Popa’s right. I apologize to the OP for my tone.
I think you’ve gotten some good advice, though, to follow up on your own. Sometimes shadchanim need a reminder to keep you or your child in mind.
It probably is difficult for a shadchan to call to say they haven’t been successful in finding a prospective shidduch, but it might be helpful to call occasionally to ask if there are any updates. The very fact that he/she might feel bad to have to answer in the negative, might just give that little extra push to focus on finding someone.
Hatzlocha, may you soon be zoche to celebrate a simcha, and once again, please accept my apology for my insensitivity (and thanks, popa, for the musser).
Oi, that was the literal translation. It refers to someone’s personal opinion, not necessarily based on Torah sources or reasoning, and therefore likely to be off target.
LF was apparently making another reference to this week’s parsha.
You first.
LAB, I take it you’re single.
😉
Belly reasoning. Does that help?
Is it soo hard to call and say hi I’m still thinking of your daughter but nothing cooking right now
Is it so hard for you to imagine that maybe it is?
Sam, I’m impressed by your Bekius. 🙂
To be Melamed Zechus, it is difficult to say that a kollel boy who is being supported so that he can “start his life in learning” and is just “putting in time” is considered to be “Rabbanan”
You’re being very generous, and I hope you’re right, but the implication was that *anyone* not working is not a productive member of society.
The Ramba”m (which, as you know, we don’t pasken like) was talking about throwing oneself on the tzibur which is not today’s typical Kollel man, certainly not in the first few years of marriage. (I said that so Gavra won’t yell at me about tuition breaks.)
Also, the Ramba”m never negated the productivity of such a person.
So no, one can’t use the Ramba”m to avoid being called an apikorus by the famous gemara in Sanhedrin.
Sam, that people who are learning but not working are ch”v not productive members of society.
I’m surprised they took a credit card. I once broke down in yohoopitzville and the ripoff mechanic wouldn’t take my credit card because he knew he was charging way too much (I was stuck early on a Sunday morning). He drove me to an ATM to get cash.
I probably would have preferred popa’s pizza to the analogy.

Really, T613? I would have taken you for someone who wanted at least a few years in Kollel.
Rd, the implication of your post is apikorsus.
Salsa and cheese omelet. I like to leave the American cheese out for a while before cooking, so that it melts easier. I like the Kirkland salsa, which popa wouldn’t eat because it’s got an ?.
His loss.
Rebdoniel, refuah sheleimah.
DaasShnayim
I asked for that, didn’t I? 🙂
Daven to Hashem; ask Him to strengthen your emunah in Him.
How do you understand ??? ??? ?? ???? ???? ??? ???”? ?? ??????? ????????
The Ramba”m puts His yediah in the realm of His atzmus and says that we have no concept of it.
In the realm of the briah, the idea is a stirah, and since we live in the briah, for us it is an incomplete answer.
???? ??? ????? ???? ??? ??? ??????? does not translate to “to ask questions and then not answer them”, rather, it means to start something and not know how to finish it.
The Rambam’s answer was that it’s not comprehensible to the human mind, and the Ra’avad didn’t feel that it was worthwhile, therefore, to bring up the subject. That’s how I understand the Ra’vad (that disclaimer is a bit superfluous considering my screen name).
HaKatan, I didn’t say anything about keeping us together.
simply transferring some of ones own life force to someone else
Oh, and here I thought it was more complicated than that.
No alternative therapy that has existed for decades can be dismissed, there must be something in it otherwise it would not have stood the test of time.
By that same “logic”, no criticism of alternative therapy that has existed for decades can be dismissed, there must be something in it otherwise it would not have stood the test of time.
These things usually go by state, so if you have to in Wilson County, then the entire North Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee require it (Wilson County is apparently so large that it occupies at least four states).
Tennessee makes you do inspections?
Sam, that’s not what the Ra’avad said.
Were the first three comments yours as well?
Popa, some analogies break down sooner than others.
I said he was single.
Also, you didn’t let your son eat there.
Popa, probably someone like the guy your son ate the Shabbos seudah by, only single.
Randomness of the match should lead to a low success rate.
In my opinion, someone who has a knack for putting the right matches together, and for working with them so that they give it a fair chance.
As a whole, I would say it’s judged by success rate.
What do yeshivish’e cars and analogies have in common?
For the answer, see here:

Yes, Sam, I thought so too. Can a kindly mod please change that?
Pizza for breakfast?
I hope you’re not suggesting that it’s an oxymoron.
Fkelly, how would we know? Although if he’s halachically a rodef, it’s not our business to worry about that.
I assume that there will be a few days of chaos, but that it will get sorted out, and if necessary, other bus companies will take up the slack.
ROB, that story appeared in a yahrtzeit article on a different website. I don’t think it’s a whole lot more unreliable than had it appeared in print (which it might have, as well).
HaLeiVi, control is not the only reason for speed limits. Higher speed collisions have a higher fatality rate R”l than lower speed collisions.
LAB, I personally would never express it the way Sam did, but at least one of the meforshim claims that the Ra’avad did indeed misunderstand the Ramba”m. Of course, the Ra’avad disagrees.
The Ra’avad himself seems to admit (at least this is how I understand his concluding words) that his pshat will not be entirely satisfying to everyone.
The meforshim I’ve seen on the inyan (admittedly only a few) seem to take the approach of explaining (and I assume, agreeing with) the Ramba”m.
Oomis, Rav Dessler explains why we can’t understand this particular issue.
Sam, how can you simply say, “No” to LAB when he merely pointed to a valid mareh makom?
You are quoting Sam or me? I didn’t say anything about hidden or dormant.
The title of the Revach article.
My point is that the conclusion allegedly arrived at by the Kotzker as to the explanation for this chossid’s behavior doesn’t seem as likely as that he simply did an aveirah.
Rav Dessler speaks about it in Michtav M’Eliyahu (Vol. 3 pg. 262). Ayin shom.
Syag, choosing a candy flavor is not bechirah. An animal chooses which food it wants; our bechirah is what makes us special and allows us to rise above our physical instincts.
Yitayningwut, sure it does. It “explains” how Hashem sees our choices, but they’re still our choices.
Yes, that statement, to us, is a paradox, but only because we’re constrained by the concept of time.
Yes, the talmid. Hidden, dormant, whichever you prefer.
Well said, golfer. I agree.
Sam, I’m not familiar. Can you please explain?
Firstly, Rava argues.
Secondly, if this approach was reasonable (that there’s hidden rishus the whole time), why did Abaye need to say that Yochanan was Yanai, he could have said that he was always a hidden rasha.
Thirdly, I think you misunderstand the Tos. Yeshanim (see Ritv”a) but either way, why wouldn’t that be a reasonable explanation of the Chozeh’s shamash’ behavior?
Al Ta’amin does belong in the discussion.
Yes, I’m looking forward to frequent updates.
