LONDON, 3/23/1999: A Rabbi who caused a storm in Britain with his book "Kosher Sex" is now promoting a new handbook: "Dating Secrets of the Ten Commandments.."
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's book, subtitled "Keep taking the tablets and find your perfect soulmate," says biblical laws provide the best guide to finding lifelong love.
The rabbi resigned from his London synagogue after "Kosher Sex," which said sexual gratification is essential for a successful relationship, outraged his Orthodox Jewish congregation.
Boteach, 32, who is married with six children, told the London Times that the 10 commandments were the most famous guide to living ever devised.
"They lend themselves to the rules of relationships," he said.

Boteach does have the right idea, at least as far as "relationships" are concerned: Scripture's precepts are the best tool for building healthy relationships (both between you and God and between you and other humans) ever written.
