My Unorthodox Life. Tragic story.

Disgusting of the lowest caliber – on ALL levels.

My critic of the new Netflix series, My Unorthodox life. “Everyone” at least in the orthodox world, is talking about it.

It is vulgar (for no reason), promiscuous, terrible parenting, a total sell out of values period, to gain some publicity. It is cheap, and calling it superficial, would be a false compliment.

Miriam, Julia’s daughter, comes home telling her mother she is going out on a blind date with another girl. The mother immediately encourages Miriam to feel comfortable trying out a kiss with this total unknown person on a first date!!! Great Parenting, right?

Has the mom no concern for all the sexually transmitted diseases with a total unknown figure.

Miriam the daughter wants to dress with the “classic Monsey look” when discussing making a visit there, but the Mom doesn’t want her daughter to have respect for the father they are planning to visit, and sensitivities for the community. She encourages Miriam to dress the “I own my body” do what I want manner.

The daughter who has more sense, tries telling that to her mother but Julia insists Miriam should flaunt her independence in the face of the Monsey community. Julia continues telling her gay Ceo Robert, to convince Miriam not to dress “Monsey style”.??

Pretty awful education on the part of a mother to teach her child to not give a hoot of where they are, crash the wedding, dressed in a beach party costume.

Aaron the youngest, a sweet kid, who appears to have a problem looking at his mother’s immodest dress, decided he wants to stay away from television and girls while he is in school. This is a perfect reasonable and mature choice, supported mind you by plenty of “secular “studies as being a wise decision.

Mom does not accept or respect this perfect reasonable disciplined choice and calls it “a tragic choice.” Really??Besides the idiocy of that statement, and any “normal” parent should be proud of their child taking education serious. How about accepting in a respectful manner the choices of your child.

Mom tells the kid his choice is, “brainwashing”, and tells him, that his choice is “fundamentalism”!!

Kudos to Aaron, he is strong all along and responds, “I see the world, I just don’t want to be part of, that world”.?Who could blame Aaron when you just see the varied lifestyles and behaviors of the people on this show itself.?I would say if anyone is a "fundamentalist" in this show, it is Julia, crying in front of her son, and pressuring her poor 14-year-old and anyone she can persuade, to “be part of this (her) world”.

When Bat Sheva recounts how her husband was somewhat surprised at her wearing jeans, which is not how the two of them understood each other when they got married, Julia tell her daughter, “no one gets to tell you what you wear on your body”.

Can she not understand what Bat Sheva tells her, it’s a shock to Ben. And Julia goes on swearing a four letter word at Ben! What type of mother helps fuel a friction between her own daughter and husband? Especially under these understandable circumstances. I know the answer.

Bat Sheva herself who totally changed her lifestyle from what the two talked about before their own marriage and dreamt about during their dates, expresses herself with, “I still respect his feelings, I am frustrated he isn’t where I’m at” and has a problem when he asks for more time and a chance to talk things over with his parents.?

Bat Sheva is single minded focused.?“I want him to understand, I want him to come around” and change his world view, his spiritual sensitivities, drop all that, for a dramatically changed lifestyle and do it, overnight.

Why is there so much pressure being placed on Ben an adult to give up his preferences, his family and his entire life upbringing? What’s nice and kind about that???

On the show Julia says, in that (orthodox) world, girls aren't allowed to drive a car. That's just an outright lie. They talk about, not being “educated” in their orthodox lives. That’s another lie. They did go to school. They were and are educated. They were educated in all the regular "secular" studies and, in addition, they were and are educated in a thousands of years tradition, that has withstood the tornadoes of changing civilizations and failed societies.

There is no intellectual, or honest content, vis a vis living an Orthodox life. None whatsoever. It’s all one sided propaganda, literally propaganda bashing a Jewish orthodox lifestyle, on the basis of lies and innuendo.

The show is about a private woman who gave up a spiritually beautiful rich lifestyle that has made the Jewish people special for thousands of years, and that millions of people feel fulfilled and happy with. She follows a familiar path so many have unfortunately taken and later on regretted, because they were weak living with meaningful rules which was too difficult for her, and in the process taking (coercing) her entire family with her. The superficial and short lived enticements and flashing lights of in truth a very troubled and dark world, got the better of her.

It’s a very tragic story for all the members of this family.?
