  • Jewish Dating and Identity ft. Dovi Neuburger
    2025/10/05

    Starting off the last episode of season 14, the Schmuckgirls share their updates of the week. Libby discusses celebrating her 1 year wedding anniversary and gives some tips she's learned in her first year. Marla talks about busy work transitions and holidays with Josh. Both Libby and Marla talk about Rosh Hashanah and its cultural significance, including the abundance of holidays that offer numerous opportunities for reflection and forgiveness.

    The girls welcome their last guest of the Season, the hilarious Dovi Neuburger! They start of talking a little bit about dating and the preference for drinks or activity on a first date. They then get into Dovi's childhood, growing up Jewish and how that led him to his comedy career with a focus on religious audiences. He emphasizes the importance of producing his own shows as a stepping stone in the competitive New York comedy scene and reflects on his love for stand-up, sparked by long car rides during his childhood.

    The discussion also touches on the similarities between creating stand-up comedy and video content, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and creativity across different formats. Additionally, Dovi talks about his project, the Poolside series with Lizzie, inspired by the Jewish community and modeled after Zach Galifianakis's "Between Two Ferns."

    The next chapter navigates the intersection of modesty and modeling within the Orthodox Jewish community, where Dovie shares his opinions on the notion of a "modest model" and examining how this concept can sometimes feel contradictory to him. The conversation then touches upon the complex issues of anti-Semitism on social media, specifically on platforms like Instagram, and how this affects influencers who aim to combat these narratives. The discussion further reflects on the motivations and perceptions of Jewish influencers, considering the fine line between advocacy and personal branding. They then transitions to a lighter note with a deeper discussion on dating, especially in "single communities."

    They explore the complexities of identifying with religious labels, particularly within the Jewish community, as well as the cultural and social nuances of dating in New York City. The conversation then shifts to the unique challenges and dynamics of the singles scene in New York, especially on the Upper West and East Sides. The three discuss how the vibrant singles communities offer fun and a thriving social calendar but can also hinder the focus on marriage and settling down.

    Libby, Marla, and Dovi discuss the frustration of attending the same events and seeing the same faces, often without achieving the desired outcome of meeting a new partner. The conversation shifts to the comparison between traditional matchmaking systems and casual dating, highlighting a preference for more structured dates that foster meaningful connections. Additionally, they talk about the growing trend of non-religious and non-Jewish individuals turning to matchmakers, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in seeking marriage and starting families in a world that often lacks focus on these goals.

    The conversation then shifts a bit more serious to comedy and how the Jewish community could find laughter again in a post 10/7 world. They explore the complex emotions and responsibilities of being a comedian during challenging times and discuss how comedy served as a form of relief and unity for many who felt guilty about enjoying themselves amidst turmoil. The chat about the finding the balance between being entertaining and handling sensitive topics, including the pressures of being seen as an advocate.

    The group then shares in some hilarious comparisons revealing that there are no unique experiences in this life, especially when it comes to families and moms.

    And to close out season 4, they end with a classic game of "Cute or Cringe." Dovi then shares about some of his upcoming projects and shows.
