Another son talks about how he was matched with his wife and how they received the Belzer Rebbe's blessing for the match. What one looks for in a match: a respected and known and prosperous family, involved in the community. Whether one feels some sort of rapport with the prospective mate. 00:04:59 - Chips Gold about how it's important to have a spotless house when making a match for daughters. 00:05:43 - Oldest Gold son: First time his father took him to Shabbos with Belzer Rebbe and Belz Hasidim was a spiritual experience for him and he knew he wanted to be a Hasid. It entailed negotiation with his wife. The Rebbe cautioned him to go slowly and was worried he would alienate non-Hasidic siblings. 00:10:15 - Another son about being attracted to the fervor of Hasidic prayer. (Fragment) 00:11:15 - One important element of Hasidism is the doing of more than is required. Another is the imbuing of daily life with joy. 00:13:01 - Chips Gold: About how the Rebbe and his wife are like family. That Hasidism is about a feeling of belonging. Her brother-in-law: Hasidism is about cohesion, everyone going to the same besmedresh (house of prayer), praying in the same way. The grandchildren are asked questions by the filmmaker but are too shy to say much. 00:16:34 - Chips Gold: She comes from a family with Satmar Hasidic background but it was an adjustment for her when her husband started becoming more Hasidic. 00:18:45 - More about the role of joy in Hasidic life and how Hasidim believe that everything that happens is meant to happen.
