I follow my husband’s Rav, bec now I married to him. I follow his minhagim as well. IMO, This is all part of respecting your spouse.
The one you marry is your bashert. After you get married you have to believe that Hashem put you with this person and this is meant for you. Some pple will say, “if I would’ve known this particular thing about my spouse beforehand I wouldn’t have married him/her.” Well, That is the reason you didnt know, because you were meant to be married.
smartcookie, I thought u would know
eclipse, I actually think a Dvar Torah is a very nice way of proposing. My husband didnt propose since it is not done in our circles. (We go through a shadchan)
I have cleaning help once a week. Everyone has differnt things that make them feel good. Personally, a cleaning lady to come and make the place sparkle is a luxury for me like some pple love getting pedicures.
There are reliable one in EY. I even heard of man cleaners here. They charge 40 shekels an hour.
Yeah, their ad in this week’s Mishpacha said sold out. We were trying to figure out, how much do you thing they pay each singer. Say Lipa for instance. How much does he walk out with after this concert?
The main thing I find strange about double dating is that what happens if one girl is more attractive than the other and both boys want her. It is for this reason that couples arn’t advised to mingle too much even once they get married.
Ladies, vlour zip up sweatshirt and a comfy skirt
My pharmacy boasts free delivery no matter what you buy. We once ordered a couple of items that a Mexican dropped off, it was one shopping bag. We gave him a dollar. He threw it on the floor and said “I don’t accept one dollar.”
dunno, I say not common, pple joke about it far more than it actually exists. (As with many other things such as Mother in laws, husbands and wife jokes etc….)
Of course Mishpacha got new staff members. They got someone Friedman for the Family First editor, they got a new recipe columnist…we dont know what else and who else works behind the scenes…
BP Totty, I had a good laugh. So true!
Or, How many guys in your Yeshiva?
Nothing important. The parents with their life experiences and maturity try to get a feel of the boy through mundane conversation. SOmetimes from these meetings the parents will feel that this is not for their daughter, and then spare the date
The grocery store was out of bread by 9:30 am on SUnday Morning. I think people took this thing pretty seriously.
I got a copy of the second issue of Ami froma friend. My husband and I thought it is FABULOUS! Loads of interesting articles and current events. Beautiful graphics and fabulous stories. If they can keep this up then Kol Hakavod!
My husband also gained a lot of weight and my MIL doesnt give me credit for cooing good meals…She aint too happy about it!!
Smartcookie, I agree. I would love to be my spouse for a day. Experience his day, thoughts and unspoken words…
I onc heard someone say 180 with inflation

I know a few people who really lost an amazing amount of weight which they otherwise could not have lost. But keep in mind it is a surgery and is not the natural way of losing weight.
smartcookie, exactly! You know the cholent is a little thicker when it is rewarmed. I am happy that my family isn’t picky. Sunday I am busy cleaning up from Shabbos. I am satisfied not to cook dinner.
We eat it for supper on Sunday. With colse slaw, cold cuts, potaot kugel.
rocker, I have not visited too many diff places. I am New Yorker who lives in EY. To me and to a lot of sheltered New Yorkers, every city, state or town outside of our 4 corners is “weird,” “different”, don’t take it personally.
But yes, I have been to Belgium for a Shabbos in the summer time and Shabbos started around 10:00. We ate the seuda after 12.
I know someone who bought a new house. They saved up and got a really good deal on a big, fixed up house from someone who needed instant cash. Imagine this – she said she is embarrassed to move cuz pple will talk – “why do they need such a big house”
“are they trying to pop our eyes out” etc.
No, pple don’t want you to be jealous of them. They do what works for them and what they feel is comfortable for them. By your talking and analyzing, YOU, with your small house, create the pressure.
I live in EY. This week when I went to buy the Mishpacha, I decided I would buy the Ami instead, (wouldn’t splurge on both 😉 ) When I got to my news stand the AMI wasn’t there, so I got the Mishpacha. I think the Ami should see to it that they get to all the news stands. I thoroughly enjoyed their first copy and await the second.
Yes, I wouldn’t say something I am embarrassed of…but I do appreciate the fact that I have screen name as opposed to outright saying I am ….
I am a female. In order to really give and understand diff opinions in various threads, I think it is important to know genders. Since men and women think and respond diff…
DO as much as you can and can’t on Thursday. Don’t even have a checklist for Friday.
I have an older oven which is non digital, I have a thermometer. Its fantastic.
My husband loves it.
I passed my first time after a lot of lessons with an instructor. I think you need to take a substantial amount of lessons to get onto the road. My father told me it is nothing to show off about if you pass the test and didnt take enough lessons. You need to feel comfortable behind the wheel and on the road, not just smug that you have a plastic card saying you did one decent park.
i think frum means shomer shabbos
There is a store called “Gluten Free shoppe” in BP. They sell just about every single Kosher product that is gluten free, from cookies to snacks you name it!! For someone that is on a gluten free diet it’s a wonderland!

I got married in my twenties, which is not old yet I was out of school for a number of years, in which time I held down 2 jobs went to shiumrim and tried to keep very very busy. I stayed at work till about 8:00 and then ran to a shiur. In this way I was so distracted. That’s one helpful way perhaps.
metrodriver, I have walked into clothing stores countless times, only to see the saleswomen on their cell phones. When I asked a questions or about a diff size I felt like a pest. Believe me, when an owner sees a customer walk into her store she hangs up her phone and tries to make a sale even if it means up and down the steps to the basement three times.
How many times have u walked into store near closing time and the workers want to get out at closing sharp, even if you have a handfull of items. THEY DONT CARE! They are getting their paycheck regardless.
Whereas me, in a family business, this past week for example was holiday season and holiday sales. We all worked many hours overtime. We CARE for happy customers. We CARE to make sure that everything is ready and organized for the next day.
I think you simply cant compare the devotion.
I got a copy of it, came to Israel this week. It is really well done and has very good articles. I wonder if they will be able to keep it up. There was so much in it.
I work in a family business and the advantage is that all of us workers are so loyal cuz its family. We have some other workers and you cant compare the devotion of family members to outside workers.
We know who is boss and i let myself be told what to do and am very subservient.
I start making shabbos on Thurs and I finish on Thurs. i don’t leave ANYTHING for Friday. I make one huge mess with the cooking so theres one huge cleanup of washing dishes and the floor (no dishwasher yet). My neighbor said she would never be able to serve potato kugel on shabbos that was made on Thursday, well I can, and it’s more than fine. Friday my husband has a more flexible schedule so we usually go out in the afternoon with the kids. Even on the short Fridays. For a walk, for pizza, shopping for a shabbos treat etc.
