I am a happy and upbeat person, yet this morning I woke up with a heavy heart and almost no will to get out of bed. You see, today marks two years since my last date. Two years. I am a smart, fun, shtark girl with lots of friends and a great job. There is no such thing as an underprivileged Jewish girl. And also, try to match up all the boys and girls you know and be a ray of sunshine for the singles who eagerly look forward to every phone call.
It feels so much better when I know that people are taking time out of their busy schedules to recognize my pain and try to help me. TLS welcomes your letters by submitting them to [email protected]. Very mean comment. Do you believe the family is just sitting back and waiting for someone to call? They are looking for a shidduch actively. However, they are getting minimal interest in this young lady.
Rav Elya Ber highlighted that we set ourselves up in this messβ¦.. Yes davening is of utmost importance but lowering the age gap is more important. To the mothers of boys that are keeping them in Israel till they are 24 and then put them in a dark freezer for a few months. Please be aware you will also feel the same pain as this letter writer when your own daughter is in Shidduchim. We all read from the last post of TLS the letter signed by all the Gedolim.
It is doable. Change can be painfulβ¦.. A Rebbi said this? Can you let us know which Rebbi? I would appreciate a deeper understanding of this so I can better relate. At this point, spreading awareness of the magnitude of the problem might be the best hishtadlus that can be done. Ignore all the soothsayers downplaying this by quoting Torah sources which are irrelevant to the Tzoras bnos Yisroel we are now facing.
Thank you again TLS. Flooding the newspapers with letters is a great idea but what really needs to happen is for people to call the roshei yeshiva and let them know what is going on and if you cant call ask your rov to call. The Roshei Yeshiva both old and young are the only ones who can do anything. Even if you do not have a daughter or sister in shidduchm today you should still do it for your neighbor or for yourself down the line. This situation will continue to spiral totally out of control unless we do something now theefoe we cant afford to wait another moment.
