Maybe the prizes and rewards are necessary, so that when the child grows up he’ll have good memories towards his school years and towards the religion he was taught about.
mybatMemberA person has to find the best boy for themselves. What could be good for one girl is not necessarily the best for her friend.
mybatMemberMaybe people should recommend shidduch world to friends or family who are looking for shidduchim. That way they could grow by word of mouth.
mybatMemberIf someone wants to go out with one of these guys, maybe they can ask a cousin or an older brother if they know a good working guy for them?
mybatMemberBesides, Friday night the coffee rooms empty!
mybatMemberI think I’ll have to reread the 7th book!! 🙂
mybatMemberWhy am I laughing?? 🙂 oh yeah ….. So now there are more boys…..
mybatMemberKetchup on latkes….. They are like french fries!
mybatMemberIn NY most people give chanuka presents. Don’t they?
mybatMemberCs
You are really probably going through a lot and you might think that your friends are going out with these “great” guys and you’re getting all the weirdos. But don’t believe everything you hear. You don’t know these “great” guys and you don’t know how they would treat their wives and families, so just because the guys you went out with seem weird(I can’t judge because I don’t know them) use your common sense and beezrat Hashem you will find your zivug who will be a good husband and a good father to your children.
mybatMemberWhy can’t we wish them luck and success instead of attacking them? If you don’t agree with the services, nobody is obligated to use them.
mybatMemberBalanced it is really very sad. I just hope Hashem should guide our children on the right way.
mybatMemberI feel that a parent has to give their child a lot of security and even if they don’t believe in certain things that other parents allow their children to do they have to be understanding and sometimes allow them to do/buy that.(as long as its reasonable) because they put their child in that school and they put them with those friends.
But really, really make sure that they are very sure of themselves.
mybatMemberOr bread crumbs maybe?

I know what you mean when you say that the girls want to hide from their teachers out of school. I have seen the affects of girls having so much resentment towards the teachers and school that once they graduate they completely rebel.
mybatMemberSorry for my ignorance, but what are minarets?
mybatMemberI can never find mint extract!
mybatMemberThey look good shikur, but the dairy ones look easier!
mybatMember80 it is the holiday of the oil!! Besides I don’t think they will taste too good baked! 🙂
mybatMemberHaifagirl
It happened in mexico. It was a very publicized story and it was all over the news.
mybatMemberI heard of a boy that was kidnapped and killed because of facebook. He had pictures of expensive cars, trips, etc unfortunatly he was victimized.
mybatMemberTelegrok
That’s great!I hope everything works out for the best!!
mybatMemberThanks jothar but I can’t get those here.
Rabbi of Berlin I went through that thread. But I was told that under no circumstance does any posek permit them at all so I was wondering who actually does permit them? This way I can have an answer that I can verify (I guess people in mexico are very BT so everything is assur.)
mybatMemberTamazaball but I heard they’re made out of cotton. So I think you can’t really use them.
mybatMemberBPtotty makes a good point. You come to a certain point in your life and you have to wake up and realize that you will never find a partner that’s 100% exactly what you are looking for. That could apply for an 18 year old as well as for a 30 year old.
mybatMemberBut let’s not forget that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What might be beautiful for one person could be repulsive for the next.
If someone goes out with someone who in your eyes is not pretty or handsome you might be surprised by their reaction.
mybatMemberIf looks were not important why did Hashem make it human nature for women to want to look attractive?
mybatMembergetzel, very funny! But why do I have a feeling that its not so far fetched?!
mybatMemberSometimes if the soup is too hot for the kids I throw an ice cube in it.
mybatMemberMoegreen
I think that BPTotty meant that husbands hate housecleaning.
mybatMemberWhat 600kilo says is true, you can really get big bargains in January. That I have done a couple of times.
mybatMemberWow getzel! I guess we can never let our guard down and we always have to act to a certain standard because of what we represent and how people see us!
mybatMemberHow about TVs in restaurants? Some commercials just make me embarrassed to even watch.
November 24, 2009 11:16 pm at 11:16 pm in reply to: A Wife’s Obligation Towards Her Husband & Kids #902274mybatMemberI agree funnybunny!
mybatMemberI agree with poster. What wolfish’s daughter did is a very nice idea.
Mazal I know of schools in Brooklyn that don’t allow bat mitzvah parties or even birthday parties. Now after I have seen how things get out of hand I totally understand why certain rosh yeshivahs would ban them.
A melave malka sounds really nice though.
mybatMemberShe’s not an only child and she’s not the only girl either. It has become standard to make very big bashes here. A relative brought Miami boys choir to their sons bar mitzvah a few years ago. (don’t forget airfare and hotel)
I am not judging. I just want to hear if this is seen as normal in most circles.
mybatMemberYes ronsr, I know that chances of dying from the flu is higher than GB. I was shocked when I heard about this person, he is a very big baal chesed in the community and Hashem should send him a complete Refua Shelema!
mybatMemberBein hasdorim
It would get too complicated, but thanks for the advice! 🙂
mybatMemberI know someone personally in mexico who is in the hospital with guillan barre (it was a reaction to the seasonal flu shot not H1N1)
mybatMemberI was not complaining about the bat mitzvah. It was actually of a very close relative and we went with a lot of happiness.
I was just wondering if this is the norm in litvish circles in NY.
In recent years people have started making these types of parties in Mexico and I just wanted to hear different ideas for celebrating this special day in a young girls life. (I am not asking about bar mitzvahs because the bar mitzvah boys read from the sefer torah and put on tefillin for the first time)
mybatMemberIts not worth it to buy online, the delivery comes out too much to mexico. 🙂
November 24, 2009 12:45 pm at 12:45 pm in reply to: A Wife’s Obligation Towards Her Husband & Kids #902267mybatMemberWhen a woman contributes a lot financially to the home the rules do change. It is not the same and we cannot expect her to be 100% taken care of physically, take care of a home and kids flawlessly. However when the husband is the sole breadwinner she does have the obligation to do her absolute best in her areas.
mybatMemberThey should really publicize that story so people should be aware of the dangers of being to trustworthy. Although its so sad that we can’t trust anyone anymore.
mybatMemberNo thanksgiving in mexico and no black friday, oh well…..
November 24, 2009 12:51 am at 12:51 am in reply to: A Wife’s Obligation Towards Her Husband & Kids #902256mybatMemberShe has to reciprocate and do her obligation in the home as well. The house should be pleasant, clean, she should cook for her family.
She should take care of her children, dress them, bathe them and give them attention.
November 24, 2009 12:48 am at 12:48 am in reply to: Crazy World: Russian Billionaire Buys Hitler’s Vintage Benz #668737mybatMemberThey should burn the car!
mybatMemberronsr wow!!!! where do you get those stories from??? 🙂
mybatMemberTrue oomis and wolf! Its important for a married couple to try and have dates and to go out regularly.
mybatMemberJAW22
You have to understand that while there are many couples who have very strong marriages there are others that married out of pressure and or of convenience. That doesn’t mean that they don’t like their wives but for them they don’t always see them as the most beautiful woman out there. When you combine that fact and the fact that they are hanging out with their friends and their wives it could be a recipie for disaster. (I’m not saying that it even leads to anything improper but they could start comparing spouses subconsciously) I’m not saying not to have friends or guests over (actually my husband and I do have guests over) it just has to be done with tziniut and without exaggeration.
mybatMemberOkay, so let’s assume that the guy in the story stopped to change the tire because he saw a girl that he liked, what’s the problem? He wants to go out for the purpose of MARRIAGE. Not to play around.
