Myfriend : You wrote “Question for the BT’s who are upset with FFB’s who don’t consider BT’s for shidduchim:
Would you consider a shidduch with a Ger (convert) just as quickly as you would with a non-convert?
In anwser to your question, my husband is a ger.
What difference does it make what name brand the tag on the dress is as long as you are covered? In other words, if one takes upon himself the Mitzvos and Torah is that not enough? Or we have to have labels? If Hashem wanted us to all keep to our “types” that we’re from, then there would have been more than 12 tribes ascribed. There would be tribes of gerim, BT’s and whatever else you want.
Would you have considered Yisro (Moshe Rabainu’s father in law) from Midian for your daughter? Or you prefer someone with same background over him?
I resent the comment posted above by mw13 who stated as a fact it is more common for children of BT’s to go off the derech than from FFB homes. I disagree entirely. Maybe you can kindly explain then why Monsey and Monroe are having a “bum” crisis?.. Not too many BT’s there in comparision to the Frum families who “know how to parent” naturally, as you stated above.
