dunno, dont worry and Hashem does not forget about anybody. Just do your hishtadlut and hashem will take care of everything beezrat hashem.
Before a person starts to look for a shidduch they should be told what they should expect being married to a kollel guy 10 or 20 years along.
They should really think about it with a open mind and with a lot of common sense.

Like a pizza.
I think I have to agree with jphone here.
I knew of a couple, the guy 42 and the girl 34 who broke the engagement 3 days before the wedding. Now I don’t know the details but they BOTH obviously have their issues.

That is so terrible!

Actually in Mexico people like to make the syrian food a little spicy, guess its the influence of the country. 🙂

My recipe for bazergan is a little different than mazals
1 cup fine cracked wheat
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup oil , use less
1 cup temerhindi
Chopped onion
Cumin
Chopped green chili
2 tbs Chile ancho, its a dry chili that you seed, boil and then blend in the blender.
Soak the wheat with water and add everything.
Enjoy!

I make the hamud but I add chopped carrots and some kibbes and I also serve it over rice with peas on top.

I have the bazergan recipe but I have two versions , a spicy one and a more tomato one. Which one do you want?
We had been in Hershey Park surrounded by all the chocolates for 2 days.
So driving back we stopped in a toll booth and an African American man was in the booth, my little sister who was about 3 or 4 shouted “look a chocolate man!!”
I was in Paris when my son was 3, he was very impressed with the eiffel tower and with the arc of triumph, so much that when he got back to school he wouldn’t build a regular tower out of legos it had to be an eiffel tower!
I was so embarrassed when the teacher told me. …
I knew someone who was going out with guys but hadn’t met her husband yet and people would say very insulting remarks insinuating that she didn’t pray enough.
I don’t think that the same person who made those remarks wouldve been too happy to hear those same words whenever she had any difficulty in life.
So unless you would want to hear those comments back at you in another situation don’t say it.
There was a terrible tragedy in our community last week. Four wonderful people passed away in a terrible accident. Everyone is still reeling from what happened and people are having trouble continuing with their lives and people who barely knew them are breaking down to cry when least expected.
Also try to stay away from msg in your kitchen, instead use herbs and spices like mint, cilantro, parsley, etc.
I try to start off all meals with vegetables, like vegetable soup and salad without or with a teaspoon of oil.
Cook everything with Pam, oil has to be banned from the kitchen (only use them for challahs and desserts for shabbat)
Make meals filling with steamed vegetables or stir fries with Pam.
I thought this thread was really about food! Lol!!
😉 ….until I read it!
Another point that really shakes a person up after tragedies such as this one, is the fact that we also feel vulnerable and fragile. If your friends were full of life 3 days ago and now they are gone, how do we know what Hashem will send tomorrow, or next week or even next month?
I think that the neshama stays in the house of avelut for the whole week and then it goes to olam haba.
To the soul?
Sounds good oomis!

I make rice like you!! 🙂
I like the idea of hiring a PI and following her around for a couple of months…. Is this what we are coming to?????
Handwriting analysis???
I was actually in Izmir, Turkey last year. It was really beautiful and there is even a Jewish community there in Turkey.
I’d recommend them to just wear baseball caps and to be careful, as you should be in any foreign country.
What chops said is true, maybe this persons children got married young because they chose to overlook certain details in the shidduch.
But you’re right a person should NEVER judge anyone. We don’t ever know what a person is really going through.

Really?? I guess you just become used to being very careful with how you walk around and where you go when you’re living here. Oh, and pray to Hashem of course, because anywhere it could be dangerous.
I remember when I was in school, the teachers would have girls spy for them to know what the other girls were talking about and what they were doing out of school.(they weren’t doing anything serious)
I personally think it is terrible to teach students to be moser on one another.
You think NY driving is bad?? You haven’t seen bad driving like I have… People don’t let ambulances through, fight with school buses, drive at 100kmh on residential avenues and escape from the cops on daily basis!
Well mexico city has a very nice frum community, the weathers nice and there are kosher restaurants, religious schools , mikvahs, etc. But its a different country so its VERY different to anything you’re probably used to. So it could be a culture shock to a lot of people , especially if you’ve never been out of the NY bubble.

Is the health care bill forcing me to buy an American health insurance that I don’t want nor need?
About Mexicos health care, there are 2 types of insurance, social care and private care. Social care is usually given by an employer to the employees and it has its own hospitals and doctors. Their service is terrible.
Private care is for people who buy their own insurance, usually American or foreign insurance companies or for people who for some reason don’t have insurance and have to pay out of their own pockets. There are beautiful private hospitals and private doctors that charge a much less then in the US because there is NO malpractice insurance. (that’s why people with PRIVATE insurance go to the US for treatment, because doctors and hospitals are more careful not to mess up)

When I went out with guys, they would usually call me directly and if I didn’t want to go out I would have to find a way of getting out from going out. Now while it was very awkward it was usually easier than when a 3rd party was involved because somehow it would cause even more misunderstandings, and this way no one was able to force me to continue or to stop going out because the final decision was always mine.
Someone copied and pasted the same exact OP!
This could be checked in halacho.s lashon hara and is not a simple matter.
I like to hear other people points of views, people who I would have no contact with if it weren’t for YW. It keeps me updated on everything that’s going on!
Happy birthday aussieboy and smartcookie!!!
Well I use vinegar for my kids milk cups. So that should work for the smell.
Now you can buy garlic again?
Does the kof k have a website to verify this?
They do have a website but I was unable to verify this. – 77
Ames!! Where have you been?? 🙂

Try telling your parents that you don’t really want a learning guy even though they think that you do. Hopefully they’ll listen to you and you’ll be able to go out with the type of guys that you are looking for.
Good luck!!:)
Wow! Stranded shouldn’t listen to her friends! If she likes the guy and feels comfortable with him she should do what’s best for herself!
I had one taken off with liquid nitrogen.

I don’t know if there is a crisis. There are some people who are not married yet for various reasons, maybe they lack looks, family, money, or a prestigious name. Sometimes they are really too picky and once they realize that and lower their expectations and are open to more options its easier for them to find someone. But I cannot say all cases are the same because it wouldn’t be fair.

So I guess its a good thing that I’m sephardic. Besides in mexico the girls do begin to date at 16-17 even the Ashkenaz. If the parents see a guy they like for their daughter (kollel or working , FFB or BT .they don’t care because since the community is so small they know the family) they make the shidduch.
Okay, so if I would have a daughter that is in high school I would make sure that she starts going out as soon as she is 17 with guys that are between the ages of 20-25. That way she’ll actually have a shot at getting married since she will have a head start.
AZOI its true that singles do become more modern as they become older, probably because most of their friends are married and they have to find new friends and also because of work environments.
Oomis I totally agree with you.

A boy is supposed to like girls and a girl is supposed to like boys whether or not his head is in the gemarah. Period. That is how Hashem created us. That is why we are supposed to get married to someone who we are physically attracted to.
If a particular boy or girl wants to go out with someone at a young age the parents should allow it as long as it will lead to marriage.
Happy chanukah!!!! Shabbat shalom everyone!!!! 🙂
