Without commenting as to the genuineness of the original post, I did notice that the identical scenario was the plot of “In Black and White” by Dov Haller, which was serialized in Mishpacha Magazine a few years back. The brother-in-law, Yossi Tillstein, went off to work and triggered the same type of situation, including the parents not talking to the couple and the single daughter who was worried about shidduchim. The main point of this novel was that we should all be open-minded and non-judgemental. Interestingly, and totally un-ironically, Yossi, who is also a “nice guy” and a ba’al chessed, refers to his Mexican workers as “loathsome Mexicans.” Guess it’s only all about being non-judgemental towards other Jews.
