    I am not sure what the benefit is of such a thread besides to put down a large group of klal Yisroel with no actual basis.

    In fact I know many yeshivish ppl, many more modern ppl and you CAN NOT generalize about this!

    Shpitzels are a way of having a second head covering. Shpitzel by definition is actually the thing that goes under the scarf.

    Someone mentioned a scarf with hair in the front. That is actually called a “fr-o-nt” must be said with the willi accent. I have a few friends who wear shpitzlech..

    We often had conversations about them being more of an eye-sore than a tzniusdik head covering..

    Interesting, After hearing everyones response you would think that few actually spend the extra bucks on the label..

    Doesn’t look like that when you go on the streets..

    I remeber flying as a kid, the airlines used to give out stuff for the kids. we once flew around the world and came back with a few decks of cards from the airlines, also backpacks and activity books etc.. Nothing like that exists anymore.. for free!!

    There are still ppl that are makpid that they do not receive these shots.. Chassidim are more into it!!

    If you go to Eim v’yeled after the first you will be the youngest one there, probably. Most ppl go to their mothers after the first and some even second! Not an option by me!

    Slinky and a polo with a zip up sweat shirt. i like to put the hood of the sweat shirt over my face so i could sleep with less noise and light! Also you get col/hot up and down so you could always take off the sweatshirt..

    Earlier posters mentioned “low risk..” Can I ask how a person knows?? A person is low risk til something happens that causes them to be high risk! Why wait for something to happen.. I am the youngest and my mother almost didn’t make it through ‘my’ labor.. After the other kids she was fine!! Go figure!!

    Rule #1 when redting shidduchim to friends, NEVER tell them that you are working on a shidduch for them. There is NO reason for them to get excited.. You can tell them you are working on something but not the details!

    The same halacha applies during the sefira or three weeks. if the music was not turned on for your enjoyment you may keep listening..

    Everyone knows when they go to shoprite they will hear the music. If you forgot that chances are you will forget what you came to buy as well.

    Make the decision b4 you go! Or as suggested CYLOR

    Seems like they are trying to attract everyone, satisfying no one!

    One article about R Soleveitchik, teh next about Lubavitch and Satmar.. NOt getting many satmerers reading a paper that stresses R S work!

    I recomend they work on one niche in Frum society.. But definitely not all!

    Would it be better to marry a woman who is not attractive jsut to regret it later? i know of a couple who got married and she knew that her husband wasn’t all that attracted to her looks.. It wasn’t long before they were divorced! How is she supposed to feel? Don’t do it to her for her and for YOU!

    Often divorces scar the children involved. As long as the children are stable people who have yiras shomayim and middos there would be no reason to say no!

    What makes you think that you will get another shvigger.. and besides is it ok to have 2 shvers?

    This is something that always bothered my mother. She felt she deserved the respect of being called “Aunt/Tante” and not just plain “sarah.” I don’t think it is so bad if to their face you call them Mrs A but when you speak about them you mention their first name!
