Dear Goldy:

I need to know how to help my brother. He’s 43 and doesn’t know how to date, which is why he’s still single. I love and think the world of him. I want him to find his bashert, who will love and appreciate him as he deserves.

I try to keep this column light. There’s enough that we’re all dealing with in the world, and it’s nice to have a distraction for a few minutes. But there are times I need to get serious and address specific topics. I still want people to read my column as an escape from their worries, but this letter caught my eye and so I published it. It deals with Israel and the war, as well as dating.
