Cast of Modern Orthodox Dating Show Talk Texting, Ghosting and Crushes
On the first episode of “Soon By You,” a new web series on Modern Orthodox dating, four protagonists faced off against the very worst of mating rituals: the failed first date. A great deal of stilted conversation, a case of mistaken identity and copious amounts of wine later — the gang is back for round two, with a new episode released today on YouTube.
We sat down with Leah Gottfried and Jessica Schechter, two of the show’s writers and stars, for a rapid-fire round of questions on all things dating.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
