How bout ice cream – cheese cake isnt going to work after a shabbos meal
i was at an aufruf when someone got up to speak and said the following: “i was learning in israel with the chosson and it was his birthday so i wanted to get him a gift. i didnt want to get something like a cake which lasts a few minutes and then is history so i thought and thought and went to the store and got the thickest book they had. i then gave it to him so that he could put it under the leg of his bed that was shorter than the rest to stop the bed from shaking – i knew it would come to use for about 14 hours a day….” The chosson was not too pleased by that speech…. it was said in front of his future shver….
i recently got married in a fancy hall that cost a lot of money – we had 800 people there at the meal. However, there were over 2,000 on the guest lists…. the hall was simply not big enough to seat everyone who was invited…. for technical reasons (lack of space) we had to cut back…. I very much appreciated anyone who came for chupa/dancing/dessert – even if there was no space for them at the meal… it does not mean they are second class – there were just obligations that needed to be met prior to inviting them… its a few months later and when i meet people i know in an instant whether or not they were at my wedding – I think you should try your best to attend…

if you read the language in the haftora – it says – vihinei hanaar meis…. generally speaking meis means dead… you can always argue how do you know the navi wrote with nevuah, but if you believe that the navi was written binevuah, you also believe the naar was dead… hashem did not perform this miracle for the sake of proving that he exists or his strength – he did it for the sake of elisha….
why go back 200 years ago and question the existence of atoms – what makes you think that when i see blue and when you see blue we’re seeing the same color? anything can be questioned but in your case the question defies cold logic…
My husband is the youngest and there was therefore a mezinka dance at my wedding – basically, i sat near my mother in law and grandmother and all the grandaughters stood in pairs with brooms and roses and they did a dance and at the end of each round – the front pair came forward and gave my mother in law the rose and a kiss…. all the daughters danced around in a circle while this was happening… it was very nice… because it was a chassidish wedding, by the mitzva dance, all the men took broomsticks and danced for my father in law when they were called up…
