Mishpacha magazine did not come to my city and we are all wondering what is going on in the the Raizy/Avrummy story (Hearts of Gold, I think).
Can anyone update me?

Chani's friend Rivka gets engaged and Chani spends time getting her the perfect gift before the lechaim. Then Bayla calls Chani on her cell phone to invite her to an inspiring speech that they both enjoy. Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz go through the list of names on their petition before mailing it to Avrummy. Raizy's face turns white when she sees what her parents are doing. She goes up to her room and finds her lechaim pictures and sits and cries, hoping Avrummy will not make this harder and will just agree to give her the get. Avrummy and his parents receive the package from the Schwartzes. Avrummy leaves the room, while his parents discuss pushing him to give Raizy a get.

Do you think they'll publish that serial once it's completed? I've been reading bits and pieces of it, but would like to read it in one form.

anyone know?

I believe she was chani's friend from sem who was injured.
maybe she has a brother that chani will marry?

First, no problem. Wink

Second, my husband and I were also trying to figure out what Shuly and Bayla, for that matter, have to do with the storyline. At first we thought it was just to add fluff to keep the story going as long as possible (I don't know about you, but this is the first part of the Mishpacha we read each week). On second thought, it may be to give a rounder picture of Chani, the "sister caught in the middle," and her ability to see through her own pain to reach out and help someone else going through her own trauma, and to give perspective on the situation at hand. I think Shuly is the oldest, but I also think this will lend a hand in getting Chani married. Guess we'll have to wait and see Study

Us too!

Yesterday, my dh went to a sefarim store to see if it came in yesterday b/c it was not in on Friday and when people heard him ask, everyone was wondering what happened in "the story!"

glad to see the story is moving along. we thought it was sort of stagnating for a while. Bayla is Chani's role model, but I'm not really sure what the deal is with Shuli.

That's always the problem with these stories - they shlep and shlep and then all of a sudden in the last week's one they cram in tons!

When we went to get Mishpacha this week, we were told that it is changing ownership, and there won't be another one till Purim - anyone else hear that?

I know they printed less than usual this week, many places did not get it. I think I read that they will publish it as a book after the serial is done. that's what they do w/ the stories in the yated and hamodia. I went to 4 stores to get the mishpacha to continue the story!!

I think they are still making less. I e-mailed them last week and they said again this week it won't be coming to my city but after that it will...

my friend in another city just read me the story - very long this week!

Hearts of Gold was controversial for a while; some people felt it made the American kollel families in EY look bad. I personally LOVE the story. sadly, it's very realistic. There ar eplenty of fathers who mess up their daughters' marraiges. In my opinion, Raizy and Avrummy are both too wimpy - why do neither of them speak up? Why are they letting Mr. Schwartz manipulate everything?

Every wednesday morning I run out to buy it then go to the nearest restaurant for a cup of coffee to QUICKLY read hearts of gold!!!

I also loved the isser'l /shprintzele strip.
