In my work I sometimes order genetic analyses, and I’ve been told to be more liberal with these if the patient is an Ashkenazi Jew. (Some relevant gene variants are more common in this community than in the majority population of my country.) I wasn’t familiar with the term, and figured it was a group size-wise similar to the Hasidic community - some 130k people worldwide. It took me watching #JewishMatchMaking to learn that I was off the mark by a factor 100. A reminder as good as any to stop making assumptions when ignorant on a subject and Google instead.

Ep. 34 is an exclusive interview with #netflix #jewishmatchmaking star Stuart Chaseman. While TikToks declared him a role model to emulate, conservative pundit Ben Shapiro singled him out for only wanting to #date women with liberal values. What Stuart has to say to Ben Shapiro, how Stuart experienced his own Beatlemania moment at a Jewish-Greek food festival in NYC, why a girlfriend lied to him for two years about her political views, and much more can be found on this #podcast episode!

I never knew that Jewish Matchmaking involved so many different aspects, like… eyebrows! I guess everyone has their preferences, and we saw that this is definitely an important one for Dani! My latest TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRwEas3a/
Or if you prefer to see eyebrows on YouTube instead, you can watch it as a Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/i92Ib5o3Q4k?feature=share

On the Netflix show Jewish Matchmaking, Dani was surprised that her date, David, didn’t have the good manners to pour her drink when he poured his own. She claimed it didn’t bother her but… come on. My latest TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRwpJTHV/
You can also see Dani being *completely* unbothered (ahem) as a YouTube Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/KzyWx-CnpM4?feature=share

Ongoing #JewishMatchmaking thoughts:
Noah thought the first woman he went on a date with having cats & being vegan were “red flags.” Then the second woman started talking about BS alternative medicine nonsense & he saw what REAL red flags were!
One thing I would’ve liked to see at the end was whether any of the couples are still together. Maybe few/none are and they didn’t want to seem to insult Aleeza’s abilities.

Ongoing #JewishMatchmaking thoughts:
When someone says after a first date, “It doesn’t bother me, it’s just something that I notice,” that means it definitely bothers them.
Guy jokes on first date about being a porn star & admits he still lives with his parents. Gosh, can’t imagine why he’s still on the market…
Shaya is a “bad boy” because he doesn’t pray with a minyan 3x/day. Yeah, watch out for him! He’s obviously trouble!

Two things stand out as mind-blowing: 1) Some of the Orthodox couples marry like 3 months after meeting. 2) Those same couples aren’t allowed to even TOUCH each other till marriage. Then it occurs to me: #2 causes #1!
Stuart on reminds me of half the Jewish comedians I’ve ever seen. But he said he hates Star Wars and hobbits, so he’s dead to me.
Some random thoughts as I was watching #JewishMatchmaking on Netflix.
Seems appropriate that I’m starting to watch while eating lox.
The matchmaker is talking about Sephardic and Ashkenazic like they’re Jewish tribes — in all my life I’ve never heard this stuff about being passed down through the father’s line for these groups.
Never expected so much focus on eyebrows.

A woman & guy have parents from Johannesburg, South Africa & noted it’s a small Jewish community. I have cousins there but my grandparents made connections long ago & we didn’t keep in touch. Maybe one of them is on the show! 
Jewish Geography is definitely a thing. My son is dating a woman hundreds of miles from here & her mother is friends with a woman we’ve known here since he was a baby. (He was thrilled. 
)
Sorry that I’ve watched all of Below Deck, so happy to find Jewish Matchmaking! #jewish #jewishmatchmaking #shittv
