Not digging the apparent instant attraction between our two protagonists, but I'm tentatively on-board to see how the fantasy Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestantism are handled.

This worldbuilding is laughable. The Sumics have bishops and a pope. The Yu'adir practice tikkun olam. There was just a reference to the year 1718 as "two centuries ago." In a story with, yeah, roughly 1920s technology and clothing styles.
So why the fake country and religion names?? Just call things what they are if you aren't interested in remixing them at all. Pretending it's an alternate world is weird.
