He falls in love with the first girl he meets, not realizing that he had mixed one Shira up with another in the hotel lobby—and the girl he fell for is not the one his parents had in mind, but a Sephardi Algerian university student of whom they would not approve. Under parental pressure, Yosa’le meets and becomes engaged to the Shira Levinson who was picked out for him, but it becomes clear that they do not have much in common. Eventually he reconnects with the first girl he met, Shira Levi, and breaks his engagement with the other Shira.
