Loyal Jew. I understand the point you are trying to make, but I can’t get on board with thinking like that. I personally wouldn’t want a shidduch for my child that is going to high horse themselves so much that they can’t accept someone who has family members that are not up to they standards of religious. My mother wears pants, and does not cover her hair. She keeps shabbos, kosher, literally has the best midos of anyone I know. She is the first person to jump to help someone, to pick someone up from the airport, to change a strangers flat tire( yea my mom is superwoman). I am very proud to have her as my mom, never once have I been ashamed of the fact that she and my dad are very modern. One shidduch that was redt to me,many other thigs were wrong about the match but the boys mother actually said to me infront of his sisters, ” we’ll if this goes anywhere it is going to be humiliating at the wedding if your mothers hair is not covered”. BH it didn’t end up going far, but who says that?!!! My modern mother would never have the chutzpah.
