Anouncing the Levayos in Yerushalayim
Classic cliched denial of life via the well worn and tired mechanism of “they could - we can’t” because of either 1) niskatnu hadoros which subdivides into: they were bigger, were on a higher madreigah, had purer thoughts, had mikdash nivius etc to protect them or 2) nishtaneh hatevah ie more pritzus so now we need to go to the opposite extreme etc etc etc yada yada yada
ReplyDeleteI think a more reasonable answer is that societal norms change over time and what once was considered normal courting behavior has now been relegated to the dustbin of history in our modern times
So bleib with a kasha
DeleteThe final option of all is least reasonable
Your dilemma is on target, your resolution is poor
When you get in your lifetime to the level of Earlier Generations - Get back to us, please!
So a morah with 15 kids will be making 15k more a year while parents are getting milked from all sides at a loss of 20k a year
ReplyDeleteSo thank God we live in a capitalist economically competitive society so someone’s welcome to charge less and get more kids til the market achieves equilibrium
DeleteThere are thousands of available frum women needing Parnassah . If it was so lucrative without the raise ,then there would be a glut of available cheaper playgroups . Is your wife willing to do it fir cheaper ? Why not ?
DeleteAnd how much was your/spouses raised in the last few years? Don't forget supplies/expenses all went up on the Self employed morah! A raise for an office job comes with no expenses too!
DeleteThe reason it was yomtov like no other is even though on the face it looked like pritzus it was an ais laasos, & the fact there was no opposion to such a public pirzah, that is why it was such a great yomtov. IMHO.
ReplyDeleteThere’s absolutely no historical evidence to suggest what you’re saying, rather it was common practice, that is how dating used to happen God forbid to call it a pirtzah
DeleteDitto for the fact that the good looking girls were the most desirable — all our national greats in tanach were married to beautiful women
Another thing the community tries to minimize
It’s healthy and normal — eyn ishah elah l’yofi — provided she’s has fear of heaven of course
IMHO
Recall the girls who attended all went prior to the mikvah
DeleteImplication: girls who were unable to go wouldn't attend
And: it was permitted and common only if and on the collective occasion when girls would (be able to) go
Bitul Melacha is an honor given to a Gadol Hador, a great Talmid Chacham, or a public tragedy.
ReplyDeleteWhy should there be a bitul Melacha for this levaya? Of course, who would miss it? But that is their decision.
Anyway, who announced this Bitul Melacha? What Melacha?
Don’t worry too much about it, there ain’t much melacha to be mevatel
DeleteThis is an extreme shtark questions
DeleteThere goes the mora always thinking everyone else has it better than her. No office jobs don’t go up 15k in one year and that’s not true that office jobs come with no added expenses. You don’t know what you’re talking about. And btw ladies in office jobs usually don’t have programs and that is A LOT of money.
ReplyDeleteSupply and demand dictates that if it was lucrative to do it for cheaper ,then there would be a glut of cheaper morohs
