[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just started watching and came here to ask a question.

What was the problem with the frum woman in NYC (Faye) and the man she was matched with?

They seemed to really be well suited for each other. I didn't really understand what her objection to him was. I am not Jewish... it was something about, he didn't want to pray three times a day? He didn't want to be a learning boy?

What was it she wanted him to do, and why was it sooooooooo important to her?

What would a similar religious difference be in, say, Catholicism? Did she need his participation in certain religious daily rituals in order to have a lifestyle she wanted?[/quote]

Re:learning boy.  Being a Torah scholar gives certain prestige in some circles.  Not everyone cares, even among the more observant people, but, apparently, she does.  It’s like having a high ranking position in some public interest serving institution - there are many places that pay way more and provide a better lifestyle, but for many people this is the dream[/quote]

It felt like more than that - she wanted him to pray in minyan with her father and brothers? It seemed like being a part of that was what was important to her. She wanted him to be part of the prayer community that her family was in, maybe?[/quote]
