From the outside, I can imagine why the situations here looks infinitely better here than in LA (or even better than the UWS).<BR/><BR/>The depressing side is when those find themselves entrenched in the "swamp" for year after year without finding a spouse.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that aliya is in your lexicon, and look forward to when you will move here.<BR/><BR/>Regards - Chanuka Sameach!<BR/><BR/>--JameelJameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-19120471389775806462008-12-25T15:50:00.000+02:002008-12-25T15:50:00.000+02:00I am visiting Israel and just heard about the and ...I am visiting Israel and just heard about the and watched the first episode online. I don't understand hebrew but understood what was happening. I and from Los Angeles and the orthodox singles community is small. I wish we had group of single professionals to associate with. I know many men who eat alone. This show is beatiful and not depressing. It reminds of when I lived in the UWS. Now bring to America. A real positive view of orthodox single professionals.

I regularly made kiddush at my shabbas table when I was single (the difference is, no one batted an eye) and most of my friends would have responded similarly to Micha's oh-so romantic marriage proposal.
