lets discuss a sugya about 15 av
the last mishnah in taanis discusses that on 15th of av the daughters of Jerusalem would go out and dance in the vineyards. And what would they say? Young man, please lift up your eyes and see what you choose for yourself for a wife. Do not set your eyes toward beauty, but set your eyes toward a good family, as the verse states: “Grace is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised” and it further says: “Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates”
the gemarah there brings a braisa with 3 types of girls what they would say – in ein yaakov there is a girsa with a 4th type
in yerushalmi there are only 2,
why is this?
is yerushlmi it says that the ugly girls would say, dont look at beauty, – and…. even if the boy does not look at beauty – she still didn’t give the boy a reason to marry her, also its emphasizing that they are not beautiful in bavli they finish “take (me) lishem shamayim
ok ill stop here for now
lets discuss (qwerty included)
