Dates and relationships in Jewish ultra-orthodox communities | "A Match Made In Heaven" (2014)

For the first time orthodox Jewish people in Israel allow a camera to enter their personal lives on an intimate level, enabling us to discover the wisdom behind their way of life, so perhaps we can apply some of it to ours. A look at relationships between men and women, between singles and their friends, and between them and their families. The story is plot-based, with scenes that lead from one protagonist to the next in their search for a worthy mate.

Dating and matchmaking in the "Haredi" (ultra-orthodox Jewish) world has always been mysterious and intriguingly different from the secular world. At a time when the institution of marriage in the modern secular world is about to go bankrupt - increasing divorce rates, infidelity, the trend of extended bachelorhood, single parenting, etc. - the question arises: where are we going wrong? And what is it about Haredi relationships that keeps them strong and stable? How does it work?
In the documentary "A Match Made in Heaven" we explore the world of matchmaking in the different sectors of the Haredi world and observe couples in different stages of relationships, and through them we learn about their behavior, philosophy, and the key to a happy relationship and marriage.
Through the participants' stories we learn the values of relationships and marriage according to Judaism and how they actually apply them - so different from secular attitudes (falling in love as opposed to love which comes with time; the women's role in relationships; the man's role; sexuality).

It's hilarious: " Listen, all knuckleheads, there is a lot to LEARN, from watching this. There are likeable people, some, not so much. But...Lots of people to LIKE. Those who like razor thin margins for error, as in adventure shows, can definitely benefit from looking at human decision making. In short, there's nothing NOT TO LIKE. No one is remotely suggesting you follow their exact methods. Just take the focus OFF the methods and look at the people as a whole.As individuals. I see sincerity, a sense of duty, staunch, staunch (did i say staunch?) religious observation. We should be the same way on what we call the basics Tenets of Life."

My husband and I met by accident, but we still handled dating this way. The day we met we ended knowing exactly what the other wanted out of life. During that dating period we met each others families and they got to know us on our own and together. We met each others friends and they gave opinions. There was no "well maybe I want this" or "I'm not so sure" it was all "this is what I want and expect". We've been together for 18 years now and no regrets.

I think he really wants to be married but would do better in a regular dating scenario. Dating should be like trying on shoes. Find a pair that is comfy, that looks good on you and that you can wear forever. Might take a few rounds. You might wear a pair for a bit and like them at first but they might suck a few months later. Their culture expects them to just jump into marriage questions on the first date. I think he is struggling more with honoring his traditions while wanting to do what he feels would be best for him.

[@andreaskuckuck5829]

I think he clarified it very well at the second dating, that he is very insecure, and open about the whole dating process and in fact he is obviously very rebellious and worried to what this may lead for both of them because he wants the best for the both of them. I think he is a very witty and sensitive person who is just looking for a girl who acknowledges and appreciates that, and being witty herself.

@@blackhole-chan4619 sorry but saying that "back in the days blind marriages worked fine" is a blatant lie.

[@blackhole-chan4619]

@@BenefitCounterbench There's a difference between 'forced' and 'arranged' marriages. What is shown in the video is not forced, it's arranged by family, the participants choose whether or not to move forward with it. >It's well-known that keeping a lover beside a spouse became a thing because forced marriages sucked. People still do this even in western society where you're free to be as promiscuous as you want. Marriage rates have gone down drastically, just because people 'choose' who they date, doesn't mean they're more committed or happy. Dating as a whole is a minefield in today's age. If dating actually worked, divorce rates surely would be at record lows would they not? In theory, women get to choose who they marry and same with men, they should be happier, but no. Divorce rates are at record highs, people go through dozens of partners and they lose their ability to pairbond successfully with one person, which increases the rate of divorce. Also, arranged marriages are statistically more longer lasting and happier than 'love' marriages.

I sure hope the marriage goes well for the couple though. What was the lawyer lady's name? What a beautiful person she is! What a shame that her reason for divorcing her husband was not made known by the dating agency! She divorced him because he did not read the Torah, she did it so soon,so she would not be pregnant and have to stay with him, because she said she wanted a husband that would read the Torah to the children. A beautiful, gentle, intelligent sweet lady and she is bypassed because the dating agency arent doing the job right!

Wow, "Do you see yourself as the breadwinner so your husband can study?" I've lived in Jerusalem, but was never aware that the Ultra Orthodox expected their wives to bear a shitton of children, cover their hair, not be ALLOWED to study in the same way men do - A N D support them. I had an Orthodox Kaballah teacher and he was being super radical for teaching a woman. We had to meet for class in the lobby of the King David, but he was fantastic. Loved him. I'm blown away that males don't go to high school, even. Just freaking wow. I know a few folks who were born Orthodox and left.

For and to whom is the arm of Lord revealed ? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath No form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a men of sorrows , and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our grief , and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was all . He was oppressed , and he was afflicted , yet he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter , and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openers not his mouth. He was taken from prison From judgment: and who shall declare this generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living: for he was cutting off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence , neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him ; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall see his seed , he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul , and shall be satisfied : by His knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many ; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore Will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the spoil with the strong ; because he hath pored out his soul unto death : and he was numbered with the transgressor ; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The girl isn't too stupid so she says she will need a minute to think, the dad continues to be an intimidating jerk and says you can even have 2 minutes. The mom asks if the girl wants a drink, the girl says no thanks, the mom says I'll get you some anyway so you won't say you weren't treated while over here, when she declines once more the mom insists you better have some so my son doesn't have to spend money on you getting you a drink while you are out.
