[quote=Anonymous][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]

I grew up orthodox. Weird that it was a sticking point for her at 29 (?). In the ultra orthodox world, that’s an age where you start compromising. In the end it seemed like he couldn’t deal with the pressure of her expectations, not that she was necessarily demanding it. She probably should have been more flexible from the beginning to cast a wider net. [/quote]

yeah, a PP may be right - she may just not even be that attracted to men.[/quote]
