Reply To: Be kind to divorcees

@Gamanit,

Absolutely yes, they do invite couples and families for Seudos all the time. For some reason the divorcees and their kids don’t get the same invitations. I don’t understand your attitude at all, so I’ll just be dan l’kaf Z’chus and conclude that you simply have no knowledge or xperience with the his issue at all and are likely naive and ignorant on the topic. Trust me it’s hard enough leading a Shabbos table and hoping to make it normal as possible but there’s nothing to take the place of showing your kids a “normal ” family setting where there. Is a loving couple so the kids learn what to emulate. Can’t you understand that? And yes the onus should be on the people who should be doing the inviting and making the divorcee and the kids feel welcome and wanted. No one wants to have to go begging for invitations, especially not knowing when it’s convenient. That’s just ridiculous to expect them to go asking “can my kids and I join you for Shabbos Seuda?” Would you feel comfortable doing that?
