I dated 100 men before getting married and my husband 200 women. Totally could relate to Deena and the ups and downs of the dating journey. I think this was a great episode. ty

Stories like these really put things into perspective for me. I've been through my fair share of frustrations. Over 200 people is a lot to date, and I couldn't imagine that! Kudos for keeping up with it.

He was an incredible tour guide when I visited the Kotel tunnel tours with my family about a month ago. May they continue to inspire all who seek it with their grace and spirit. Kol Hakavod.

Beautiful episode! Kalman is a close friend and mentor to my son. I spent Shabbos with them a little over a year ago when I was visiting my son in Israel. It was also a nice change to see a couple who is other than Chassidish, a guy wearing a crocheted kippah instead of a black hat, shtreimel, etc. More relatable for those of us who are more of the modern orthodox demographic.

Thank you Tzipporah for bringing on such a beautiful and Temimusdik couple with so much to share!! I often hear of people's fear of passing up a Bashert - thank you Deena and Tzipporah for calming people. A book called "chasunah secrets" by Rabbi Dovid Meisels, says that a Bas Kol comes out to announce someone's bashert as we all know before a baby is born and that Bashert can be passed up, BUT there are ALSO Basherts that we daven for and they become a Bashert through prayer. Which would explain second marriages and so on, which are clearly Bashert and wouldn't make sense if a person only has one Bashert. Great episode and wishing Deena and Kalman a long happy life together and zocheh to do many mitzvos and much good, and raise well adjusted children.
