Ditto to 646. If this a factor in courtship than your’e not marriage material & neither is she. Spare the both of you and move on
If you want to avoid problematic content, the daf yomi should be avoided as well. Come on people get real!
OY! and we were taught that OUd is treif. How can you take anyone seriously who uses “CUZ” There are those who believe this is a word
Have you actually proposed yet & does she want to be your wife?
When I was a young man, about 30 years ago I had an afro. It lasted for months. Now I am a grandfather and the kids got frum
I am told in certain circles a man does not address his wife by her first name.
Here’s my observation. In a shul on a Friday night, if the men are wearing yarmulkas, it’s modern orthodox. If they are wearing black hats it could be right wing modern orthodox or yeshivish. Also the general perception is the wider the brim on the black hat the more frum the wearer is. Of course we all realize this is not really so
This is a very curious observation though there are no rules, culturally or otherwise. AS a matter of fact I have never thought about it until this morning when I opened this site. IT doesn’t really matter much as my neices & nephews have come to know me and address me as the rest of the family does: my first name. To all of you folks out there in the Jewish blogosphere who have children of marriagable age or who are married already,it’s very important to set the stage to in laws and childrens spouses on how you would like to be addressed. If this is not carved in stone they will end up calling you nothing or ” hello” . My parents addressed there mechutanim as Mr or Mrs Shlepowitz which which I always thought absurd unless you are in your 40’s and the in laws are 70 something and Rabbi or Rebitzen in a big shul, Even than first names should be incorporated. Now to push the envelope IMHO to address a mother in law or father in law by first name is the way I would like it though that’s not the way it is in my family though I wish it were. Sorry to use this yeshivish site as my personal platform. And if the moderator deems it inappropriate and deletes it an blocks me out from future comments it’s also OK SHALOM
I would close the door with my elbow I am upfront with the ai bish ter and don’t have to use my sister in law to fool him.
I am going to be banned for my answer.So you guys know what I was going to say anyway
A better question might be should girls have shoes? Shoes may lead to walking and who knows…it’s a slippery slope from those mary janes (shoes that is)
The Young Israel of eastern parkway had dancing in Thursday nights after basketball in the gym . We were regular American teenagers who happened to have been raised in observant homes. Of course there were guys who opted for salami sandwiches at mishmar . Some are dead & some are living…in my life I’ve loved them all.
Actually having to spend a shabbat near NYU Medical Center I found myself in a shul on E 29 St. It really felt like “an out of town shul” especially the tuna and concord grape wine at the so called kiddush
My daughter was redt to a young man who we were told stutters. He only wanted to meet initially on face time & she was agreeable. The encounter was done in the privacy of her room. Well guess what- she wants to have a real date with him. I am concerned and frightened. What if they fall in very deep like and where does that leave my younger daugters?
