Published: June 25, 2020, 10:09 p.m.

b'Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down when his schedule allows with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World and a touch of sports.With social interaction being severely curtailed during the Pandemic, many are proceeding through the Shidduch process hardly spending any actual time in each other\'s presence.Other couples who met in person before the lock down are now finding the new situation stressful and unnerving.Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests to Charlie that there might be trouble ahead when the vaccine arrives, and the boy and girl are operating under wholly different dynamics."Should we put dating on hold for a while?",he asks.Charlie argues forcefully for proceeding, despite the difficulties spawned by Covid 19.He actually sees benefits for meeting first without the accompanying tinsel and superficiality. He believes the seriousness that has permeated into our lives will result in more meaningful conversation and less coquettish posturing.He invokes the model of the young Jews from the DP camps who immediately began forming families, despite the uncertainty that lay ahead of them, and Kibbutzniks in Eretz Yisroel who understood that the tribe needed to be expanded despite being surrounded by hostile Arab forces bent on their destruction.The Rabbi and Charlie quibble if the antecedents are truly apt for this period,with Kivelevitz pointing to the directive of Amram during the dark days of the terror in Miyzrayim,and discounting Miriam\'s vigorous rebuttal.Rabbi Kivelevitz steers Charlie into devoting the final section of the episode into a primer for what a young Jewish woman should be asking her perspective suitor, and tips for listening and observing.Charlie makes a balanced call for parental involvement as well in his blueprint for the trials and triumphs that wait in the future.
