The latest Israeli reality show raises scores of burning questions: Do hot Israeli girls really count as Jewish? Is a half-Jewish but very pretty woman Jewish enough for the ‘rents? And why are we still entertained by the alpha male getting to choose from a gaggle of willing mates?
The Jerusalem Post suggests that if you’re looking for acknowledgment of such issues, “Mikol Habanot Ba’olam” (“Of All the Girls in the World”) is not the show for you, but if you want to be entertained by them nonetheless, just save up your shekels to receive Israel’s HOT 3 channel in your dorm room.
For the next three months, 34-year-old New York businessman, Ari Goldman, will scan a hand-picked bunch of young bachelorettes for his future wife, and all on national television. Together they’ll have to make the second-greatest decision of their lives: should they live together in the country that has the largest Jewish population in the world or should they settle for the runner-up?
First reader to email which country is which gets a copy of “The J.A.P. Chronicles” for free. Why? Because it reminds us of this show and, anyway, we want to get them off our shelves.
