mdlevine – I didn’t dare say it over b’shem omro for fear of causing another “bash the rabbi who is not your own rov” frenzy. Besides for the source you mention, I have also heard it from another.

spend your sundays having quality time with your wife, playing with your children, relaxing in a family environment. What can be better for your shalom bayis???

what bupkiss is referring to is as follows: when people are idle, the Yetzer HaRa looks to liven them up. on Shabbos and Yom Tov, we have Shul and fesitive meals that take much of our time. on Sundays, when people, generally (yes I know there are those that do), do not go into the office, there are times when husbands look for ways for the wife to improve her housekeeping and wives look for ways for husbands to be more productive and other such activity. many sundays are spent as follows: the first half of the day, they fight over what to do and the second half of the day complaing that they didn’t do anything.

now if you think that these are my words, they are not – I am paraphrasing what I heard on Torah tapes from R’ M.M. Weiss. R’Weiss says that for Rabbonim that are involved in Shalom Bayis cases, idleness is one of the big issues that causes problems (I hope that I captured the points of R’Weiss correctly.)

bogot, Yidden are still waiting for Moshiach for a State. The idolatrous State in the Holy Land is not a Jewish State, but a State run by heretical Jews.

Flatbusher took the words out of my typing…why do the YW editors allow such nonsensical comments to be aired in such a choshuv site?Bupkiss: please think before you type…

Those of us in America know that Sunday is the biggest challenge to Sholom Bayis.
