Pearl is a Satmar Hasidic woman who has been married for fifty-six years. Her marriage, and the marriage of her children and grandchildren, were set up according to Hasidic customs. Pearl shared very candidly how her marriage was organized and graciously answered all of my questions about dating, attraction, sex education, matchmaking, and so much more. This is a very very special interview, and I am so delighted to share it with you all. To learn more about my work visit: Website - friedavizel.com Instagram - @friedavizel Facebook - /toursbyfrieda
