Meaningless for this crowd? Too serious?<BR/>Therefore, I had decided that I wanted to ditch that direction in my writing, and that's why this was so late.<BR/>But then, just today, I was asked to write about marriage.<BR/>Coincidental? Ironic? Whatever... <BR/><BR/>In any case, I was asked by a very close friend of mine, "Do you think I'm ready to get married?"<BR/>I never had before considered myself as sagacious enough to give haskama on the readiness of a marriage canidate, so I had to think and dig into my brain files about what I've learnt regarding such a question.<BR/><BR/>The answer that came to mind, and what I said to my friend went something like this:<BR/><BR/>Is anyone ever ready to get married? Do we wake up one morning and say "Wow, today's the day I feel i'm ready and mature enough to make a commitment for the rest of enernity!"?!?<BR/><BR/>Most likely not. If you look at marriage objectively, and put aside the passion and fringe benefits, you might question as to why anyone would possibly want to get married... You have to give so much of your time, energy, love, toil, and talent to someone else.<BR/>This though, is one of the keys to understanding if you're ready for such an eternal commitment.<BR/><BR/>If you are ready to give of yourself, your strenghths, and your very essence to another person, unselfishly and with true care and concern for that individual, then it's time to call the shadchan ;)<BR/><BR/>Then again, how many of us (even married ones of us) can honestly say that we can, or have, reached that stage?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, just putting someone else's needs and desires on par with our own, is a big enough sign to know we are ready. And if we can't, then it's time to work on our good ol' Ahavas Yisroel.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to finish the marriage info. with a joke that will undoubtedly have you rolling your eyes, but all the same, here goes:<BR/><BR/>What's black and white and red all over?<BR/><BR/>A bochur on a first date.<BR/> ************************<BR/><BR/>The Mud Hole Moshul and question list will be coming soon enough, just thought I'd at least type up something quick to start with.Farbrengenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657438002121076990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956851062928470828.post-51648841209427504022009-01-13T19:16:00.000-06:002009-01-13T19:16:00.000-06:00TRS: like you eat chummus maybe.

Chummus is backup food for me if I get snowed in or if there is ever a nuclear attack.<BR/><BR/>Modeh: I was under the impression that anyone spending eight years of their life learning smicha at YU would make sure to also walk out with a law degree or masters in English literature from Columbia. Maybe that's my wrong impression from reading too many rabbis' bios.Nemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402531988433648505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956851062928470828.post-44880958705386644312009-01-13T18:11:00.000-06:002009-01-13T18:11:00.000-06:00Re: staying an am haaretz-shouldn't be too hard, e...Re: staying an am haaretz-shouldn't be too hard, even if you're in kollel in lakewood for twenty years. <BR/><BR/>Re: kutach: they used to eat it like we eat chummus.

I treasure my am ha'artzus and want to keep it intact as much as possible while still becoming a talmid chacham. :) And the yadun yadun isn't the normal track but if I was in YU I would be seen as an ideal candidate by everyone but myself.<BR/><BR/>Nemo: Not that I know of. Maybe you're thinking of the conservatives. They list their smichas as DD -- Doctor of Divinity -- so that they can get the full secular benefits. Most orthodox yeshivas will issue an English ksav horaah if necessary but JTS actually brags about it.<BR/><BR/>Kutach: The source of all the miraculous refuos in shas.
