    1st timer,

    In my experience, and that of some of my friends, having siblings who offered only useless criticism but no help in terms of time or money towards the care of a parent can be worse

    When people would ask why we had only one child, I wasn’t rude. I just asked why they wanted to know. Never got a response.

    Mammamia, what if the boy with looks was the first date and you declined the second date with the boy with the hashkaga. How would the result be any different? He’d still be gone.

    what if you became emotionally attached to the same two boys, but you didn’t date them at the same time. One declined a second date and then you dated the other. How is that any different?

    Golfer, what are your sources to assured it?

    How is it deceit? No commitment has been made when there hasn’t even been a first date As for making the wrong choice, the cause was more than likely immaturity on mommamia part in not knowing what she wanted

    Akuperma ,somehow you omitted Purim which celebrates a military victory. Especially Shushan Purim. As far your revisionist history most of the palmate did not serve in swim and regardless of the training. The Israelis had no planes, tanks or heavy weapons,only old rifles and makeshift bombs

    Loyal Jew is correct. He should find similar perfect bigoted families and stick to his own kind. I guess Yitzvhak and Rivka were tainted because of Esav

    Chulent, Worms is in Germany. All Germans spoke midieval German . How do you explain Polish Jews speaking German ? Until the movement of Jews to Poland our primary language was always the language of the host country. If the Jews who moved to Poland had adopted Polish, there would be no Yiddish. Ironically, centuries later the Jews who remained in Germany looked down upon their Polish cousins

    Ironically, Yiddish was a language born of Haifa and arrogance, not of kodesh.

    There is a good reason that it is based upon midieval German. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries German Jewry was suffering persecution and many responded to the offer of the Polish kings to move to Poland. At that time Poland ruled the Ukraine and what is now western Russia and the Polish kings saw the Jews as an instant mercantile class. However, being Germans, the Jews refused to speak the what they viewed as thecrude Slavic language of the poles and continued speaking their midieval German which evolved into Yiddish

    Derszoger, I’m talking going back to turn of the century. The chachomim had so little confidence that Yiddishkeit could compete,that they preferred they continue total live under Russians oppression. Had the chachomim sent rabbonim to prepare for the millions of Jews who left Europe anyway, it might have gone differently
