MDD SAID: A child is considered an autonomous extension of his parents till his bar mitsva or her bas mitsva age, and can be punished for the parents aveiros (Parshas Ki Teitze, Pashi on the posuk “Lo yumsu avos…”).

I POSTED THIS ON A DIFFERENT THREAD THIS MORNING, BUT IT BELONGS HERE AS WELL.

Interestingly, that is one reason given for the little known shita that the bar-mitzva himself makes the brocho of boruch shep’turani. and not the father. He is making the brocho that he’s made it past the age that he can be punished for the sins of his parents.

A KSIVA V’CHASIMA TO ALL!

The most adorable shidduch related story I ever heard goes like this.

A girl (a bit older) shows up to R Moishe Feinstein’s apartment

for a brocho from the Gadol Hador.

Alas there is someone in by the Rosh Yeshiva, and she was told by the Rebetzin that she’d have to wait a few minutes.

The Rebetzin attempting to make small talk with her to pass the time, asks what kind of a brocho she wanted from the R. Y.to which the girl replies she needs a brocho for a shidduch.

The Rebetzin asks her what she’s looking for in a husband.

She replies that she’s looking for a Talmid Chochom.

The Rebetzin continues and asks how old she is. To which the girl responds that she’s 24.

Rebetzin Feinstein looks at her with a twinkle in her eye and asks, “Eib azay, farvuss viltz du an achtzig yerege man?”!!!

(TRANSLATED: If you are 24 why would you want an 80 year old man?)

You’re in luck!

We have a vacancy for this Shabbos!

Please meet me at the Sloatsburg station for details after Mincha this evening.
