Not everyone can afford a kiddush or like to do that. Why can’t people decide how to celebrate?
Back when I had a more comfortable living, i also made Kiddush for my daughter, it was over $1000 for a little kiddish. so maybe people can save on that by making it in the house. and maybe they are more happy to have a couple of Brachos made what is the big deal? Is everything new automatically rejected?so lets not use those smart phones for Mincha- Maariv, or learn Gemara from a Torah web site, or listen to Torah tapes in the car, or use Nanny’s to raise their children. There is all sorts of changes that have been made from how out ancestors lived, why is this need to pick on something when it comes to women, we raise our muscular sensitivities.
