YWN Ed and Mods: Is there any forum where the issues I brought up on this thead, that were not allowed, can be brought up?
Trust me,they were NOT fabricated.
No
What shidduch crisis? No less people are getting married today that 40 years ago. The only difference is the frum get married younger today.
Tomche, Hee hee is all I can say. ; ). B”H for you that it hasnt affected your family. There’s almost no frum block, where Litvish families live, where there isnt at least one single girl over 30. Gimme a break.
arwsf, youre better off! Theres a big problem with eating one bag- you crave another and another and another and another….Ain l’Bamba Craving Sof!
Now that Im addicted, what do they cost usually? Is Pomegranate’s price of $1.49/$1.59 (for the 2 varieties I mentioned) the average price?
The plain Bambas dont excite me, its the hazelnut and sesame (halvah) that do. Theyre $1.45/$1.59 in Pomegranate, how much are they elsewhere?
arwsf, that was disgusting of you, NOW IM ADDICTED!!!!!! ; (
BOYCOTT! This is a serious case of bait and switch!
Can someone explain how all the heimish companies sell canned corn. How do they “debug” all the corn for thousands of cans a year? Do they all grow in greenhouses? Doubtful.
Never heard of it. Daughter says theyre gross, but 2 people gave it a 5 star rating on Amazon.
miriamr, do I get this correctly, are you saying that for 40 days straight you said Shir Hashirim between 12:44am and 4:23 am? For 40 days straight, you never were asleep at that hour? Wow.

For those people whose system is sensitive try not to use the chulent mix, but buy sepperately the small baby lima beans, the smaller white beans,barley, cranberry beans, avoid kidney beans those are very heavy to digest,…..You will feel alot better after Shabbos. Zim Gezint
An article in this weeks Mishpacha agrees.
Im not sure youre furthering your cause by posting all of these examples. Everyone who reads this who is the type to have done any of those things, will just think everyone is like me, whats the problem? and will continue doing what theyre doing, thinking they have lots of company among us (unfortunately).
jmj, I could have written the above mself. I definitely identify. My parents knew people who were the biggest Talmidei Chachamim before the war, and “knew Shas backwards and forwards” and decided to chuck it all after they saw their lives shattered to the extent it was, with most family members being murdered and other atrocities.
How dare we judge those who were not 100% frum as a result. Ive heard many say that if todays generation had to survive a Holocaust, very few would remain faithful to their faith. Today people (young and old) are so spoiled, they cant even survive without their cellphones and internet, they go nuts without it. Imagine today’s generation having to survive horrors and how that would affect them ch”v.
miriamr, please can you define “between chatzos and alos”. Thanks.
I think similar to Macho.
Goq, No matter how much you want to you cannot disassociate him from his roots.
Right! To the world at large, the details are irrelevant. He is a Jew.
miriamr, with these times, when should Shir Hashirim be said according to your Segulah? Between 1:02 pm and 4:21 am or between 4:21 am and 1:02 pm?

ronrsr, you deserve the Nobel Prize for that one!!!
But where’s the money going to come from? No one has any extra money except for their vacations and summer homes and designer duds…..Everyone is penniless and barely making it (until you see them in the most expensive vacation spots and stores….).
Hacham, I agree! If everyone knew the ratio of failures to successes, they’d flip. A huge percentage of Shadchanim’s ideas dont survive past the first phone call to the first side.
pba, But do you want to be justified or helpful?
I agree! No one was ever forced/scolded/frightened/warned to do Mitzvos or abstain from Aveiros and then did so willingly.
Englishman, If we would stress more how bad the punishment (gehenim) for sin is, there are some people who otherwise would sin that would then refrain.
People do things to satisfy needs, whether right or wrong, healthy or unhealthy, whether they’ll pay for it dearly later or not.
It wouldnt hurt if Parenting courses were offered at High School level, regularly. Theres so much I would have liked to know when I was younger, that I had to find out on my own. A little less Chumash/Rashi and a little more open discussions/”real life” courses.
ovadia The murderer is a rebbe in a cheder in Elad. He claims that his reason for doing it is that it says that before Moshiach ben Dovid comes, Moshiach ben Yosef has to die and he decided that Rabi Elazar was Moshiach ben Yosef. He was trying to expedite the process.
I read that he was unhappy with R’ Elazar’s advice regarding his marriage.
Im wondering whether what I read that he had negative involvement with two seventeen year old girls, has any truth.
RavKT,
The one reason we all love the coffee room is to hear and argue and discuss all the different views on almost anything you could think of.
Agreed!
And within many families there are members with different levels of observance. Only Hashem can judge who is more heilig. We dont see everything everyone does.
bpt,
Her side = 10% of the ring or $500, whichever is greater.
His side = Depends:
* Working boy? A flat $500
* Full time kollel? 20% of the the kallah’s estimated yearly earnings or $1,000 whichever is greater.
Ive never heard ridiculous figures like that in my life. Hes not serious! Or, Im starting to think bpt, isnt a b oro p ark t atty after all. No way!!! Ive been living in BP for almost half a century and these figures arent bp figures!!! The wealthy give more, the not wealthy give less, but only the very hard up or BT’s/Gerim give below $1,000, because they dont have parents paying for them.
bpmum, if a shadchan is not happy it is a hekpeida on the couple therefore i am happy with wether its 50 1000 or 5000
Thats why Im easing out of this. Seeing pics of a luxurious weding, just made me feel cheated. I think I would have gotten a tablecloth or similar, had I not spoken up.
Tacky my foot! Ask them!
