There is a new site for local Orthodox Jews to go to in order to find a potential partner within the faith; the catch about this one though is that it's designed for those who have already committed elsewhere through marriage. The Post reports on the recently launched site Shaindy, named after its creator's first mistress. The Midwood founder says that he got the idea "from Hasids he met in chat rooms seeking adulterous action." He would also only give his name as "Jerry," due to fear of "rabbidinical retribution." The one rabbi the paper did talk to, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, author of "Kosher Adultery: Seduce and Sin with Your Spouse," simply said, "Adultery is going to do nothing to your marriage except destroy it." Jerry says that in its first week, already 350 members have signed up for the site, despite any naysaying from Jewish officials. He says, "Of course they are ALREADY putting pressure on this site. But this site is only intended for adults who can think for themselves and make their own judgments."

Governor David Paterson hoped his and his wife's admission that they had extramarital affairs meant that everyone could move on. Other politicians certainly want to move on and constituents generally don't think it's a big deal (Hookergate fatigue?), but now that the tabloids have license to run with it, it means details (and long cover headlines) galore!
