Is it feasible to say to a boy I need an answer in a week or the shidduch is off the table for after all you want the girl to go out with someone, not wait for someone to say yes, hopefully, eventually.
No, because it isn’t true. When he wants to date her, he’ll just call up a shadchan and say, “hey, can you call shprintza’s parents and tell them I want to date their kid?”
Would things be different if you mentioned the name to the girl first got her yes, and then went to the boy?
No, because it would change nothing. You would go to a boy, tell him sara wants to go out. He would say, “so does rivka, rachel, leah, bilhah, and zilpah; so I’ll think about it and get back to you if I’m interested.” And when he called you back, you’d better believe the girl would still be interested.
Would it force an answer sooner if he knew that a girl (not just a shadchan) was waiting for an answer?
That it would. In which case, he would say “yes” to bilhah, and “busy” to sarah rivka rachel leah and zilpah.
Really, when guys don’t say yes or no, it isn’t because they are being jerks. It is because the answer isn’t yes or no. It is, “well, it depends what my other options are. I can’t be expected to divide all girls into yes and no, and then go out with the yes girls in the exact order I find out about them.”
And if you don’t like it, become Modern Orthodox. I hear they can change the torah, maybe they can change nature also.
There are already plenty of singles events. That is not a chiddush, or the solution.
I’d like to see the guy get a job 10 years out of college. Good blazes luck with that.
I think you do it, and let the court and prosecutor decide what to do. That is their job, after all.
I see. So you have concluded that each is for a different reason. Well, I have concluded otherwise.
Why do you assume your conclusion is more correct than mine?
Your wife asks you what your cousin’s name is, and you shriek “Joseph” and call the police.
Just because someone is critical of Israeli policies or Israeli leaders doesn’t mean they are unjustified or wrong.
Depends which policies. If for example, they are critical of Israeli policy of allowing toeva rallies, then they would be correct. If for example, they are critical of Israeli policy of protecting us and killing terrorists, then they would be- as you say- “unjustified” and “wrong”.
I wasn’t surprised in the least.
Sarkozy is a frenchman. We jews have experience with the french, and it isn’t good.
Obama has shown his colors plenty of times as well.
Yes, I agreed with that post from aries also, but I wasn’t sure what the point was.
We all know that girls mature faster than boys. But that is just the way it is. The 20 year old guy is not immature, he is a 20 year old guy. He is acting age appropriate.
I’ll address the BTL part.
I guess your asking because you have some delusion of using it to go to law school.
If that is the case, it is a very bad idea. You will need to score in the top 1% of LSAT test takers to have a chance at a good school, and even that the good schools, half the graduates are not getting jobs in the big firms anymore.
And unlike other jobs, in the legal field, if you don’t get a job in the big firms, you make about a quarter the amount and still work the crazy hours.
Plan your own life, but yeshiva —> law school, is not a good plan.
I would do it for 150k.
Alternate side parking is also illegal.
No it isn’t. You are wrong. The DOT parking permit allows you to park in “No Parking” spots, without any condition that it be for a good reason.
Also, I heard a decently funny version of this song, with a bird hit by a truck and a homeless guy, and a turkey. I don’t think I know all the words though.
Hey! Get a stinking grip!
These people leave their families during the shabbos meal, leave shul on yom kippur, leave their jobs, leave their bed, etc.- all so that you shouldn’t have to call a taxi when you get a broken arm or a cut that needs stiches.
I’m ok with them taking advantage of their legally granted perks. The DOT permit does not say it can only be used during an emergency, and that isn’t the law.
No.
Is it safe to say that if one follows a psak of shammai hazaken that he is on solid halachic grounds?

It will not happen, but it is the only non-neis solution.
I agree with that. I am just surprised that you actually seem to think it is also a good idea.
GAW: Wait, you actually think guys should get married at 19? I thought you were just saying that would be the only mathematical way to solve the problem, but I couldn’t imagine you were endorsing it.
Well, good luck with that one.
Congratulations!
(see http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/changed-topic-of-shiur-do-i-have-a-right-to-be-disappointed). I don’t think such behavior is ok, do you?
Wow. I missed that the first time around. This is some excellent mosherosing, and not at all consistent with his usual hit and run kanaus.
NASI (AZ): You don’t really help your credibility, when you play games with us, pretending to not be who you are, and to not know what you know.
You can help by paragraphing often. I won’t read a paragraph if it has more than like 8 lines.
Not meaning to change the topic, but another difficult question is how to interact at work with Jews married to non-Jews.
I once had a supervisor who was an African American man. We used to shmooze a lot, and once he asked me what our community felt about intermarriage.
After I answered, he tells me his wife is Jewish. Blazes!
heh heh. 19 year old guys.
We’d have a different shidduch crisis. Women not being willing to marry kids.
photegenic: I am very confused about what you are asking.
Do you mean because they are the other gender?
Or do you mean because they are non-jews?
Or do you mean because they are non-jews of the other gender?
Did you try that first, before coming looking for other ideas?

observanteen: I don’t think Jothar said anything has changed. You should always be practicing internet safety.
Especially since we have our very own confirmed creep.
I’m with Team Jothar! Keep up the chessed!
I’m with Team Jothar. Keep up the pressure.
2) We thought the property was in the shul’s name. Get it now?
(in sing song voice)
I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you.
The landlord (whose shul we pay rent to)
We CANNOT be a part of this.
Dude: You’ve been paying rent to your landlord’s shul for years, and now you think maybe it’s a scam?
You’ve been knowingly part of this for years.
