I hear that Waterbury Mesivta is extremely difficult to get into these days, is that true?

I was extremely tempted to respond to your baseless statement, but I realized that it would be worthless to give you any credibility at all.

That’s exactly the issue at hand….. there are certain things which should not go as far as having the girl ask about a certain issue, but rather the shadchan tell the girl beforehand…. How unfair it is to have girls go out with boy after boy, only to get burned out due to the fact that they find issues which individuals found unimportant to mention.

He responded that…. ten years ago it would have been a totally different scenario and he would have said it should absolutely not be brought up, because even if the parents request the info. odds are that the daughter would be able to work it out, if the boy carried all other traits she was looking for. However nowadays, since we can confidently say that over 51% of girls consider smoking a serious issue, therefore if you believe that there’s even a slight chance that it may affect the marriage, not only do you have a right to share the info, you actually have an obligation to.

I personally gained a tremendous amount of Chizzuk, knowing that we cannot let a tragedy like this just pass us by…. We must strenghen ourselves, and take upon Kabbalos, as the Bochurim in Waterbury Yeshiva have done.
