local heroes

last friday i quietly shlapped nachus when i personally knew two of the people behind Haaretz' anglofile main feature articles . while this is not so strange in the small village that is jerusalem i kind of liked the serendipity that beverley and grayson appeared in the same edition.

while you couldnt choose two people who were further apart in political stance, feminist and social ideology, religious observance and marital status they do have three things in common
1) They are both 33 (and thus slightly senior to ms 32andthensome).
2) They are gutsy members of my generation who are passionate about all they do including doing their bit for the "jewish single crisis".
3) I was an early guinea pig for both their enterprises although i shan't reveal at this stage which has brought me more pleasure and satisfaction.
