Later on, David tracks down a former JSwipe date who gives him pointers on how to attract “a nice Jewish girl.” Listen as David embraces the inherent awkwardness of analyzing one’s own dating profile. Learn with him as he navigates between his identities as a modern millennial journalist and as a secular Jewish man.
