meet again episode 3

  • 1:41 - 1:43
    I'm entering into the world of
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    shidduchim (dating for marriage) for
  • 1:45 - 1:45
    my sons.
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    Your name is, Yael? --Yael
  • 1:48 - 1:49
    Yael Mizrachi
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    I have quadruplet sons
  • 1:52 - 1:53
    Ah, mazal tov
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    And they are 21 now
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    this is when they were born
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    Rav Ovadia Yosef was their sandak
  • 2:00 - 2:00
    Wow
  • 2:01 - 2:02
    We are neighbors
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    Oh, how fun, what a privilege
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    This is how they look today
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    Ben Tsion, Yosef, Shlomo, and Yishai
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    What sweethearts
  • 2:11 - 2:12
    They're very sweet
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    I've been praying for their marriages
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    since the day they were born
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    I went through each stage, but shidduchim
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    always scared me
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    and with God's help, I want to marry off
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    all 4 of them
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    Just like their brises were together...
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    Maybe you'll find me quadruplet girls
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    The whole topic of shidduchim is very hard
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    for me. Their attitude towards
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    "older singles," meaning that a guy or
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    young woman, who are actually a boy and
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    a girl, who are over 21 are past their
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    prime. We need to mourn and pray
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    as though...what are you talking about?!
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    I need somebody...her priority needs
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    to be "I'm marrying a man of Torah"
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    of sacrificing for the Torah. These are
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    young men for whom Torah is of supreme
  • 3:04 - 3:05
    value. Do you want to start?
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    Let's start with Ben Tsion
  • 3:07 - 3:08
    Where does he study?
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    He studies at Hebron Yeshiva
  • 3:09 - 3:13
    Yes? --A boy who's clever, cute, very
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    smart. Learns very nicely
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    He's the heart of the home
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    Wherever you need him, he's there
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    Then we come to Shlomo, who studies in
  • 3:21 - 3:22
    TIfrach.
  • 3:22 - 3:26
    Marriage market. The mother is trying to
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    sell her sons.
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    Why is this the parents' decision at all?
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    You take such a sensitive matter, marriage
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    Which is a beautiful, romantic thing
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    And they make it into a kind of commerce
  • 3:41 - 3:42
    You're helping to marry them off?
  • 3:42 - 3:44
    Look, what do you mean by "helping"? We're
  • 3:44 - 3:48
    not people of financial abundance.
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    What should I match you up with?
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    For example, I'll call somebody "Listen,
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    I have a suggestion." So she'll say,
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    "OK, I'm prepared to give this
  • 3:56 - 3:58
    "What are they giving?" I need answers
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    They talk about this matter right away?
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    They get to it. That's the reality. You
  • 4:02 - 4:03
    can't get around it. --Right
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    Look, of course we'll commit to...and
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    we'll take loans, but this...
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    But we're talking about minor sums
  • 4:10 - 4:10
    I understand
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    I'm not talking about an apartment at all
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    I'm talking about helping them
  • 4:15 - 4:18
    I don't think there can be a connection
  • 4:18 - 4:19
    between Yael and me.
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    She's a stranger, whom I don't know
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    Who represents in my eyes everything that
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    caused my being cut off from my son
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    Who represents the society that I am so
  • 4:29 - 4:33
    angry at. And I question whether this is
  • 4:33 - 4:36
    the woman who can help me get Omer back
  • 4:36 - 4:38
    I'll think about several possibilities.
  • 4:38 - 4:39
    With God's help
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    I've challenged you, huh? --Yes, totally
  • 4:42 - 4:45
    Fascinating--great.-Thanks very much
  • 4:45 - 4:46
    Let's see if it's really possible
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    to create a real conversation between
  • 4:49 - 4:50
    2 extremely different worlds
