Ruchami husband hair curls not long never grow
1. What happened to the son wanting to be a singer in a band? He just gave it up bc he heard the story of the other singer who left his family?
2. What happened to the dog the patriarch kept for his grandson so it wasn’t put down?
3. I would have liked to have seen Akiva’s reaction to his dad burning the portrait of the nursing woman. After all, that was what reunited him with his wife/cousin.
4. When the patriarch loaned money to his brother, we never heard what happened. The brother said it would be short term and we know after he asked for half the lottery winnings he said he had nothing. his fiancé broke up with him he said he had nothing.
5. Didn’t you think the money Lippe invested (from naming his baby in exchange for $$) was a scam and yet he did get it back with profit and started the restaurant?
6. I didn’t like how rushami looked at camera when holding baby girl at the end. It broke that wall between us.
7. Odd patriarch seems to want kiva married badly and then does trash every relationship. He insisted his son try to make things work with his new wife and then said they should divorce.
I don't know the answers to most of these but for question six, the way Rushami looked at the camera at the end is actually called breaking the 4th wall so your feeling is spot on. I thought it was to possibly signify the end of the series.
For question 7, I think
Shulem does want Akiva married but also fears being alone. I think he would have been happier with the marriage if he didn't find out that Racheli was bipolar.[/quote]
Not PP but .. I think it is not entirely the case. I feel that Shulem would like to live with Akiva but that is not driving his actions. It seems that like for many parents, almost no wife prospect is good enough for his son. As far as the last fake wife, he was totally fine with her and supported the choice until he found out that she was bipolar. Apparently he did not want Akiva to marry her because of that.
