    I need a soul with whom to talk

    I know ur out there

    I want a soul with whom to walk

    I know ur out there

    Ill raise u when ur down

    Wipe away all ur frowns

    You know ill always be near

    To wash away ur tears

    I want to care for you day and night

    Always peaceful never a fight

    Become one soul like the will of the creater

    I hope it’ll be sooner that later

    Hashem please hear my cries

    For in it ur will lies

    For me to be totaly complete

    No more half a soul incomplete

    When will it be I truly don’t know

    So for now I’m on the go

    Moving along with a prayer in my heart

    Waiting for a fresh new start

    I know u know what’s best for me

    Its for the good even if it is hard to see

    Ill hold strong waiting for the day

    When ill feel whole and sing and say:

    Thank you Hashem for sending ill say with glee

    A wonderful partner who’s meant for me

    Together well grow and learn ur ways

    And accomplish our mission in life, this maze

    Thank you all for taking the time

    To go ahead and read my rhyme

    I feel better already before I even hit “send post”

    Encouragement is what matters most

    May all ur worries turn to gold

    And may U never fit “the mold”

    Ur unique in every which way

    And Hashem has given u another day

    May we all be Gebenched! Amen

    If a girl really insists that she doesn’t want to get married I wouldn’t push her. There may be a real reason why she feels she can’t be married and she may be right. It should be explored. In the frum world there are things considered taboo but are reality none the less although not so clear to oneself due to our lifestyle. I know a girl that got married and wasn’t capable of it. Guess what happened?

    I like to mention a vort I live by and I hope it’ll be uplifting for us.

    When Moshe Rabeinu was told by Hashem to take Klal yisroel out of mitzraim He said “Hashem I don’t know if I’m capable of doing this great task” and Hashem told him “you want to know the biggest proof that are indeed capable of this great task? Because I sent you, and I never give someone more than they can handle.

    Sometimes we feel we’ve been dealt a realy tough blow, or we have too much on our shoulders and we feel like ” I can’t handle this!” Well understand that although it may be tougher and greater than anything that’s has come our way until this point, the understanding that Hashem who created you and I and who gave you this challenge feels that you are indeed capable of overcoming, and handling this challenge should empower you and make you feel ” If I got it, I can handle it!”

    I’ve been through hard times not by choice and this has aleways helped me. I hope it will help you too.

    Also, a good excersize is to tell yourself verbaly over and over ” I can do this, I can do this” you’ll see you will start beleiving yourself.

    Wishing you all and empowered Shabbos!

    See Rashi on the pasuk “uvichukosayhen lo seleichu” I never inquired as to the halacha regarding this but he clearly says the torah is saying “do not go to their stadiums” it would seem that all sports stadiums are included in this issur.

    Think about it, a father is on “the other team” so him telling a daughter “that’s not tznius” won’t be effective. A mother telling it to a daughter will be much more effective since she has the same sensitivity towards “appearance” and “dress”. Yes it is his responsibility to make sure the women of his household adhere to tznius standards but a mother is the one to acctually implement it to her daughters.

    Well there’s this guy who goes out with my sister and they both realized after a few dates that they weren’t the same type. However at the end of the date he was inquiring about a lot of things that one would only do if he’s interested. Although she thought it strange she was polite and discussed with him the topic he brought up. Anyhow this fellow calls his friend (my brother inlaw today) and says I have a girl for you. Well you see here how every date gets us closer to our bashert although it may not be so clear as thois story. May we all find our basherts with ease. Amen.

    Check out the book “the easy way to stop smoking” (Allen Carr) and you’ll be informed that smoking is one thing only. A drug addiction. Nicotine is a drug and is more addictive than marijuana. After the first ciggarette ur body want more. It never “craved one before u started” and that’s the biggest proof there’s no inherent fain in smoking. Calms u down? Did it calm u down before u started? No, but now when ur stressed out and at the same time nicotine is slowly leaving ur body, so ur doubly stressed and u have a smoke, takes away the need for nicotine but ur still left with whatever stree u had before. Great book for anyone trying to stop. Its compare to putting on a really tight shoe and saying wow it feels great when I take it off and u put back on so u can remove it to feel good, crazy hhuh? Well same with cigarettes. You smoke when ur body craves it to get rid of the need which u created for urself.

    Just like Hashem created you to be photogenic he also created ur mate. I’m in a similar situation and I know that no matter how old I am and no matter what people think about me doing my part, I am and I will find my bashert as soon as its meant to be. So will you. people tend to worry and start creating reasons why one hasn’t found their match. There’s a God and he has a plan for you, they don’t know when nor do you so they try to “make it happen” with their suggestions not realizing it’ll happen just when its supposed to. As far as shaddchanim, do you not want to go to them or what?

    I feel terrible about your plight. You must call Shalom task force. I know ur afraid of changing ur current situation like you mentioned “I have nowhere to go” if needed they will work things out for you. They’re purpose is not to seperate the family and create divorce their mission is helping women who are living through hell like you are. They will guide you step by step. I can hear the pain in your words and I promise you, you have only to gain for yourself, yes ur husband and ur dear children by calling them. Please make the call and let us know that u did. Ur life CAN and WILL get better if you do.

    The shadchan should be told why and it helps for her to redd u something more on target next time. However I feel that a date doesn’t need to know the real reason why if it will hurt them, unless its something pareve. For instance if you just feel that ur personalities don’t go well enough that’s fine to say but if you feel that this person isn’t good looking enough for u why say it and make the person feel bad when beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

    Appreciation

    Can make all the difference

    Between marriage and divorce

    Appreciation

    Can be the key to make relationships

    Better than worse

    Appreciation

    Can be the chord that’ll hold one together in hard times

    So go and appreciate people for their friendship, work and rhymes

    appreciation

    Can lift ones esteem

    Yeh even adults not just teens

    It can change the entire scene

    From very bleak to totaly serene

    Appreciation

    Is paramount to ones life

    With it one can weather the harshest strife

    No matter how bitter the pill may taste

    You won’t feel ur life is a waste

    Appreciation

    To a person is like gas to a car

    Without it its hard to move with it you’ll go far

    I think its because one wants to feel accomplishment

    And it touches their heart when they get a compliment

    It propells us further puts bounce in our step

    Makes you feel light and nothing is a shlep

    So make sure to show appreciation to everyone in ur world

    Family friend and all of us on yeshiva world.

    A special appreciation to middlepath in the name of all of us

    Middlepaths kinds word has encouraged us through many a fuss

    I appreciate that my boss doesn’t show appreciation

    It helped me create this entire composition.

    Show appreciation my friends, you’ll be a happier person.

    Silent one— I’m sorry you went through pain like that, I understand because I too have “lived through” a failed marriage.

    Not only is hakaras hatov important, I feel its from the most important traits one can have for a happy and successful marriage.

    Its all about being appreciated, where there appreciation things can be tough financially or otherwise and the marriage will continue to blossom, where there’s no appreciation people feel lonely and forgotton.

    Now for seeing it in ur date,of course everyone is polite on dates however there’s a drastic difference between genuine and fake appreciation. Genuine appreciation won’t be a quick thank you for whatever you did that deserves appreciation, rather it will be lavish with words of appreciation. Cold thank you can be fake but if someones “thank you for……. I really appreciate it that’s genuine, and watch for the facial expression while saying it is there a smile? Its real. Also does the person feel comfortable saying showing appreciation or does it seem forced?

    Hum…..let me think….

    Wake up, school- learning basics

    job, training skills

    Carpool- doing chores

    Appointments-responsibilities

    Ear infection for little Moishe oh boy!

    Being a parent

    But when do we think?

    making supper

    To nourish the kids

    completing a report

    To pay for the food

    But when do we think?

    Giving advice

    Helping a friend

    Listen ear

    To soothe a a child

    Proffesional opinion

    To make some profit

    But when do we think?

    Cousins engaged

    Lchaim

    Few weeks later

    Wedding

    Getting ready pish posh

    But when do we think?

    Chanuka party

    All had fun

    Happy excited

    Its in the air

    But when do we think?

    Give me a few years till

    Things settle down a little

    Then I can sort things out in my brain

    I don’t want to live in vain

    Listen my friend nows the time

    Its important not just my rhyme

    To put thought into who u are and why

    Don’t let even one day “pass you by”

    Remember We’re here for a little stay

    And then in a moment we go away

    No more carpool job or school

    No more yeshiva or going to shul

    There’s a great purpose for each and every one

    Think- where did I come from?

    Why am I here and what should I do

    Why am I different living as a Jew

    What’s my mission no doubt there must be one

    I was handcrafted by the Holy One

    Not mistake not extra just right

    There’s a purpose in every moment of my life

    So when do we think?

    All the time!

    Whether ur doing a good deed

    Or enjoying some lemon lime

    You don’t even have to make a date

    Just look around and appreciate

    The great wonders of the world

    No not talking about the malls

    The trees the flowers the outdoors

    Unimaginable wisdom

    The human body and how it works

    Will boggle ur mind if given some thought

    So think all day while every thing you do

    What am I doing why and for who?

    What’s my goal, starting now and here

    If I don’t know where I’m going

    How will I know when I get there?

    Think, it’ll give you insight

    About urself

    About ur life

    You’ll feel empowered

    In control

    Never in a lull

    There’s always pupose direction too

    When ur a thinking Jew.

Since the rambam there has been something called “shulchan aruch” and the rambam himself is not happy with you if you follow his view when the shulchan aruch says we Dont pasken like rambam. You have a little thinking to do about the way u pasken.

    Marriage

    devotion

    Divorce

    Work out emotions

    Feeling on high

    Then a low

    At times gloomy

    Next, aglow

    why’d it have to be

    I really don’t know

    But from here

    There only one way ill go

    Ill pick myself up high

    Ill do my best

    Put fun back into life

    Come on, a little zest

    Yeh we don’t choose what happens

    We all know that’s true

    But after all goes down

    its really up to you

    Blaming, mad ,upset

    Or u can accept

    This is the will of the Holy One

    stronger u can become

    Gather ur strength

    Put ur mind at ease

    Look forward

    At ur life ahead

    It could have been worse

    A child born

    Connected forever

    You’d be worn

    Look at the bright side

    You’ll aprreciate the next

    So go on, on high

    Ur very blessed

    There’s nothing inherently wrong with wearing jeans. Its not appropriate for some occasions just as slippers aren’t always the reccomended dress code.

    Its can say something about the person wearing them. Let me portray. An electrician wearing jeans isn’t the same thing as a 18 kid in high school wearing jeans. The electrician is wearing the “rugged pants with pockets for his tools that’s actually makes work easier than other pants” whereas the Hs kid is trying to say “hey I’m different than where I come from” (talking about a yeshiva Hs kid) and I’m letting u all know. Its a status that he’s taking on and yes it does not come along with shteiging away and shmiras einayim.

    There are definately exceptions to this rule and, older people wearing jeans isn’t making a statement like a teenager and young 20’s guy.

    Its all about assosiation. Who do u assosiate urself with.
