HUNDREDS of young Israeli women hoping to find themselves a husband have been placing their underwear on the tomb of a venerated rabbi in the hopes that their marriage prayers will be answered.
Would-be Israeli brides leave intimate offering for rabbi Around 400 pairs of knickers and bras have been collected from the grilles of the tomb's window or on the branches of nearby trees by the authorities charged with preserving the final resting place of Rabbi Yenothan Ben Uziel in the Amuka region of northern Israel, the Maariv daily reported on Sunday.
According to Jewish tradition, anyone who is unmarried will meet their soulmate and marry within a year if they visit his tomb.
However Rabbi Israel Deri, in charge of protecting holy sites in the north, told the paper that the women's prayers would go unanswered.
edit :
I wonder what happens to all the underwear collected - auctioned off on www.poonhound.com ?

I think they are after Jews though.
If your 30ish then NZ is where you want to go, apparently they are having something of a 'man drought' for women around their 30s or older.
