“Do you think that, if true, the boy had a right to say yes to two girls at the same time and see which one said yes first?”

Only two? Why not 5? Why even bother w the list, when he can date them all at once?

I have an idea lets negate all self respect that Girls have, because running after men is not enough, inflate the already over-inflated egos of at best average Boys, and turn them in to pimps. Fantastic.

If you are not taking a week then you should be able to expect a quick response. I think the “rule” should be however long you spent checking, you should anticipate the other side taking that long.

“i also have seen first hand of innocent ybc/mbc boys becoming totally less frum”

Can you prove this is from them being a child singer?

I’d like a handsome Frum guy, period. 😉

If he happens to be a singer, so be it.

I think everyone deserves a week.

Retraction, are you no longer interested because they are doing an extra-special digging? Just move on to the next one.

“When i go to weddings and i see the very outgoing and sociable young, handsome, frum singer, i always wonder how secure this wife must feel in her marriage, being fine with her husband staying out late every night.. entertaining those crowds of very enthusiastic and beautifully dressed women..”

“i think it would be a challenge for a singer to resist being sucked into the gayvah and other negative middos..”

Really?! You cannot be serious.

First of all we are talking about FRUM singers. Now you dont have to lecture me about being naive as to what (unfortunately) goes on in the Jewish world because I am (again, unfortunately) well aware. But, we ARE talking about FRUM singers. There are no roadies, no groupies and no mosh pits. There are no woman throwing their (uhem) personal belongings at the Singer while they are singing.

Secondly, I have been to a wide range of wedding Modern to Ultra Yeshivish and never have I seen woman gawking at the Singer, in fact, more often then not the Singer focuses his attention at the Men’s side of the mechitza.

Lastly,

“sociable young, handsome, frum singer”

Do tell who this fellow is, would love to meet him. He dont exist.

Thats insane! (in a good way 🙂

Are you me?!

I’m about to be in the same situation….

Here’s what I am going to do, if guy #1 doesnt get back to you by the time guy #2 comes along you politely apologize and say that you didnt know where he stood so you’ve said “yes” to someone else in the meantime. Dont feel bad, guys do it all the time 😉

Na. Just busy.

“The one takonoh I would like to see enforced is a maximum # of people invited (say 300)”

I think (in my limited understanding) that thats where they went wrong. They said that a Rebbi can invite more than the allotted (200 per side?) because he knows more people.

What of someone who comes from a family of 10, is the youngest, whose parent is 1 of 8? Do you know how big these weddings are just from immediate family alone?

What of someone who has a special needs child that feels tremendous gratitude to the community and invites EVERYONE they know to the siblings wedding as a way of showing Hakaras HaTov for all theyve done for the special needs sibling?

What of someone who is an only child and this is the ONLY wedding the parents are going to make so they go all out?

I have been to all these weddings. Once you limit something like guests you lose most of the audience.

I’m great at spending money!

I dont think its a Tznius issue… its a Derech Eretz issue.

I would NEVER ask a Rebbi to park my car!

A point of clarification, was he coming out of his car? Maybe he doesnt drive…

“I think the more modern people are, the more open they are to close friendships with people not exactly like themselves that they meet in a variety of places (theres no what will people think factor).”

If you are the type of person who cant befriend someone who isnt exactly the “same” as you that is your loss, that isnt a religious problem or an Ultra-Orthodox problem, its a personal one.

Yes, the Mishna says stay away from bad neighbors and friends, but someone who is of a different Hashkafic Derech isnt bad, you must realize that differentiation.

I dont know them, Its section 8 housing by a Jewish organization.

I dont think its more about being told how much you are loved and being showed vs just knowing it.

It is what you make it. If its important to you, you’ll make the time for it. My father works over 12 hours a day, yet still Davens 3x a day w a Minyan.

Of course I’m not sure I am the best one to judge, I can barely sit through Yomim Noraim 😉

Are you kidding me? Thats not bad at all.

If a Shadchan were to ask me what I am looking for, I would probably leave that off my list, but I mean it in the purist definition of the word.

My family, I love them to death, but they are emotion midgets. I need someone who is affectionate, I’m not embarrassed to say it.

“Sacrilege, have you spoken to the owner that you know his intention was getting non-kosher families to start keeping kosher and not to just turn a dollar? Do you even honestly see subway as the thing standing between a reasonably average person and kosher eating?”

You dont need to run circles around yourself. I didnt say anywhere that I think all these things should be used in Kiruv, BUT if they happen to make ONE person’s decision easier in becoming Kosher, they will have served their purpose.

“The most despicable thing I ever heard of. Why do we have to act like goyim, eat like goyim???”

I dont find it despicable at all I find it lovely.

Same as Baco-Bits, Veggie burgers w cheese, Pesachdik bread and pasta, and Pomegranate.

If these items will make a SINGLE person switch over to becoming Kosher they will have served their purpose.

Besides, this is 2011 in America if you want to serve your family crust bread and chicken broth thats for you to decide, but dont throw your false “holier than thou” attitude on anyone else.

There are a million other things that Klal Yisroel as a whole can work on before worrying about turkey on club.

AOM

LOL!!

It depends what you make.

Certain things even though they are small can still be done relatively fast, the problem is I usually run out of space in the oven so thats the most challenging part, waiting for the first shift to be done so I can get the second third and forth shifts in.

The good news is that it usually makes a lot 🙂

Who’s ready for the list? 😉

Someone who is:

-taller than me!

-a Mentsch

-n’t selfish/self centered (very important to me)

-family oriented, but Independent(Mama’s Boys need not apply 😉

-affectionate

-a people person, and has a nice group of friends

-outgoing, well-spoken and has a good sense of humor!

-educated

-thought out and has short term and long term goals

-proud to be Jewish and Frum and wants their home to feel that excitement and pride

-sincere about his frumkeit, learns everyday and davens 3x a day w a minyan.
