Mayan Dvash, why can singles meet at an event that does NOT involve a Dvar Torah? The dynamics of a shiur are very different from the dynamics of a social event. Why, if it must be a lecture, does it necessarily have to a Torah lecture? I am not chalilh against D”T (FAR from it), but it seems to me that if the lecture was about some issue of general interest i.e., politics, medical ethics, current events, that it might lend itself to a wider variety of discussion among the singles. Not everyone can intelligently discuss Torah, sad to say, but virtually every To, Dick, and Heshy has an opinion on politics.
