??? is not now. Now in yiddish is ???? It means only. ‘listen only’ It doesn’t translate smoothly.
“But as a community, it shows that the community has excess that can be spent on luxury items”
Nah, it shows that there is an extremely wealthy family in need of a hobby.
I went in to see the place one time when I was in town. I was wowed.
??? ???
as in listen up (may I have your attention)
I hope someone can give you advice on this.
My sister had gall stones and the doctor said the only thing to do is surgery. Then she heard of a woman in Williamsburg who can help, who advised her to eat only green apples for a day and drink only apple cider. Before bed she was to drink a concoction of olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice. (don’t know exact recipe.) Also, she was supposed to get a good nights sleep and wake up naturally in the morning. (no alarm clock or crying baby)
The next morning the gall stones cleared her body.
No more gallstones. No more pain. She didn’t even go back to the doctor!
True story. Happened last week.
There probably is another way. I hope you find it.
“ALL the yeshivos, AT ONCE, must close thier doors, from teh most right wing, to the most left wing, fromt eh frummest, to the most modern, ALL. a letter will go out to all parents, telling them which public school in their area they should go to for the first day of school. ALL parents must take off from work, and go with their children to the local public school. we are talking here of way over a hundred thousand of children on an already stressed system. i would say an emergency meeting in the city council, and state legislature would pass through vouchers in minutes, if not seconds”
This is a fantastic idea. Why aren’t we implementing it???
Time for truth: Right. NOT recommended.
“in the end she divorced her husband, the chavrusa divorced his wife and they married each other”
In the spirit of Rebbe Levi Yitzchok M’Barditchiv: ?? ???? ?????
these people actually went to the trouble of divorcing and marrying each other and didn’t indulge their ???? like the goyim.
“Easiest way to fix the shidduch crisis would be for girls to stop going to seminary.”
If you’ll notice, it is the same crowd who thinks they have to go into debt so their daughters can spend a year in seminary in Israel, who are ensnared in the shidduch crisis. (although, I don’t see the connection between the two.)

For several years, we delivered shalach manos first thing in the morning -homemade granola and rice dream (milk). It became the Purim breakfast of our friends and family…
It is never a good idea for someone who is starting out, to open there own business, besides for the fact that it costs a lot of money, you can lose a lot of money by making mistakes.
First you need to get a job and work for someone. After you worked for someone for a while and learn the trade, you can go out on your own.
As for what field to enter, there are tests you can take to help you narrow down your choice.
Also, and this is great advice if you are lucky enough to be in a position to use it. Do something you enjoy doing and you’ll never work a day in your life.
DY:”That depends what you think the problem is.”
This is getting ridiculous. We are on page 4 of this thread and we are unaware of what problem we are discussing?
The problem is the ‘shidduch crisis’ which I would define as a hardship for the girls in a certain community to find a shidduch, with many girls becoming older than they would like to without finding their bashert.
There is more than just one thing contributing to the problem. Girls being squeezed for money is one contributing factor.
DY: It is certainly part of the problem.
Apushitayid “all bills are paid by tatty”
The irony! Isn’t that exactly the problem with the shidduch crisis? That unless the Tatty is willing (able) to pay the bills the daughter can’t find a shidduch??? The kest system has been abolished in the chassidishe world. The tatties are not being manipulated into paying the bills on pain of staying with a grey haired daughter at home.
“2 young chassidishe couples i know are hardly proof of anything”
I know loads and loads of chassidish couples. The Tattys aren’t all supporting the couples, and yes many of the Mommies cook the meals in the beginning.
How is it better for girls to stay stranded without having an opportunity to find a shidduch, rather than a young couple 19-20 years old getting some support in the beginning whether monetary or meals or both.
Is marriage just a new roommate if you aren’t cooking a meal every day?
“Perhaps the extra girls on shidduch island should marry chassidim.”
Chassidishe boys are mostly looking to marry chassidishe girls. There are some shidduchim of Chassidishe boys with litvish girls, however, the boys aren’t usually your average chassidishe boy if they are marrying a litvish girl.
Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because litvish girls probably aren’t looking for your average chassidishe boy.
You can tell a 19 year old litvish boy he is getting married in half a year and expect him to mature. Litvish boys are made up of different DNA from other boys? In the IDF you have 19 year olds making life and death decisions. In the chassidish world many are heads of household.
Health: In that case, boys should give pictures too. Why should women/girls waste their time?
DY: No gap needed.
At what cost you ask. Maybe at a cost of less heartache for all the young people, their parents, and family who are stranded in the shidduch crisis.
It is true that the boys are less mature when they get married later. I know young men who are unbelievably immature at a time when other young men are already husbands and fathers. If the expectations change, the people will change with them.
zahavasdad:The Rebbe in the video is saying to his brider in America, ir zult hiten Shabbos vet eich git zein.
DaasYochid: Do boys also have resumes? Or just the girls need them? I think it’s demeaning.
Shmoneh Esra L’chupa – mostly within a year or two to the chupa. When you become smarter than the Torah, you run into problems.
What do the dog owners do on Shabbos? Aren’t the dogs muktza?
In my neck of the woods there are no shidduch resumes. and there is no shidduch crisis. Maybe the resume and shidduch crisis crowd need to look outside of their daled amos and see how things are done in other communities and copy what works.

Ask the Bar Mitzvah boy what he wants, within a price range, this way you know your gift will be appropriate and appreciated. BTW I do this when buying a baby gift as well.

I am intrigued with an idea of being able to fax a person. It can be the size of a broom closet, you go inside, hit some buttons and get faxed over to the other side of the world.
emails, sounded just as far fetched not so long ago.
I would love if someone would come out with a baby bottle that has a child proof top. So toddlers can’t open and spill their bottle.
People don’t marry pictures. Eventually you meet the person, and can decide based on the person, as apposed to basing marriage on a picture. If the person and photo look completely different, you at least know you are dealing with a person who “doctors the truth” and proceed with caution.
