    Look in the case of the Rema of Tzorech Godol -“like a Chasuna or Mila Seudah”.

    Yes, to turn on the lights, not to cook.

    You’ll never find anyone being matir cooking al y’dei aku”m for any tzorech other than a choleh.

    Definitely. No one is denying it. BUT further victimizing the victims, is NOT the Torah way.

    That’s your choice to call it victimizing, but the way I see it, paying more for a more difficult, time consuming job is not being victimized.

    MSS,

    I’m not clear on your post. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with my opinion that redting a shidduch with an older girl is more difficult than with a younger one?

    I thik that we should move all siddur and chumash parties, as well as nursery and kindergarten graduations, to 8:30 PM.

    To be fair, the OP also suggested Sunday.

    I received an invitation to a grandchilds Siddur play

    First of all, mazel tov! May he/she continue to grow in avodas Hashem.

    I think you’re being too harsh when you call this a lack of mentchlichkeit. Not everyone considers attendance at a siddur play as important as you do. Your difference of opinion with the school is probably in this regard, not that they think you should take off from work in order to attend.

    You can certainly call the school and share your concerns, and if enough parents and grandparents do so, they might reconsider.

    Human nature.

    A good shadchan does a lot more than just present a name.

    Hmmm… I don’t think so, unless someone acts as a central hub for that, such as NASI is doing for the older girls. (I think I’ve just answered your first question as well).

    who will wait now till their 21 if it will cost them more this will just increase the problem.

    No one’s intentionally waiting in any case (unless they are anyhow not ready).

    Hello99,

    We can start with M”B 326:16 that food is worse.

    We still have to differentiate between this and the case of the refrigerator in IG”M, but that’s merely gaining access, not preparing it and making it edible.

    Health,

    The oven did not cool -it’s Klor from the MB -95 –

    I’m not talking about that case. I’ll quote the R’ma which I am referring to:

    ??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ?? ??????? ???????? ???

    ???????? ???? ??? ???? ??? ????? ?? ???? ?????? ????? ???? ????? ???? ??”? ?? ??????? ?????? ???????

    Whatever they had, they didn’t have more than one and the flame was still on.

    No, it had cooled, which is why the servants moved the pots to the heating oven and lit it.

    “The Biur Halacha doesn’t stop at the words “tzorech Shabbos”, he also says “v’ain lo eitzah acheres”.”

    You put in words that it doesn’t say, neither in the Rema or the B’H

    I put in no words that weren’t there, as I said, the context is clearly not your imagined case.

    DY -“Do you care to explain why you don’t think it’s a diyuk (which, as I explained, is the simple p’shat, in context)?”

    I did already and I’ll quote from above:

    “And how do you know what the “the” is refering to? Maybe it’s left over pots from Fri. nite & he’s hungry?”

    I posted that before your post was visible.

    Why isn’t the hamon am machmir like the magen avraham if you said shma by that zman wouldn’t you be yotzei l’chol hadeios.

    Because the hamon am isn’t necessarily more makpid on being yotzei l’chol hadeios than they are on a few more minutes of sleep.

    I think we’re in a Sakana matzav already and only Gedolim can advise, perhaps by organizing and providing the “Who What When and Where” for older singles to meet on their own, or semi supervised, with the same interest and commitment as when planning Siumei Shas. It can be done.

    And has been done.

    Hello99,

    If you think the R’ma would be mattir bishul b’makom tzoreh gadol, now that I’ve shown you that mei’ikar hadin R’ Moshe holds like the R’ma, you should admit that Health was right that, at least according to R’ Moshe, one can tell an aku”m to cook a cholent for you (barring bishul aku”m) if you don’t have another hot food. I think you know that that’s not true.

    I should point out that my diyuk is not merely from the ?, the entire context would indicate that there’s no other hot food; the reason they would move the food is because, not having gas or electric as we do, the oven often had cooled by the time the Shabbos meal would start. They didn’t have an oven, a hot plate, and a crockpot; at most they probably had a cooking oven and a heating oven.

    The Biur Halacha doesn’t stop at the words “tzorech Shabbos”, he also says “v’ain lo eitzah acheres”.

    That’s a pretty weak Diyuk to create a Stira in the Rema.

    I’m not saying it’s a stirah, I’m saying the R’ma would not be mattir bishul al y’dei aku”m, even l’tzorach gadol.

    147,

    some fabricated Chumro

    Although it’s true that there is a kasya on applying Rabbeinu Tam’s opinion ti certain lattitudes (the G’ra asks it), there were many poskim who did so. In Europe (and even for a short time in the US), some communities kept Rabbeinu Tam even as a kula.

    You should refrain from posting your guesses as fact. This is not the first time that you have “fabricated” halachos based on your sevaros, as appealing as they may be.

    I don’t mean that it can’t happen. I mean since it’s unusual, there was no knas instituted.

    Ommis,

    I wonder why I have not heard any Gadol saying that the s’char mitzvah of making a shidduch for an older single (girl OR guy) would be greater in Olam Haba than for those easier to make younger shidduchim (lifum tz’arah agrah).

    From the letter signed by 70 R”Y:

    “In addition, shadchanim should work primarily for girls who are age twenty and above. Shadchanim who go further and assist older girls will merit ??? ???? ?? ?????.”

    AZ posted the entire letter here:

    If you've read "NASI Project Responds", have you changed your mind?

    As far as why the girls more than the guys, that is pretty clearly addressed in the letter.

    In the case you brought -the guy just wants to warm up Stam a pot

    RM”A says the pots which very much sounds like that’s their Shabbos food (certainly their only hot food, which is considered a tzorech gadol).

    The Biur Halacha (probably the one you were referring to) is explicitly only mattir (and hesitates to do so) where there’s no eitzah, and only because there’s a shittah that ein bishul achar bishul even applies to a davar lach. Clearly, where there is definite bishul, it is assur even al yedei aku”m.

    let s all agree on one thing..Throwing money at this problem will not solve it.

    I’ll agree when and if it fails. Until then, I’d give it a try.

    why dont we open a forum right here on YWN as anonymous as possible, and make shidduchim.

    Anonymous shidduchim don’t work. The boy and girl have to meet.

    Anyhow, the premise is wrong. If the problem were merely too many older singles, more shadchanim would be the proper solution. Since there’s a disparity, though, with more older girls than boys, the proper solution would have to address that.

    R’ Moshe ZTL was supposed to have argued with Rishonim in Igros

    Even when he argues with acharonim, he will point out that a particular acharon has a different opinion which should be considered.

    I don’t think he ever directly argues on rishonim, but he will sometimes explain their words differently than one would normally understand at first glance.

    Babygoose,

    i heard in a shiur by a renowned darshan that the bashert is only destined for the girls.

    Tosafos says the opposite.

    maybe this explains the gap bet. amount of boys and girls. YES, some boys were created for being bachlors!

    There are more unmarried “older” females than males, which would actually fit into the idea that the bas kol was said about the males. In truth, however, it’s possible that few really marry according to the bas kol nowadays.

    1)when you have a situation where you have 3 poskim to choose from- can I choose the rav that will give me the psak I want to get i.e. maykal ?

    I certainly don’t think that’s what the RS”O wants us to do.

    2)if I cannot get a rav now (Im on vacation, or it’s midnight, or the rav doesn’t answer his phone etc) can i rely on a heter in a situation where i know it is a machlokes?

    I’m going to evade your question now – get a hold of the number for an emergency halacha hotline.

    When that’s not possible, I would think that it depends on the circumstance; if nobody would be effected negatively by being machmir, I would think that would be the way to go, and then ask when you get a chance so you’ll know for the future. Otherwise, it’s a real tough call and not really an answerable question.
