skald89: I agree that more effort should be put into learning halachot. In high school halacha class was the one everyone tuned out really. It’s the mentality that we don’t HAVE to learn it so much, girls say: “I don’t need to learn kashrut, I learned from my mother by doing what she did” but limasseh it will be problamatic when there is one thing that goes wrong- everything will be a sheilah.

I know many girls, myself including who learn on their own time halacha. Either getting emails, learning from a book, or from a whatsapp group. Awareness is spreading.

I still don’t know about halacha. I hope to learn more, but I also hope I can rely on my future to be husband. Women have much to worry about, the house, kids, even parnassah (in many cases, although it should not be this way). I believe, although it is very nice you want a woman who knows halacha, it is impractical.

But now reading through more of your posts it seems to be you are more looking for someone who knows the Halachot for the mitzvot she does every day, and a desire to want to learn more and not be uneducated about the other mitzvot she is doing as her tafkid in this world. You are looking more for someone who is open to learning and also sees the value in the idea of learning halacha and mussar.

I wish you all the luck in finding a wife. Maybe we should have some shidduchim done over the CR lol. Seems like plenty of single people here. About mussar, in my school we learned mussar from books not just speeches, and discussions. We learned chovos halevavos, and other books.
