Love-a-Mensch Week
No, I’m not kidding. And yes, I wish I were.
Leave it to JDate and love coach Robin Gorman Newman to bring you this week, which just so happens to lead up to Valentine’s Day. Coincidence?
According to a PR Newswire alert, JDate asked members to select their favorite single celebrity mensches. “Mensches are the people that every mother would love,” said Robin Gorman Newman, creator of ‘Love a Mensch Week’ and author of “How to Marry a Mensch.”
Women prefer Braff. Of course. Zach Braff got 27% of the vote. Then, the poll gets a little strange. Sex and the City’s Mr. Big himself, Chris Noth (since when is he Jewish? Maybe he just fits Newman’s definition…) gets 20% of the vote, same as #3 pick, Howard Stern. (What? I know.) Then we’ve got Brody (Adrien), Brody (Adam) and Brooks (Al, which I can only imagine refers to Albert Brooks).
And the men like themselves some Portman–Natalie ranked at 46%, with Sarah Silverman and Lisa Loeb rounding out the top three. (Trailing these three are Winona Ryder–still, guys?–and Jamie Lynn Sigler.)
How am I not ever on this list? Oh yeah. Not a celebrity. Yet.
Oh, and by the way…not for nothing, as they say, but: Braff, dating a non-Jew; Portman, loves Israel but is always dating non-Jews; Silverman, dating Jimmy Kimmel. There are more, but I don’t want to depress myself. Again, not that there’s anything wrong with finding love. I mean, most of the commenters here are looking for that same thing, but you understand my issue…
Kimmel’s not Jewish???
Mr. Big (Chris Noth) and Howard Sterm??? oh good grief they are far from menches especialy Stern but thats just me.
I agree with the Zack Braff thing.

Chris Noth is a big Israel supporter, and as long as he was on that mensch list and not the character of Mr. Big (that slimy rat bastard), it’s ok with me.
Zach Braff loses points in my book for not only dating a shiksa, but dating the uber-annoying, utterly boring, mostly untalented Mandy Moore.
Why isn’t Debra Messing on the list? She rawks, AND she married a yid.
