Bodek

Sara Palin seems to be the only one who is not allowed to do that.

Hashem Is Everywhere: “Bodek, ?? ?? ?? “

?? , no , nay – this is keeping me way to busy – my boss is not gonna be very happy when he finds out about this!

another thing, i doesn’t bother me if you don’t like lakewood – everyone can have their prefference of places they like or dislike.

but to say that you hate a whole segment of of the jewish community – is taking things a bit far…

AZ – i did not say my Dad would give 20 bucks – I think he’s gonna be in a very expansive mood when i get engaged- and will give alot more than this 😉

This Shadchan is his close friend – and he knows how he works quite well.

Shadchan works for a certain yeshiva, so he knows all the boys and their families.

This is not his only parnassa, so money is not the only deciding factor when he thinks of redding shidduchim.

Obviously families with wealthier means give a larger shadchanus than those that cant.

but he doesn’t demand it…

How do you report inappropriate posts?

Listen to this one: I was discussing a shidduch possibility with my parents when my father says maybe we ask Mr. X about this guy he charges $20. I said, “what? $20 for every shidduch he redds?”

“No, $20 for every shidduch that goes through!”

Basically, he doesn’t have a fee – everyone gives what they can – it seems the minimum is $20….

This Shadchan has made over 200 shidduchim.

This is one person in it Leshem Shamayim!

Amen!

Oomis,Thank you for your warm wishes!

Hey Moderator 80! This is cool! Now we’ll surely win this debate 😉

GO latkes GO!

I personally know many, many quiet girls that are married quite happily. When looking around at the girls still waiting in my age group -I can honestly say that we are defintely not a group of shy and quiet kids – QUITE THE OPPOSITE (pun intended) we are a great bunch of talented and successful girls to whom Hashem has not yet bestowed the Beracha of marriage.

However, one thing I would recommed – if you are a quiet kid – or even not so quiet and you see the shadchanim are not calling – you gotta take the ball into your court – and start calling and meeting shadchanim – get the word out that you wanna get married! Get out of the house – go to every wedding ur invited to – and parties whatever – you gotta be out there and be seen – so people know you are still around and looking!

I once heard someone explain the issue of wearing brand name labels as being an issue of Gaavah. The Label gives the wearer a certain (misplaced) sense of status and taste and budget.

I have some friends who will only buy brand names that do not have the label on the outside – some go so far as to acctually remove the label.

J-a-G: Granted, HE has not done anything wrong.

But what about the rest of his family????

Is he willing to take the blame for his spouse and or children looking at and being in places they would never have even dreamed exsisted had he had a proper filter on his computer.

what happened to the theory that the best conversationalist is a good listener?

don’t tell me it’s just a theory or a definition for the dictionary alone….

Try it out for yourself, and you’ll see it really works!!!

Speaktruth, what happened to you is not such an out of this world occurance. My cousin from Israel had been dating for a while when she told me about a similar story she witnessed when on a date in a hotel lobby. She must’ve been sitting a bit past the entrance, because first she see’s one couple getting a drink and then sitting down. A while later she noticed a second couple get a drink from the bar and then go sit down at another end of the lobby. About 15 minutes later (she must’ve been really bored with her date if she noticed all this…)the second couple walked over to the first and redfaced switched off dating “partners”…

I was babysitting my neice when my sister called.

My sis spoke to my neice over speaker phone. After talking to her mom for a few minutes, i noticed my neice examining the phone – then she scrunched up her face and said “mommy, are you in the phone?!?”

My sister was telling my two nieces (aged 2 1/2 and 1 1/2) about this week’s Parsha.

She told them about Yetzias Mitzrayim and how all of the Yidden went out of mitzrayim even the little kinderlach and babies…then she started marching around the table singing the yiddish song “azoi zenen de yidden arois fun mitzrayim…” My sis did not think the 1 1/2 year old understood much of what she was talking about. When, all of a sudden she sees her little one taking a doll and putting it in a small knapsack…:)

Dos is “zaier” vichtige fuddem – veil oib men redt yiddish, tracht men yiddish!
