An Unorthodox Match is a powerful and moving novel of faith, love, and acceptance, from author Naomi Ragen, the international best-selling author of The Devil in Jerusalem.
California girl Lola has her life all set up: business degree, handsome fiancé, fast track career, when suddenly, without warning, everything tragically implodes. After years fruitlessly searching for love, marriage, and children, she decides to take the radical step of seeking spirituality and meaning far outside the parameters of modern life in the insular, ultraorthodox enclave of Boro Park, Brooklyn. There, fate brings her to the dysfunctional home of newly-widowed Jacob, a devout Torah scholar, whose life is also in turmoil, and whose small children are aching for the kindness of a womanly touch.
While her mother direly predicts she is ruining her life, enslaving herself to a community that is a misogynistic religious cult, Lola’s heart tells her something far more complicated. But it is the shocking and unexpected messages of her new community itself which will finally force her into a deeper understanding of the real choices she now faces and which will ultimately decide her fate.

Puts you through a wild range of emotions. I went from I only wish I could’ve; to, ‘oh jeez, I could NEVER, I’m very contented with my own personal form of Judaism.’ However, a chapter or two later, I was right back to deep wistfulness and questioning everything about this beautiful faith I thought I’d finally had all figured out.
I’m a convert who came to the party late. I believe I did everything right or that I could, in the scope of my “reality.” Where it’s led me — and I still do. Nevertheless, I have many, many questions about my own journey that will most likely go unanswered.
A beautiful, insightful story. Don’t miss it . . .
Fascinating — learned so much!

This book had to be written, so B"H it was. I hope it makes it into film so people around the world learn some of the most positive aspects of observant Jewish life, and not just the horror stories that are so easy to sell on stream services.
I wish the cover was different so I could gift it to some friends, I guess I'll have to put a cover on it, a Mechitza:)
well, well, well
