Hi Rabbi Anava First of all, I would like to say thank you so much for your lectures and shirum online. The Video of your NDE experience brought me into tears and evoked me to do more teshuvah. I first would like to introduce myself; my name is Ari Goldberger and I am from Melbourne, Australia. I'm a 32 year old male and I am a psychologist by trade. In terms of observance, I have been putting on Teffilin daily for numerous years (approximately) and there have been a few month (or so) periods upon which I have observed Shabbat as well within the last 2 years. My main dilemma and question is that I struggle to really commit to a life of shomer mitzvoth  because I lack a soulmate. I have been looking for numerous years in Melbourne for my other half and I have not met anyone even remotely suitable. I have tried dating apps, matchmakers and attending Jewish singles events to no avail. I honestly feel G-d has abandoned me even though I pray for it daily. It's not just me that struggles in Melbourne, but many others do as well as it's a small Jewish community. The quality of the Jewish women I meet here is just not the standard I am seeking. I tried to make aliyah in 2015 however due to financial concerns I had to come back to Australia to make a living as a psychologist (I'm not a wealthy man by any means and I do not speak Hebrew). To be honest, being alone and not having anyone beside me has been a lonely experience which has affected my emunah significantly. My experiences in  keeping Shabbat has left me continually attending other people's families for lunch/dinner, which is a "bitter-sweet" experience to say the least. I have been left to think that if I become more shomer mitzvoth, maybe there is a chance G-d can allow the circumstances upon which I can meet a suitable woman. Or maybe I am wrong? Maybe I can keep the mitzvoth entirely, live a very frum life however continue my days being single as G-d did not provide anything? I would like your advice on the matter please. Nonetheless, it's happened to be that since I watched your video, I have been wearing tzittzit daily and have been keeping shabbat. I'm now thinking to take it a step further because I still have a glimmer of hope that a soulmate can come from this in Melbourne. The other choice is that I collect some funds and try to make aliyah again to start a life there (obviously the chances of me meeting a match is much higher) to which I need to do ulpan and struggle to survive etc. What do you think? Kind regards, Ari
