Reply To: Be Our Fly on Wall for Shidduch Symposium

Luv2laff: yes.

Actually, no, but it seems that way. And the dynamic duo, whose conversation was recorded earlier (and what about the rest of the convention? We want to hear about that too!) seemed to imply that someone explicitly said that there are advantages to marrying an older girl established in her profession. Advantage to the boy I guess. What advantages are there to the girls? What bonuses are they getting? I know, B”H, a boy who is seriously devoted to learning. Shouldn’t that be the norm? Back in the day the term ben Torah did NOT just belong to someone learning in kollel. It meant a person living his life according to the Torah who was seriously committed to growth, and learned significantly in his discretionary time. Are the girls supposed to be so grateful to find SOMEONE who will marry them that that’s what’s in it for THEM?
