    a married woman goes from being called Bas —— to Eishes ——.

    So we see that a Jewish woman, upon marriage, her name changes from that of her father’s to that of her new husband’s.

    ” A man’s legal names was “Piloni ben Piloni” and a woman’s name was “Pilonis bas Pilonis”.”

    A woman’s legal name is Pilonis bas Piloni (not bas Pilonis.)

    No male guests dance with the kallah, c”v, at a Mitzvah Tantz. Only the father of the kallah and the Choson do. And even then it is supposed to be only with immediate relatives around. Just because some people call a dance a mitzvah tantz and do unacceptable things doesn’t make it a mitzvah tantz. Other relatives dance only holding the gartel. The mitzvah tantz is brought down in numerous Seforim HaKedoshim. (i.e. Bach – Even Haezer 21, Chelkas Mechokek, Beis Shmuel, etc.) If you have an issue with it take it up with the gedolei poskim who permitted or even mandated it.

    iac, I don’t understand what your 80% (before marriage) and 50% (after marriage) mean. What do those figures represent?

    Also, the chisronos that (before marriage) you thought you could overlook and live with that turned out after marrying you found you couldn’t tolerate, how did you deal or manage with those chisronos?

    The whole last name concept, from A to Z, is goyish. Yidden, both him and her, traditionally never had a last name in the first place.

    His name is Reuven ben Yaakov and her name is Dina bas Yaakov. You’ll never hear anyone being called up to the Torah by a last name. Even today. Similarly, since you asked about marriage, the kesuba will never have for him or for her (or for the eidem) any last name.

    Binyan: The name you mentioned is that of one of the Shevatim and mentioned in Bereishus. The mitzvah tantz is mentioned in the Machzor Vitri (from about the times of Rashi.) The Mezinka Dance is absolutely a foreign/Ukrainian/gentile thing that certainly has no place at a yiddishe Chasuna.

    Gaon: I’m talking about apples and you’re comparing them to oranges. Walking her to her seat and sitting there isn’t walking her into the dance floor.

    APY: Normally a husband and wife are not permitted to publicly hold each other’s hands. There’s an exception in the Seforim HaKedoshim, for the reason you mentioned, when the Choson and Kallah walk from the chuppa to the yichud room. They can’t choose to do so other times they so desire.

    “Before marriage it looked like 80-20. In the thirty years it has become more like 50-50.”

    iac, just to clarify your point, you’re saying before marriage it looked like your kallah was 80% of what you were looking for but after 30 years of marriage you found it is more like 50%?

    SHY: How do you explain the huge amount of Seforim HaKedoshim throughout the centuries in galus, from the Rishonim and Achronim, warning us of the dire punishments for various aveiras?

    “The rest of the Jewish world doesn’t have to adopt their practices.”

    Again, the very Yeshivish, non-Chasidim, and most very frum couples don’t follow this gentile wedding custom of the groom and bride walking in side-by-side to the wedding party. This idea comes from places foreign to Yidden.

    “Many chassidim have the custom that the chosson holds the kallah’s hand as they leave the chupah.”

    Some Litvish and other non-Chasidim have that same minhag. (i.e. Yeshiva Chaim Berlin.) It is brought down in the Seforim HaKedoshim.

    “the minhag that the Choson escorts the kala to her seat. I will post sources soon.”

    By some chasunas the Choson and Kallah sit next to each other. Escorting her to her seat then is simple. (Although I wonder if it is proper for the Choson/Kallah to be sitting where they can view both sides of the mechitza. Many chasunas the Choson and Kallah sit separately.) But in any event, the scenario I described is the Choson escorting the Kallah to the dancing in the women’s side of the mechitza — not to her seat.

    “The “Very chasidish” IVe been too did not. but the majority which Id categorize as “regular chasidish” did.”

    Many of the regular Chasidish hamon hoam are like many of the non-Chasidish hamon hoam; they too have succumbed to the ways things are done in gentile weddings (in this regard).

    “By many, the custom is that the chosson walks out to escort the kallh to the chuppa (IE nisuin of old, where the kallah was brought into the rishus of the chosson),”

    Or, by some, the Choson walking the kallah FROM the chuppa (after it concluded) to the yichud room.

    “others dont consider the chuppa the nisuin, but, the later parts of the wedding ceremony including yichud and perhaps the hall where the seuda is taking place.”

    The hall with the meal after pictures are concluded makes no sense for what you describe. From the picture room to the party room?

    “Since when are the chasidishe minhagim the go to answer for everyone else?”

    I just used the very Chasidish as an example. It is the same by the very Yeshivish. Do you think that at Rav Malkiel’s sons weddings the Choson walked side by side with the kallah into the hall party room’s women’s section to the announcement of “For the very first time, Mr. & Mrs. Avrumi Kotler!!”?

    Which brings up the second part of this issue — the Choson walking into the women’s side of the mechitza (as a result of him walking side by side with the kallah into the hall), itself problematic — and sometimes the women even dancing up the kallah before the Choson left.

    Next we’ll discuss the issue of video taken of the women dancing that’s put into the wedding video that the Choson and other male members of the family and friends watch.

    “Now however, the nations themselves are allot more refined”

    You really believe that? It was only a few short decades ago that the nations engaged in a worldwide war, for the second time in a very short period, and wantonly murdered six million of us while everyone else watched and applauded the murderers even if they didn’t actually participate. Most of the occupied countries helped the Nazis murder.

    “Your whole argument against the draft is that those who learn torah should not go to the army as they are protecting Klal Yisroel”,

    No, that’s only one of several arguments. Another is that the Israeli army purposefully attempts to shmad every inductee. This is their official policy to be a melting pot. Additionally the behavior between male and female soldiers has always been very immoral.

    Throughout the Seforim HaKedoshim Klal Yisroel is admonished by Chachmei Yisroel regarding the various severe onshim we have for violating or not properly completing the various tasks that the RBSO demands of us. It is only in today’s messed up generation that the youth have demanded that the severe onshim not be mentioned too much.
