[quote="amother Steelblue"]Is she pregnant already? Sounds like it that shes nauseous and couldnt stomach certain foods... and then craved tuna... YOu think the story will end dramatically when she goes to her mother kimpet heim and sees her kind side?daughter

This is not one of the family's daughters. It says in the story that she met her father in the store. He has a completely different last name than the main characters. Not even sure who Raizy is supposed to be. But I'm assuming she will end up in the "heim" and maybe the newly married Herzog daughter Yehudis will end up working at Raizy's investment office since her father doesn't want her to be a teacher anymore. And all the plot lines will overlap Very Happy

The single sister is Rikki. The Raizy mentioned this week is pregnant with her third kid. She has a sister named Leah who is married to someone very wealthy whose last name is Steiner. She goes to buy something for lunch and runs into her father who seems very disapproving that she spent money buying lunch. However his last name is Wetman not Koenig like the family in the story so I have no idea who in the world these characters are. I'm wondering if it's a misprint on the website and it will be different in the printed magazine. There is absolutely no mention of any of these characters in the previous four chapters.

I thought the family name was Herzog, not Koenig?

Whoops, my bad!! It is Herzog. I corrected it on my post.
But either way whoever Raizy is who was mentioned last week and this week who has three children, is not one of the daughters of the Herzog family. It's just weird how new characters were introduced with absolutely no context. It even references things like the fathers hurt shoulder as though we've read about them and should remember.

We were just getting to know Amram the bossy, overbearing husband and father, Leebie, his wife who works in the kimpeturin home and loves helping the new young mothers, Shaya, the ten year old who possibly has add and can’t have his art lessons, Yehudis, the newlywed whose father wants her to give up the teaching job she loves…
I was so confused by this subplot, if that’s what it’s meant to be, that I actually found my way back to chapter 2 when Yehudis came home to her parents house one evening and asked her mother where everyone was. Leebie gave her a quick run down on all her siblings and I checked every name. No Raizy. No Yechiel. There was one other married child and his name was Dovid.
Who are Raizy and Yechiel? Did they wander in from another short story the way your classmates from first grade drift into a dream about your work deadlines? Did a copy editor combine two different short stories into one incoherent mishmash?
Let us know when you know.

Came here to post the same! This is so unlike the Mishpacha I know.
Who in the world is this Raizy and who is her father??

Exactly!! Here's an example from this week: Raizy and Yechiel are discussing buying a house and whether or not they would be able to swing a down payment. Yechiel then withdraws an envelope from his pocket. It was "the monthly rent envelope he'd picked up from Mr Jacob's senior that day on his way home from kollel"
Absolutely. No. Context
Who is Mr Jacobs and when did Yechiel pick up a check on his way from what kollel. 🤔

To me it seems like 2 stories got mixed up....

It's honestly fine for there to be two subplots about two different families as long as when the second family is introduced there are last names and some context is given. Not references to a hurt shoulder or picked-up rent check that were never mentioned before. It just makes things confusing. I'm like a different poster said it's totally not mishpacha's style

Mr Jacob is Yechiel's father I assume, no? This week's installment starts with the "Jacobs", I.e. Yechiel and Raizy, going for a walk with their 2 kids in a double buggy. Other than that I'm as lost as everyone else as to how this family got inserted into the storyline.

This is typical frum novel writing. You have two completely unrelated plots going on at the same time, switching back and forth every couple of chapters, and in chapter 75 they finally come together. I can't remember ever reading a secular novel with the same setup. It's amateurish and annoying.

This one reason I find it hard to read many Jewish books.
I also hate when they flip time periods. One chapter she is 12 the next she is a baby the next she has kids. Just write it following her life, don't flip back and forth.

This week ends with the herzog’s ‘share of their rent ‘
Raizy didn’t know that her father gives half & the other side gives half?
Like she’s all shocked about having to go to her parents house & get the rent ?
She’s married already for a bunch of years. They have 2 kids
My question is:
What did they do till now ?

This is about Yehudis, not raizy. Yehudis is Amram and Leebie's newlywed daughter.

I thought Mr Jacobs was the landlord, and he picked up a rent envelope, meaning to put the rent money in. It seems that the shadchan told Yechiel's side that the other side would pay the rent, but she either didn't know this or the shadchan made it up.
