t was a simple question — re-
peated time and time and time
again — that inspired Anne-
Marie Brumm's book.
The author made aliyah in
1980, and whenever she returned
for a visit to the United States,
women would invariably ask, 'Do
you think, you know, if I went to
Israel to live I could get some-
body?"
Well, maybe.
"There are many good men,
and some women are successful
in finding them," the author says.
"But the naive and trusting
American girl must also be aware
of manipulators who are only
looking for a good time or for a
way to emigrate to the United
States." (One way to set the record
straight on the last issue, she
says, is to "tell him very emphat-
ically that you want to make
aliyah and intend to stay in Israel
forever.")

Come Drink Coffee With
Me (Widener & Lewis) is Ms.

Brumm's answer to those "end-
less scores of women" (most of
them from the United States and
Great Britain) in search of an Is-
raeli husband.
Filled with true stories of un-
appealing men who answer per-
sonal ads and Israeli soldiers
convinced they are the most irre-

migrant!). Her conclusion
about Israeli men: "If
you're over 40, you have
a greater chance of being
in a terrorist attack than
finding a good man."
And getting used to Is-
rael itself is a challenge,
Debbie warns.
"Superficially," she sur-
mises (and pretty quickly
on in the game), "Israel
looked like the United
States or any Western
country. Yet the longer
one lived here and the
deeper one plunged into
the culture, the more one
began to understand that
there were many major
differences in the lifestyle,
behavior and values sys-
tems of the two coun-
tries."

In Who's Who in Jewish His-
tory (Oxford University Press),
Joan Comay offers a brief biog-
raphy of more than 1,000 figures
from 20 centuries of Jewish his-
tory. It's a great introduction to
some of the most interesting men
and women in the world, and also
provides an excellent way to im-
press your dates without doing
too much work. ("Oh, you're ex-
aggerating; I'm not that smart.
Everyone knows about David Al-

Among the figures sighted:
Isaac of Aachen, Charlemagne's
Jewish envoy; Bela Kun, former
dictator of Hungary; Emmanuel
Litvinoff, the British author who
wrote a rebuttal of t.s. eliot's anti-
Semitism; and irascible critic
George Jean Nathan.

Jewish figures, Babs fans every-
