Ask Rhonda: Handling Jewish Guilt
Dear Rhonda,
One of my best friends is extremely high maintenance and uses guilt when I don’t return phone calls within four hours. Whenever I confront him about it he always has the same answer, “It’s a Jewish thing…I can’t help it.” I love him to death, but as a non-Jew, I don’t get it. How can I get him off my back? Thanks.

Dear John;
My reply to your naive, yet charming little question is going to be as comforting to you as a real “Dear John” letter. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do. Whilst my column was designed to help those in need with helpful tidbits of advice and guidance, Rhonda’s talents and experience are no match for a case of good ole fashioned, eight-thousand year old Jewish guilt. And you wanna know why? Because it works. My advice is that you return his calls within three hours and let someone else take all his grief. And trust me, someone will…
Mazel Tov,
Rhonda

While I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is any method for you to remove me from that service? Thanks!

What would most of us do devoid of the magnificent thoughts you share on this website? Who comes with the tolerance to deal with essential topics in the interest of common readers like me? My spouse and i and my pals are very fortunate to have your website among the ones we often visit. Hopefully you know how much we enjoy your efforts! Best wishes from us all.
