In the Red
Wow. This post by Sephardi Lady blows my mind (hat tip to Wolfish Musings). As bad as I thought dating was, I guess the fact that I started dating a bit later, and in mostly BT circles, has kept me from being subject to the degrading process of being judged based solely on my and my family's pocketbook. It alarms and frightens me that those who want to learn Torah on a full-time basis, to (I would assume) end up as those teaching Torah to others, have priorities that are so completely off the derech. Talk about a crisis.

Couldnt agree with you more on that Shani..Its really sad how messed up some ppl's priorities are..
I totally agree and it's great that you are not part of the insanity.
Thanks for the link. While the post you linked to was set up for those who learned, I should emphasize that there are plenty of judgments that are made across the board (learners or not) that are non-productive for shidduchim.
Looks like a great blog. I'll try to visit more often.

Thanks.

I'm just very glad that I'm not part of that world. It's bad enough that people are judged ny their exterior appearances, but to be denied because of their bank accounts is even worse.

That's one of the best (succint) sum-ups I've seen.
