Romance is as much a goyishe concept as chocolate chip cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies were invented by the greeks and were originally brought as an offering to Zeus. This was because they believed that whatever was brought had to be better than what they themselves ate. So they put chocolate chips in the cookies for him, so that they could still eat cookies without the chocolate chips.
Me too. But if she reads the CR, she’ll already know it.
How about a conversation about what you value about her, and what she values about you, and what common values you have, and how it makes sense for you to get married.
Well, I think some of the posters were a bit overboard, but they are the same posters who are always trolling. I think generally nobody was distilling her value down to that, and I didn’t understand the question–or any of the normal answers–that way.
He probably already has cookies in my computer.
I’m hungry too. Make me cookies.
I am so glad we have now tied the value of a woman/wife to the functionality of her ovaries/Fallopian tubes/uterus. Congratulations!!! Mazal Tovs all around!!! I think I’m gonna be sick.
I don’t understand your reaction. It is very natural to want to have children, and it is very natural to be concerned if a potential spouse does not have that ability. And it applies just as much to men as to women.
The rav, a big posek, told him not to say anything.
This story is astounding. I’m not sure I believe it, and it certainly is impossible to understand.
Sadly, many have a bias against heavier girls.
It could be worse. Men could have a bias against thinner girls, in which case all the women would want to be fat, which is very unhealthy.
zdad: You are kind of delegitimizing your other posts by posting this.
Is this something that can be ascertained by genetic or other testing?
If so, it probably makes sense to make an informed decision.
OOM: I was thinking the same thing.
And apekurma: Good point.
If you weren’t asking lekanter, you wouldn’t insert hyperbole such as: “Why is the Yeshiva velt so opposed to giving anything back to the State of Israel?”
I think it is worth staying up to date. You can’t expect to get married if you insist on being home every night by 9:00 PM.
What’s there to say? The teacher has problems, and should see a therapist.
You think the student has it bad? Try being that teacher’s husband for a day.
It is chukas hagoy to get married.
Isn’t there a less offensive way you could have asked this question?
You make it sound like you’re mad these kids were born because now he is asking for tzedaka. Why didn’t you just generically mention that you know of such a person and ask if it is appropriate?
Maybe. But I don’t think that really explains it.
If I go to a restaurant and it’s rotten, I’ll tell you. But no way I’d write it on the internet. I’m just not that sure about it to spread it to the whole world like that.
Does that really make sense? I don’t know. But that’s how it is.
zdad: You are correct, and it is appropriate to say lashon hara when it is l’toeles.
Most people are not interested in worrying about it though, so they just say “I don’t know”.
But, as it happens, most people I know would say if someone asked them in person. We’re just not comfortable posting it on the internet.
You shouldn’t be scared. It will be fine. You get a skewed picture from this site.
I know a guy who infected his wife with smallpox, and then, he had decorated the isolation room in the hospital with balloons and catheters that spelled “Will you marry me?”
Never understood why people insist on protecting an incompetent and not the frum Jew who could be wasting hard earned dollars because people didst warn him because of l.h.
Because people figure that they don’t know when it is muttar, so they’ll stay safe by doing nothing.
It isn’t at all clear that you stay safe by doing nothing–especially when it is for shidduchim–but that’s how people think.

I refer to politicians such as these as Orthodox-affiliated because affiliation with an Orthodox synagogue does not necessarily mean a person is a shomer mitzvot yid. There are many people who belonged to Orthodox Jewish Centers, Young Israels, etc. who are not religious.
lol
Pot calling the kettle black?
Yes, rambam issurei bia 15:3
Popa, the children are not mamzerim even if she is still married to the first husband.
Cool. Can you post the sources. I’d rather you do the research than me.
Fire safety is very different in Jerusalem where the buildings are made of stone. The buildings in Telz were wood.
I’m under the impression that building fires are not considered a threat in Israel the way they are in America.
Once in yeshiva, there was an electric heater that had a stuck fan and watch “breathing fire” on friday night. So I turned it off. The next day, I asked one of the rebbeim who said I should not have done so. He said that in Israel we should have just let it burn, since the building was stone and concrete and when the heater finished burning, it would just go out.
zdad: what was also Rav Elyashiv? He certainly was not involved with Goren in mattiring the Langers.
For the record:
In recent years, Israeli Chief Rabbi Goren (not chareidi by any standards, and quite a questionable rabbi) was the one who began annulling conversions which he didn’t like.
This story comes from the Langer siblings. Their mother was jewish, and she was married to a non-jew in Ukraine, who converted to marry their mother. Then, they divorced–without a get–and she remarried and gave birth to the Langer siblings. They came to Israel, where the rabbanut declared the mamzerim.
There was a big popular and political uprising against the rabbanut. Eventually, Goren ran for Chief Rabbi on the platform that he would be mattir the Langers. He won, and did so.
The theory he used was to invalidate the geirus of the first husband.
So, RD: which way you want to have it? Are the Langers mamzeirim or is the guy not jewish?
Because a person has plural ????.
go to tiberias!!!
This is a good idea. Especially since there are always lots and lots of girls there, so you have something to compare to.
Actually, the only marriage that the torah calls a chessed is a brother and sister committing incest.
To be frank: I don’t believe a word of what OP is saying.
The reason is that there is no community where her situation would make any sense. She asks if she should wait until 21, implying that the norm would be to get married now at 17. But, she also has a boyfriend with whom she has decided they would want to get married.
So, is she chassidish with a boyfriend? Or is she MO but wants to marry at 17?
I know a pescatarian.
I know the opposite. People who eat meat but not fish. It makes more sense, since animals we just kill and that is it, but fish are dragged out of the water and allowed to suffocate to death on the boats.
Well, the passuk talks about Yehuda buying stuff which is normally not thought of as appropriate to purchase. So that is a similarity with pidyon haben where you buy a child, which is not normally thought of as appropriate to purchase.
My real advice: Talk about something else. It is weird to try to connect the name to the concept of pidyon haben. Your name does not have to connect to every life event. I sure hope you didn’t name another kid Avraham so that you would have something to talk about at the bris.
No, they’re probably 17, unless they just turned 18 in the last 9 days.
I say you should get married and then divorced right away. Then, you won’t have to get married so fast, and will be able to wait until he is 21.
I know good vegan recipes.
1. Modern Cuisine.
You take soy mush, and you top it with soy sauce.
2. Chinese.
Take rice, and add soy sauce.
3. European
Potatoes. With salt.
4. Natural
Eat grass, fresh from the ground. Make mooing sounds as you do.
reggirl: there are plenty of shadchanim who know plenty of guys like that. If curiousity’s shadchan is too busy, he is probably not a very big shadchan anyway.
Just ask around for them. I think there have even been long lists posted on this site in the past.
Wisey: lol, I forgot about my riddle. That is the answer. I read it in a book somewhere, and this one was listed as “easy”.
In any event, the real answer is that the fingerprints on the outside of the window matched the fingerprints on the gun, and since he says he wiped the window, they are probably his fingerprints so he is probably the murderer. So he arrested him and took him in for fingerprint testing.
No, he might just like attention. Or, he might know something that incriminates someone else, and he is trying to draw attention away from that.
Is it just that because it is winter, it would be unlikely that condensation form on the outside of the windows?
That’s what I thought, but it can’t be the answer. Because then the policeman would just not believe him. But he arrested him. It isn’t a crime to lie to a cop about a crime you know nothing about (I think. But if its a fed, it is different, I think.)
I think your confusion stems from the fact that you forgot to substitute the vegan for the vegetarian. Try it again, and see how it tastes.
There is a shidduch crisis. You should marry someone younger than you. According to my math, that means you should marry someone who is 16.
I know a 16 year old guy who would be perfect for you.
Did I share my recipe for vegetarian liver here?
If you are vegan, you can substitute that, and take out the eggs.
Just to make this explicit: You are proving it from the fact that homicidal tendencies are genetic. So, you would be ok treating them the same as people who are homicidal.
In any event, I don’t think anyone is arguing that there cannot be genetic tendencies. The argument is whether it is a tendency (like for anger, or murder), or it is a foregone genetic conclusion (like brown eyes).
