Chapter Nine

Engagement of Aaron and Shulamit announced at congregational Chanukah dinner.

The jeweler said to him, “Rabbi Adler, you are among friends here and I can be frank with you. Word in the shul is that you have your eye on Shulamit Levine. You might be thinking of some engagement ring for the girl. Much as I would value your money, it would be right for me to advise you not to waste it. A girl like Shulamit would never wear anything that you could afford to buy for her. I spoke to Abe Levine and he inquired about a ring of up to $100,000.”

“I am fully aware of that. For reasons best known to her, however, she wants me to buy her a ring with my own money and she will treasure it as much as the ring her millionaire father will buy.”

“In that case,” Goldstein replied, “I will do the best I can for you. Do you know her size?”

“She told me to get her a size seven. Find me the best stone for $2,000 and I will pay extra for a nice setting.”

“OK, then, come back in a few days and I will show you some selections. If you choose one of them, you can have the complete ring by the middle of next week.”

Aaron followed instructions and was able to take a very nice ring home with him the following week.

A week after Shula returned to school, she started receiving congratulations from her girlfriends. She wondered why she was suddenly getting such warm greetings until one of her friends showed her the weekly issue of school paper, Law School Briefs. The paper was put out by a student, Andrea Cohen, who was majoring in legal studies connected to journalism. She had a lot of experience with student newspapers and had majored in journalism at her undergraduate college. At the university, she organized a staff of students interested in school journalism and they put out one issue each week. The law school subsidized the student paper because it served the interest of the school in unifying the student body and providing a wholesome outlet for student thought.

Besides her journalistic capabilities, Andrea Cohen had a lot of other advantages. She was a tall and very attractive woman with a flashy smile and a pleasant voice. She used her assets to extract information from every possible source.

On the first page of the paper was a lead article headlined, “Campus Queen No Longer Eligible.” The three line subheading read, “Shula Levine reveals that she is now going steady with an Orthodox rabbi.” The article itself read:
