Joel Crohn makes us laugh and then cry over the misunderstandings that develop in cross-cultural relationships–and then provides useful guidelines for couples to work out their relationships.

Monica McGoldrick, MSW Director of the Multicultural Family Institute.

Mixed Matches offers good advice for dealing with family members & friends when marrying someone of a different race or culture. The book is a must read for any individual involved in or considering a relationship/marriage with someone of a different race. Keep it as a guide. I love it.

D. Dominguez Amazon Review

Beyond the Chuppah is a much needed book that combines proven research on marital relationships with special insights on Jewish belief systems and very sound in terms of what really helps couples save and improve their marriages…this book is a lifesaver and truly a mitzvah.
