Ben Shapiro REACTS To Jewish Matchmaking 

Absolutely

Hell yes !

Yes!

yeah i was pleasantly surprised how interesting and wholesome this turned out to be in the end

Yes! I feel like I learned a lot from his review of the show!

I agree ive always wondered what his producers look like

I'm Jewish and always thought we had so much in common with our religions and ways of life. Also, Vivi supremacy 🙌

@@elkadillo4511 Oh for sure! I even see it with the spectrum of more moderate Muslims, to practising (with various levels of modesty), to quite conservative iterations. Honestly, see more similarities between Judaism and Islam, than compared to Islam/Christianity or Judaism/Christianity. Haha, hey hey! Not sure if you're a manga reader. But that shit's been wiiiiild. So glad that Vivi's back!

@@MissAllWednesday I absolutely am. Glad Oda is taking a break to fix his eyes. I'm sure he'll need them at tip top shape for the coming saga.

@elkadillo4511 Agreed, Mr. Bushido. Honestly, the Egghead Arc has been one of my favorites. The pacing is great and each chapter feels so important! Kinda surreal that we're finally at the final saga.

be aware! in video Shapiro showed qubbat al sakhra (Dome of the Rock) as a Jewish holy place not a Muslim one, this is dangerous!

Same!

Same

Same

You may also find Rabbi Tovia Singer's RU-vid channel interesting, since he speaks with many Christians about what Jews do and believe.

Same

Agree its really good to see the banter and I appreciate how ben explained each an everything.

*forth lol

Agreed

I beg to differ, it feels forced and cringe. They have little personality and bring nothing to the table.

@@richardbently7236 To each their own. It feels less like a one man show IMO, and more like a group effort bringing us this content.

This was interesting. I was comparing to Christianity the whole time

@@cocoachenille well, what did you get from your comparisons?

That's what I want, too!

@@__.Sara.__hope you get that Sara!!!

all she is saying is that she wants a SJW! i.e.. I want a liberal man that acts conservative.... Simps all the way. a contradiction that is impossible

I disagree with the (or higher) part because if she wanted to find a guy who has "a higher level of faith" then the proper way to go about that is to work on her own faith, then look for someone equal---only after she has put in the work. The problem with her "marrying up" in that case, is it means the guy lacks (to some degree) prudence, wisdom, and/or intelligence... If a guy "marries down" in relation to faith (especially to a significant degree) then he wears his faith as a facade. His faith is obviously weaker than it appears, but he and the people who hold him to such a high standard of faith are blinded by his pride (or "confidence" as some mistakingly call it). He is definitively virtue signaling, regardless of whether or not he is aware of it.

The RU-vidr Ryan Trahan’s wife Haley is one of the few high profile people that I can think of that were able to get their spouse to be more religious. In Ryan’s case he wasn’t religious at all, but is now very openly Christian.

Yes!

I was hoping I'm not the only person who enjoyed Ben breaking down the show .

I would watch every episode of Ben & production crew's commentary.

The show was really interesting

It’s definitely interesting but it gives me a headache 😅

So true. One of my relatives was mocked for being a virgin on their wedding day by some attending the rehearsal, and for marrying a virgin as well. She was asked what if you're not compatible ? Her answer was great something like, "we will grow and learn together and if we are bad lovers we won't even know it. " Lol !

Ben's dating advice is moronic. He is a loser who couldn't get other women (rejected by many) so he says had to pay for his doctor's wife college and bribed her to marry him.

Treating your partner like a commodity is already setting you up for failure.

@@staceylaszlo6321 LOL I always felt like the 'sexually compatible' argument was absurd as well. Like, do you think the two parts are somehow not going to fit together or something? 🤣🤣🤣

@@camillaflint5423 But that's the American way ? How much money does he make? and how Hot is she?

It also causes people to have more realistic expectations instead of desperately finding Mr. or Mrs. Perfect instead Mr. or Mrs. Right Now.

and realistic.

Some Jewish thinkers believe that there is always a person meant for the other person and vice versa, but if you haven't done the work on yourself to be suitable (same with the other), then it is unlikely to work out. Also that there may be different people that might be right for you, depending on where you are in life/maturity. Makes sense.

We believe the same in the LDS church (Mormons). My grandpa is a Jew, so I always grew up with this being the way.

I hear that the myth of "the One" was made up during the sexual revolution of the 60s, feminism was at its core, and it has become such a social contruct that has been embedded in our generation that is why people believe it is true, actually most of the people who believe it are actually men. It helps them remain in their fear stricken coocoon, avoiding rejection, while waiting for their "the One". Instead of going out there, man up and go make that girl, or any girl who meets his intrinsic values "the One".

I literally came to post something similar. I’m a married Christian guy from the south, with almost zero connection to a Jewish dating show. But I watched this whole video because I wanted to hear Ben’s reaction to all of it. I always admire his commitment to God, his family, and his faith, which translates across religious lines.

@@mmccormackit would be great if Ben & his household became Messianic Jews.

Me too! Not so strange though, considering Christianity is the fulfillment/continuation of judaism. 🙃 😊

​@@mcdr15 Why would you want him To Disobey God's Word? You don't understand the Jewish Bible, but if you want to try to get a Jew saved, why not save other "Christians" first. Do tell, which is the correct Denomination and version of Eschatology?

@@russrussel3947 (ROMAN CATHOLIC)

what is it all about?

Prob God and stuff

​​@@whousa642(So, is Jim Jones in heaven or not???) And if so, Mike Bickle STILL didn't say whether or not he saw him when he "went to heaven" in his "vision" to "change Christianity". "God's Generals" describes the History of the flat-out Cult Mess that is most of "Christianity" today. Judaism doesn't have thousands of branches of denominations of Cults because they use the Jewish Bible which forbids Eschatology focus and Demonology focus. Read Joel, Malachai, Deuteronomy, Job. There are proof texts there about Following God and his Commandments, not Idols or False Doctrines and "Prophets". Psalm 22 is also not a proof text but says over and over to Follow the Commandments: NO IDOLS. It even says in the New Testament: NO IDOLS.

@@russrussel3947 meaningless comment

​​​@@whousa642Soo, which "Christian" denomination is really "saved", and which VERSION of Eschatology is correct? Based on Church History, Pre-Trib, right? But wait, Mike Bickle, the Word of Faith Modern Prophet, says it's "Apostolic Premillennialism". Hmmm, let me spend 80 years of my life trying to figure it out and studying The Occultism and Deathwishism of Christian Eschatology instead of just doing what God said in the Old Testament.

I know, it's very interesting

LOL Ben's a hypocrite. He yells at his wife and kids and hates them.

@@JocelynE-v8x what?

and how do u know that?@@JocelynE-v8x

​@@JocelynE-v8x He clearly doesn't, projection much?

"Free samples" 😂😂😂

I can see where you are coming from but I have to disagree. When I met and started dating my now husband we didn't rush into bed but both of us knew it's better to find out if we're compatible before going under the Chuppah. Same goes to living together before marriage, which is the best way to find out how you partner functions in the home and how they contribute without their parents in the picture everyday imo. I would always recommend knowing your partner as much as you can before "tying the knot" as they say....

@@michal31131 That worked for YOU. Over half of marriages end in divorce, whether the people lived together first or not 😉 In fact, there are statistics on this...lol

​@@michal31131 I actually have reasons to agree with you, per my own experience, BUT know that's still wrong and a mistake. #1: God's clear on this, and, being our Creator who is also the one who loves us most, He knows far more than we about what is best. #2: No contraceptive is 100 effective all the time. If you have sex, you're "risking" a pregnancy, a child being born to the 2 of you. I wouldn't "risk" that with anyone I didn't trust and love enough to want to marry 1st and to work out all seeming incompatibilities with me, with faith, afterwards. I wouldn't want my child to have any less in their parents. #3: Stuff comes up later in life, in relationships, in marriage all the time. One lady in our health care cost sharing group had a husband who told her one day he was gay and left her for a man. My close friend had an amazing marriage for many years but her husband committed adultery and lied about it, calling her crazy, for a year and it was another year of horribleness off n on from him during their recovery time ( she wanted to save the marriage anyways, but esp. since they have 4 kids at home, among other considerations). If you wait until you know everything you could ever know, about them or how it's going to go, you'll be dead by then. Yes, by all means know their character, beliefs and convinctions, relationship with God and if they've weathered storms, tests, & temptations b4 and how well, and what they've learned, how they've grown. So, to do that, on average you need to get into your 20s a lil ways and take time in dating, while keeping it celibate. That's a challenge but it can be done, and grows you. Developes that necessary character, for one. My friend & her husband hadn't saved sex til marriage, btw, and he hadn't been a Christian long so his past had none of that experience either. She actually had no reason to trust he could resist temptation if it ever came. ( Not picking on either of them, and even we who've always resisted in the past can easily just give in one day. Also, there's another level of test with being tired of being the resistant one all the time). To conclude, either you base your values and morals on a higher authority, God, or there is nothing but do whatever you want (nothing matters, even rape and murder then). If u do base it on God and His word, then read it more. Know Him more. Learn to fear, love & trust Him above all things, which will lead you to love your neighbor as yourself, which will lead you to not helping anyone else to sin or giving your child parents who don't honor nor trust God, or have self control ( not saying lack of self control is in play in your case, with your reasons). Trusting God to care about the most important things in your life you live in and for Him, like marriage & the one you marry. To bring you the one He will use to love you AND challenge and grow you, for both of you. To be enough for you during rocky times that give you reasons to feel tempted by these philosophies.

I've tried a matchmaking agency. Overall I didn't think their service was bad, but you can only work with the material that you have. And Western society produces broken people. And what good is having a good matchmaker if you're not going to listen to them? The agency always advised their clients to go on multiple dates, at least three before making a judgment. Kinda like the date them till you hate them advice. That only happened to me once. EVERY time the women fell back on being obsessed with chemistry from the get go and finding flaws to disqualify men. With that mindset you're in for a lot of work. Maybe it works better if you use matchmakers for young people, who don't come with the emotional baggage and dating habits that older people do.

There is CatholicMatch that allows you to weed through levels of orthodoxy in theory, but I did not have a good experience on there. The guy I went out with ended up being a predator who lied about his beliefs. Some girls have good experiences, but be careful!

At church 🤷🏼‍♀️ seems the most logical place

@frizzlefry176 agree! My Nan told me from the time I was young that church is THE very best place to meet friends in general. And now with all the different social activities most churches have with other churches (not to mention all the different groups and meetings within your home church), it's very easy to meet and interact with a wide variety of folks.

@@frizzlefry176 it’s not waiting till she falls from the sky is not a plan. Not all churches are made the same with a lot of single girls your age (especially today). And if like me your stuck and can’t try other churches because you serve (play piano) your screwed to suffer the endless advice of just wait on God and become the person he wants you to be.

Except for square pegs in round holes. Everyone knows that's not gonna work

LOL not he's not. Ben is a sociopath narcissist. He bullies his own wife and kids sadly.

@@JocelynE-v8x proof?

@@JocelynE-v8xwhere have you heard that he bullies his wife and kids?

@@mysterypro_music I live in Florida and have personally seen him scream at his wife and kids in public at a restaurant. Ben has anger issues.

Welcome to Orthodox Judaism!

In other words, he didn't know how to get laid.

Lol

Thanks producers mom, but no thanks.

...and what do YOU want?

​@@GregScholfield Lol! Brilliant!!

I mean, Netflix has a reputation of being like 10% accurate on average regarding orthodox Jewish groups, but it’s nice to to see them give Orthodox Jews some positive press for a change.

@@reginaphalange9316 yeah…..as a rule I view the portrayal of any religion on mainstream platforms with a hefty dose of skepticism. So often, even if the tenets and traditions of Judaism highlighted on the show are accurately described in a technical sense, they always get the proportionality wrong or fail to frame a deeply meaningful practice with essential context, etc. I try to only consult official sources for clarity. I think I like the show not because it’s a Masterclass in modern orthodoxy, but because it’s the first time in a long time I’ve seen a show that doesn’t portray religiously observant people as shackled and oppressed. I was encouraged that the show featured a wide range of participants who obviously seemed to value their own brand of Judaism as a deeply important anchor in their everyday life and identity formation. Progress - I suppose😉

​@@reginaphalange9316 I went to a watch party hosted by Aleeza. She mentioned how appreciative she was that Netflix accommodated her religious needs. One example was that whereas others of the crew stayed at a hotel, they got her accommodations at an air B&B so she could use her own pots to cook kosher.

If you believe all that nonsense you wrote then I have some magic beans to sell you. Nothing on tv or from Hollywood is authentic. Jewish matchmaking and the Indian Matchmaking shows are grossly inaccurate about their respective cultures. Stop being lazy and trying to learn about a culture from a tv show.

Christianity is a shism from judaism

What is your opinion on god torturing a baby to death for a week because of your boi David?

​@@PROVOCATEURSK This is no place for this discussion. Keep it to yourself. The original comment is a positive one, why are you so hyper negative eh? Now, God made the baby sick as punishment for adultery, of which the suffered stemmed from the sickness. Secondly, (personally) The biblical stories are more a kin to symbolisms or allegory than taken as literal. The sin of adultery is the killing of your children, or family. Thus is a sin of the commandments. Did God really kill his baby or did his baby get sick and because he was cheating on his wife did he correlate the result?? People do this all the time even today. Ever hear of "Karma"? Pushing scripture on someones religion without any provocation just screams that you are a extremely negative person. We can say this about all religions, Quran? Oh yeah the religion that promotes raping and beating of wives, polygomy, and the strict enforcement of Shariah Law. Guess they're all evil. Or Buddism in Tripitaka they speak of the allowance of misogyny. So i guess all Buddist are misogynists?

99.99999%

Maybe they mean they are culturally Jewish?

​@@donteverfckwithmyvibe Culture =/= heritage. My last name is Germanic from Prussia (when it still existed). I am genetically descended from Teutonic Knights. I am faaaaaar from that culture.

"Secular consumerism" is the fastest growing religion of the even though it is failing all around us

@@Undomaranel my bad, I'm not great at grammar. I guess i meant they have Jewish heritage

I agree but I also understand that maybe that is the problem. Relationships are taken far to lightly by many of the people that I know. Not enough care is used. Easy divorces, terminations of pregnancies when you just weren't using protection, the idea that its ok to cheat and have another potential partner "in the chamber", etc.

They are. Not worth it imo. I've seen the orthodox men are controlling as fuck and family is patriarchal as hell.

not all is fun and games in Jewish orthodox matchmaking. in Israel it's extremely racist. Ashkenazi jews are seen as a far better match then Mizrachi and Sephardi jews. even though most secular jews in Israel are mixed ethnicity today..

@@leenox23 Such a waste of humanity drawing all these distinctions.

Sephardi and Ashkenazi aren’t races

You should go to a Friday service sometime. Shabbat service is very moving and they welcome visitors.

Rabbi Tovia Singer's RU-vid channel is great for people interested in Judaism, for sure. And Rabbi Michael Skobac also has a channel, Jews for Judaism.

me🤣🤣🤣🤣שלו

YES!!!!!!

I literally live these match making shows 😂 I’ve watched this on and the Indian one and they are amazing, they’re the only reality shows I’ll watch

Hey, don't knock Indian matchmaking! I had an Indian dentist who told me her parents' marriage had been arranged and that they'd been joined at the hip ever since. A young Indian guy who ran a smoke shop where I used to buy lottery tickets took me into his confidence when his parents were working on possible brides. He'd been given photos and had fallen hard for one of the candidates. He went back to India to meet her and see if they were compatible and they were ultimately married. He was on the phone with her once when I came into the store and insisted I talk to her ("I told her all about you!"); he also explained to me that when young couples have problems, the parents help to work things out. He ended up moving to China for some sort of business opportunity which I hope worked out for him because I think of him every time I go into that store. Considering the current divorce rate, I'm not about to slam a system that, it seems to me, has at least as much chance of succeeding as choosing one's own. I imagine, though, that things can get humorous along the way, at least to outside observers.

Thank you for time stamping that. I needed that!

Yes! So similar to Indian Matchmaking!!

I am Indian, and most people shown in that show are very superficial. And yes luxuriously rich for average Indian. Most middle class Indian ps would assign more value to MARRAIGE than those in the show. Also show is somehow edited towards their wealth. Honestly parents do play important role but not always initially. First you meet the girl or boy through profiles, online or offline. Then the parents are involved of both want to move ahead. And that’s more practical these days as well. It seems teh matchmaker in Jewish version is much better, would love to watch that one. She knows her traditions and is not just some judgemental aunty like Seema.😂

Yeah. Imagine being Jake saying all that bs in front of BEN SHAPIRO! Incredibly embarassing for him.

They kill christians over there

Jews For Judaism has excellent Ministry. Shloime Zionce is an adorable young traveler and Rabbi Manis Friedman is Edifying as well.

@@thetabright37 Jews for Judaism by Rabbi Michael Skobac, and Rabbi Tovia Singer's RU-vid channel would be much more insightful and have more information for the individual here.

@T.A. Bright There is no such thing as a Jew for Jesus. Anyone who thinks Jesus is their savior is not Jewish. This is not a value judgment. If you believe in Jesus, go ahead. Just don't lie and claim you're Jewish. We Jews do not put anyone above G-d, and we do not believe in Jesus that way.

@@beck943if they have Jewish roots then they are Jewish ethnically tho, maybe not practicing but still

@@godmode2461 Agreed. But when people say they're "Jews for Jesus" they're saying they're religiously Jewish. They're not talking about their ethnicity.

No to Neocons who prop up the establishment.

​@MyFaceIsYourToilet😮🤤 wow, racist much? Yet you watch him, okay...you smart😂

@@whataboutbob5473 😅😆🤣😂

Beautiful ❤

Yes, and many are arranged by the family too. It's the parents that usually employ the matchmaker if needed.

Dates are arranged (like blind dates, i guess like this show), but marriages arent.

It is a talent to explain R rated things with G rated words. We need more of that, I think.

Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews have different traditions regarding eating legumes during Passover. Things such as wheat, barley, oats are agreed as being forbidden during passover by all Jews. Ashkenazi Jews also consider rice as forbidden. Sephardic Jews do not. So not super complicated.

@@meirtt Thanks, darn. I'm surprised that awnser didn't come naturally to me. Lol.

It's very simple, trivial info that every Orthodox Jew knows. Everyone on the show was Jewish but knew absolutely nothing about Judaism in the slightest. It's maybe more cringe than watching Messianic Jewish Christians talk about Judaism.

@@meirtt But some Moroccans also don't eat rice on Pesach.

@@Bittzen True, some don't. Interestingly, this would also be derived from Ashkenazim since this likely would be from Moroccans going according to the Rosh (who is Ashkenazi).

Yeah, we have very similar rules to Mormons when it comes to dating, family, modesty, etc.❤

@@user_mll374 And Money LOL

@@roboparks I don't know about Mormons and money. But nobody has a "money" relationship. It's just success.

Same. I actually find it really refreshing to have a lot of similar customs.

Mormons are sooo sheltered.

Agreed. When it comes to dating/marriage, all Agrahamic religions are very similar in their values.

I’d like to ask you how this show compares with how young people meet each other in Indian culture?

Well, a "normal" person would hardly turn their search for a spouse into a TV show to begin with...

@@aszechy well, maybe it’s hard for them to find someone serious nowadays, I can’t even imagine the dating present scene. Also maybe they participate for money; I don’t know. There’s a similar show : Indian matchmaker, it’s also highly entertaining but I found those people to be more serious than in the Jewish show

Are you Jewish on your mother's side (or both)?

Where do you live? Maybe someone here can tell you where the closest Jewish community is!
