Reply To: Crazy Shidduch Story

Suffice to say there has not been a vort – but I said I’m not going to be yenta, so that is all I am going to say for now –

I will say, however, with some pleasure, that the rebbetzin of Stranded’s shul hosted a melaveh malkeh for high school grads and sem girls shortly after Purim, and the topic of her shmooze was “Reality of Marriage,” or something like that – I *heard* that it was a very frank and open discussion – that the rebbetzin revealed to the girls the truth that marriage is not one long great date – that there can be good years and bad years – that the evening went far later into the night than anyone anticipated, and that the rebbetzin convinced her husband to do the same type of gathering for the boys who are coming out of the freezer or otherwise getting ready for shidduchim
