Found this only recently but it seems that its time has come. This movie can be seen as just a simple story of propinquity leading to love or a tale of Jewish customs, but it is far more. It is an subtle indicator of what we have given up in terms of community and family. Not Jewish in any form but the characters are believable in their doubts and love. I will leave it to to the observant to judge what is textually correct but no one should doubt their reaction to the characters. I wanted the movie to be far longer but that is the Hallmark tradition. Miracle it was as well produced/directed/acted as it was. All props to Lauren Ambrose who plays Leah so well. Loving Leah is a necessary reminder of the human miracle.
