Barlev, I knew someone would ask that. I forgot to add a disclaimer to my post that there are shaylos about bathing on Shabbos even if the water was heated in a halachikly muttar way. Which might be why such a thing hasn’t taken off. But there are circumstances when it can be muttar and it can even be helpful just to avoid the accidental issur of turning on the hot water faucet in the sink. During the winter I often turn on the hot water faucet for general hand washing because the cold water is very cold and the weather is freezing. I have to remember not to do this on Shabbos.
How about invent a hot water system that can be used on Shabbos. We have urns for coffee. Why not make the actual boiler work in a similar way so that you can turn on the hot water in the sink/shower to wash dishes etc.

Let’s say there are 10 boys and 15 girls in the shidduch pool, so now 33% of the girls will never get married. If one of those boys now goes and marries one of the girls there are now 9 and 14 left, so now 35% of the girls left will never get married, so anybody who gets married – no matter what their age – is making the crisis worse.
Unless of course, one of the boys goes and marries 2 of the girls. So there are now 13 girls left and 9 boys so now only 31% will never get married.
In conclusion, the only way to solve the crisis (assuming as we always do, that there are more girls than boys) is to rescind the Cherem D’Rabbeinu Gershom

sbgh613 asked a year ago “Who was Serach’s biological father?”. Does anybody here know the story with that? Why wouldn’t it be Asher as the pasuk states?
Why what?

10k NIS is fairly normal for someone that age. In terms of the age difference, it is a suggested range. I’m sure if you suggested a 46-year-old he wouldn’t say no. The lower limit of 30 is a way of showing potential shadchanim that age difference doesn’t matter. A shadchan who sees 48 might not think to suggest a 37-year-old but by saying 30-45, it gives them the hava amina. It is all a mind game to get you to suggest shiduchim.
I read somewhere (probably in the CR) in the name of R’ Yaakov Kaminetzky, that Yaakov originally only planned to marry Rachel, but then Lavan tricked him into marrying Leah. Once that was done, he was stuck. It wouldn’t be nice to Rachel not to marry her after he had agreed to. Since his keeping the Torah was only a chumra (since the Torah was not yet given), he couldn’t use his chumra if it would cause pain to Rachel.
This is a great solution to the shidduch crisis. All older girls should become mekubalot, then the boys will come to them.

Was there as big of an age gap with that generation? I get the feeling the men from that generation got married younger. They didn’t have bullet-proof mechitzas in those days so the boys and girls met each other earlier…

CE/Web Chaver is good because it will tell your chaver if u uninstall it. Thoughit could be there are ways around that. There are ways around everything if you are motivated enough. The best we can do is use these tools to act as a reminder. It is a lot easier to stop yourself from doing an issur when it takes work to do whatever it is you are doing. We need to do our hishtadlus to minimize the nisayon.
You should have both a filter and a chaver and know yourself etc as pointed out above. I would also recommend adblockplus, flashblock, and if you can handle it imglikeopera.

Sam, if I said to you “don’t tell popa_bar_abba that I made his pot fleishig” would it be Lashon Hara for me to do so? There are situations where one must “violate” such requests and this to me sounds like one of them. This is his personal Rav who has been his dating coach, etc and now he has a serious “dating shayla”. Though perhaps in this situation, because the Rav is personally involved in the shayla, he should ask a different Rav.
He should probably first try to have an open conversation with his woman (that was for goq) about what exactly she doesn’t like about his Rav. If she doesn’t agree with some of the Rav’s hashkafos then they are going to have issues going forward in marriage as I assume this guy wants to run his home based on his rebbe’s hashkafos. As has been discussed elsewhere in the CR, in general couples will follow the husband’s halachos. The guy here should explain to his potential kalla that when it comes to halacha, you can’t just pick and choose rabbanim – if you have a Rav who you have always followed, you should continue doing so unless there is a very good reason to switch such as the Rav ch”v going off the derech. If the wife isn’t going to respect her husband’s Rav’s opinion then the husband is going to have a hard time getting her to follow all the halachik of this Rav.
I don’t think “hakaras hatov” is necessarily the issue here. It sounds like the Rav has been very helpful to the couple but for whatever reason the young lady felt that he was rude or something and is uncomfortable with him. It is very possible that this was a simple misunderstanding between the girl and the Rav. Which is why the guy needs to speak to her to find out specifically what bothered her and then needs to speak to a Rav (possibly this one, possibly another) to see whether her complaints are valid.
Um… Ask your Rebbe.
