Great respect to these people, may them prosper and multiply.

The bride and the groom met in a grocery store six months before marriage. By some measures that is a very long engagement for Chasidim. Also first I have heard of meeting in person. My friends all had matchmakers.

So pleased to see this, although that title seems to be misleading. The Locks and Avi are very interesting characters but they both seem to be outliers in the community for different reasons, and for having chosen to take part. I also love Paddy Wivell's later doc with Gaby and Tikwah, Two Jews on a Cruise. Gabi is a handful!

I think that's always going to be the case with a lot of Hasidic content. Due to the insular nature of most Hasidic sects, you have to be a little bit of a rebel to interact with the media in a world ther discourages TV, the internet and mobile phones.

Congratulations on this project, firstly. I had no sound for the last 10 minutes, maybe that’s mentioned somewhere and I didn’t see it. That was disappointing, I really wanted to hear what Avi had to say following Tuli meeting his match in Israel? I felt very sad for Avi. The movie captures his isolation from the community, on top of the jarring remarks from the first interviewee (forgive me, I watched over a couple of days, memory issues!). So seeing Avi honouring his father in Israel, and doing so every year, I hope he is sons will do the same for him. It felt as though Avi carried a great weight because of his crime. And my heart went out to him watching how the father’s actions have such grave consequences for his children! That is such an enormous burden of shame for one person to bear in such a close community, and a community Avi seems thoroughly enmeshed in. As soon as the narrator introduced Avi early on, telling us he lived at the edge of the Stanford Hill community physically, I wondered why, and why is this family man alone. So sad. It doesn’t surprise me he takes off with the youngest who tend to misbehave annually. I hope it’s not because he’s ostracised by his peers, but from the sounds of the critical comment that was made, Avi may have served his time, but atoning in his own community is forever. Thankyou, I felt for the subjects you filmed. Wish I had that last sound portion though!

Tikwah past away in the meantime

Are these arranged marriages? The groom doesn't look happy at his wedding.

So much gossip
