Hi, I’m a Bochur looking for Shidduch info on the Weissgardenfeld family in Monsey, particularly, their daughter, Shoshana Shaindel Shprintzel.
If anyone knows the family please reply. I have some specifics I need to know before giving a yes. Some people may think that I’m too nitty-gritty in my queries, but I think a Mavin would understand that many of my questions reveal the deeper character and mindset of the family, so I have compiled my top 11 questions.
1) Resumes don’t mean much to me, but i need to know how many words it contains. (I have felt over my dates that overly-talkative people have many more words in their resumes.)
2) Is the girl in question well versed in all the opinions of the Menorah in the Mishkan. (I don’t really know how much this is relevant, but I have very strong Emunas Chachamim in the esteemed Moros of the Bais Yaakovs)
3) Does the family eat Heinz ketchup? (I find those who eat Jewish brands tend to pity others in an unsolicited manner, and the ones who eat hunts have very poor judgement overall)
5) Do the picture frames in their house contain previous, or contemporary Gedolim?
6) Do they wear Egyptian cotton by the Pesach Seder?
7) Would the family be willing to release all medical history documents from the past three generations at moments notice?
8) Do dress up randomly on Purim, or do they theme their Purim costumes and Shalach Manos like its supposed to be?
9) Do they use Aspen, or Cleanex tissues? (I don’t like throw-around-money people)
10) Does the family hold of learning Torah with proper Derech Eretz?
11) Does the girl understand basic Yiddish words, like Tumult, Nudge, and Kibitz.
Just change the first line to: Hi, I am a Bochur‘s mother etc…
(If I’m not mistaken, you indicated somewhere (?) you’re married.)
I happen to know the family in question. I’m the father around. And it’s three separate daughters, Shoshana, Shaindel and Shprintzel. And from the deep questions you posed I sort of got your “deeper character and mindset”.
Anyways:
1) Just about 10.5 – we always use few words (don’t I?)
2) They’re all home schooled
3) We never sit down to eat ketchup, as far as I recall
4) All pictures are of me. In interesting “poses”
more later…
LF, don’t let any of your daughters go out with someone who doesn’t even know how to count.
DY: It’s okay. Apparently LF can’t count either so it’s a perfect match.
Word to the Weissgardenfeld family. BOLO on the Bochur.
froggy, can i download any of those pics on the internet?
I just received a call from the Weissgardenfeld regarding this shidduch. They wanted to know if the OP has a family minhag of skipping item number 4 on lists.
The Wolf
to continue..
(Sam, you’re right. Missed that in my rush)
6) I’m not into clothing, you see
7) For some reason they were mysteriously burned (in a fire I lit)
8) It’s the rest of the year that we’re dressed up
9) We use both, then wash and hang
10) “Sitting on the Torah” wouldn’t be called proper Derech Eretz, would it?
11) We only speak Russian (in fact I don’t even know English). I had an Engineer Masters in Russia (for horse and buggy) before I emigrated here to continue on as a car service driver.
That just proves he’s not really nitty-gritty.
propa funny
They don’t cut their fish at all
They make multicolored stacked garnished salmon and Chilean sea bass gefilte fish.
Just like Bubby used to make.
(And imply that they’d let a roll of FROZEN gefilte fish in their house and it’s them who will be calling off the shidduch…)
you all seem to think it’s funny but this really keeps me up at night. My six year old likes to make her own pony tail so it always looks messy, kind of like a six year old did it. How will I EVER get a shidduch for my other kids if she walks around in public like that!
You are just going to have to keep her out of the public eye.
cut the ponytail off

Syag, I wince when I see the way some little kids dress or comb their hair. But I also shep nachas, when I realize they did it on their own, and are asserting their independent thought. As long as it is not an issue of a dress code or such, or not a boosha to Shabbos or Yom Tov, we learn to pick and choose our battles. And as they say, just “let it go, let it go.”
oomis – so right about the nachas. I was obviously joking (tho my older dausghter may actually feel that way) but she is so proud of that ponytail that it would never occur to me to suggest “fixing it”. Yes, it is sloppy, but her teacher knows why and her classroom is not quite “public” in my eyes. I have never said a word to her about it because the look on her face when she stands in front of that mirror thinking she is grown up and independent is priceless.
