  Contentlink - Shiksa Goddess   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Celebrated playwright and magnetic wit Wendy Wasserstein has been firmly rooted in New York’s cultural life since her childhood of Broadway matinees, but her appeal is universal.
Shiksa Goddess collects thirty-five of her urbane, inspiring, and deeply empathic essays–all written when she was in her forties, and all infused with her trademark irreverent humor.
Whether fretting over her figure, discovering her gentile roots, proclaiming her love for ordered-in breakfasts, lobbying for affordable theater, or writing tenderly about her very Jewish mother and her own daughter, born when she was forty-eight and single, Wasserstein reveals the full, dizzying life of a shiksa goddess with unabashed candor and inimitable style.

 ReadingGroupGuides.com - Shiksa Goddess by Wendy Wasserstein
The title of this book is Shiksa Goddess, and in the opening essay Wasserstein indirectly pokes fun at gentiles like Madeline Albright and Hillary Rodham Clinton—both of whom publicly announced that they had Jewish ancestors—by revealing her own "Episcopalian" roots.
Many of the essays in Shiksa Goddess are imbued with a deep admiration for the important people in Wasserstein’s life, from her sister and her mother to the 101-year-old director George Abbott and the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov.
While many of the essays in Shiksa Goddess are quick and lighthearted, the final two, "How I Spent My Forties" and "Days of Awe: The Birth of Lucy Jane" are longer and deal with the much weightier subjects of her sister’s terminal illness and the turmoil of her daughter’s premature birth.

Confessions of a Nervous Shiksa by Tracy McArdle
Suffice it to say that Shiksas are traditionally viewed as the attractive, mysterious, and forbidden other -- and not always in a flattering way.
So new Shiksas of the world, give the book a read and hopefully you'll be as thankfully guided along as I was.

 Shiksa   (Site not responding. Last check: )
For 1000 years, Eastern European Jews and their descendants have used the term shiksa to refer to a non-Jewish woman who lures Jewish men away from religion and family.
In fact, the myth of the shiksa goes back much further than Rabbi Friedman's reckoning.
The first lament over shiksas was directed at Isaac (Abraham's Jewish son, as distinct from his non-Jewish son, Ishmael, who married many shiksas) by Rebekah, Isaacs' wife.

 Divorcing the 'Shiksa Goddess' | BaltimoreChronicle.com
Josh Davis (Jamie) sings the Schmuel tale in an appropriate mama-lashon yiddishe accent to his wife Betsy Morgan (Cathy) on the second Christmas after their marriage.
That Jamie sings a shtetl bubbameiseh to Cathy on Christmas ought not to surprise the audience, as Jamie, well before unleashing Schmuel, had already removed his Santa cap to reveal a white kippa and sung “Shiksa Goddess” to his Catholic wife.
That regularity is really the root of “The Last Five Years.” Brown said he tried to create an effect “viewers would understand in their hearts as universal.” Davis said that he could identify the Jews in the audience, because they all laughed at the line from Shiksa Goddess, “I’m breaking my mother’s heart.
