of Vegan Affairs” for Peter Luger.

Heshy, there is too much of his personal information posted here.
You need to remove at least his full birthday and mother’s middle name.

How does he treat his ex? Big question to ask a divorcee . Is he amicable or an asshole towards her?
