in general i think the question of where do we draw the line between hishtadlus and bitachon is a tough question but i am curious specifically regarding shidduchim. i was wondering what people’s understanding was? also the word bashert is used often what in your opinion does it mean? another way of putting it is where does a person’s free will end when it comes to shidduchim? thanks for you help!
I personally heard from a certain adam gadol (at this point would rather not say who), that shidduchim are different than every thing, and there’s no derech hateva involved at all. He was specifically responding my assertion that a certain girl was having a hard time due to lack of money.
Don’t understand, don’t know the source – but it was certainly a chizuk for the girl in question!
