    Do you think thats true? What about the people that always remain single?

    I think I must be missing something about the question.

    Every pot has a lid. But If you don’t make an effort to put the lid on the pot, it”ll remain without a lid. And the lid without the pot.

    And a watched pot never boils.

    The lid is yes out there. Find it, and recognize it, when the correct lid does come thy way.

    No, unfortunately, I don’t think it’s true. case in point: there are some people who remain single their entire lives.

    Those who remain single didn’t find the lid or thought that it wasn’t the right lid. Hashem has a lid (beshert) for all.

    My Farberware 1-1/2 qt. and 3 qt. saucepans have their own lids, but the 10″ skillet shares its lid with the 6 qt. Dutch oven. Is that against halacha?

    Just thought the olam should know that the phrase is “every lid has a pot”. Not “every pot has a lid”. As has been observed not every pot has a lid but the only reason a lid would be made is to cover a pot, hence the necessity of pot given lid. Or in mathematical terms: (p)p|l = 1. Whereas (p)l|p < 1. We could possibly do a study on the incidence of pot/lid co-manufacture to determine a precise value for (p)l|p but I’m not sure I can be bothered.

    What do you mean ‘this thread is about shidduchim’?

    The question is, am I a pot or a lid?

    “Just thought the olam should know that the phrase is “every lid has a pot”

    How about every Yid has a pot.

    This IS about shidduchim, and every person has a shidduch meant for him,/her. Sometimes the person misses out because their zivug was not shayach for being “too short, too poor, too fat, too quiet, too plain,not a big enough learner, not a big enough earner, and any of the other million reasons why someone refuses to go out with someone and truly get to know that person well. Hashem called out our zivugim 40 days before we were born. It does’t mean we were all smart enough to follow His directive.
