Shlossel Challah in Kerestir
That fits in great , Yidden dumb enough to spend a random Shabbos in Karstir, to make shlidsel challa, 2 made up customs
ReplyDeleteHow is the new wedding halls much cheaper than Bais Faiga or Ateres Reva. Those halls are not subsidized and cost only an additional 1500 per side with no limitations, this is not where the expenses are today.
ReplyDeleteWe need to bring down costs on shaitels and gowns and make up party planners for vortd and other wasteful spending because of social pressure.
These halls are just the beginning
DeleteAnd expensive suits and ties and shoes
DeleteAteres Reva is $18,500 for 350 people
DeleteDoesn't Bais Faiga have restrictions?
Delete13000 also includes the music, singer, photographer, videographer,flowers.
DeleteSeminary anybody- can make 2 wedding for 1 yr of Seminary
ReplyDeleteEven the Lakewood seminaries are over 20K !! What can be done to change this?
DeleteSome one needs to be brain dead to spend a random Shabbos in the cemetery of Yiddishe blood soaked Hungary
ReplyDeleteWhat's stopping the halls from getting booked up in advance by those who have long engagements or out of towners
ReplyDeleteThey should have the same policy as the schron hall in Brooklyn that you can’t book it more than three and a half months in advance.
DeleteWhy can’t all halls have the policy of ending 1130 and running on a strict timetable? These delays add up and cause annoyance to guests.
The boys side is expected now to buy a car for 15-20k the expenses keep on coming from other places
ReplyDeleteIm opening a seminary "Ateres Adeena". We will have a full year seminary, with meals every Shabbos, room board and everything for $12,000 tuition includes everything. I already have a great location in Ramat Eshkol, and amazing teachers. For more info you can email AteresAdeena@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe new takana halls will wreak havoc on Oak street with gridlock traffic
ReplyDeleteThe halls will knock out bais faiga and Ateres Reva fix one problem and create another
Nothing wrong with the old Bais Faiga hall if they would just listen to people and put in NEW bathrooms! The men's is always stuffed up with water overflowing and toilet paper flying everywhere
ReplyDeleteMost halls including Bais Faiga could also invest in mics that actually work for the Chupah
ReplyDeleteBnos devorah halll is supposed to shut down once the wedding halls open
ReplyDeleteWill that happen as there are bar mitzvas booked up
traffic will be a standstill on Oak street
People won't make it to the weddings of there's no shuttle bus system to all the halls from nearby parking lots
