Ask Shuli: Non-Jewish boyfriend meets Bubbe?

Ask your girlfriend—or better yet, call and ask her grandmother—what you can bring to dinner. If they say “Nothing,” at least bring a bottle of wine. No Manischewitz, please. A mellow merlot will be a big hit. If you’re gainfully employed, a nice bottle of Crown Royal for grandpa is a good insurance plan.

Announcing “Ask Shuli”: for Jewish questions you can’t ask Bubbe

“Ask Shuli” is TC Jewfolk’s yiddishe equivalent of Dear Abby or my personal favorite, Ask Amy, with a healthy dose of guilt sprinkled in. If you’ve ever wondered how the hell (sorry, momala) to explain Simchat Torah to your non-Jewish boss, ask Shuli. Or, is pre-marital sex good for the Jews? What’s keeping your pretty little keppe (head) up at night? What’s fueling your Happy Hour conversations? I’m here to answer your questions… And I’m just like you. Only cuter.
