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