Shidduch idea

I’m just throwing this out there.

*** PLEASE CHECK OUT THE UPDATE BELOW ***

I am considering doing a ‘Breslov shidduch of the week’, or of the month, kind of post here on the blog.

I know that a lot of my readers are that rare breed of sincere Anglo-Breslovers, or ‘Anglo-Breslov’-friendly, and it struck me that maybe I could use this platform to help like-minded singles out there kind of ‘find each other’ a bit more easily than otherwise.

I have my first ‘shidduch’ to post up soon, as the test case, but I would welcome input from readers, as to how best to do this.

And if anyone has someone they’d like to post up here (without the name and picture, but with all other details) – either leave a comment and I’ll send you the email, or email me direct if you already have it.

How can we get this to work, BH?

UPDATE:

Here is the link to my ‘Comments’ page, where you can send me what you want to go up, and leave an email address:

I have no idea how to do this, tachlis, but I think the best thing is maybe to put up some very basic ‘shidduch resumes’ – and I mean very basic – with age, where you live, a paragraph about you, and literally one sentence that would sum up the essence of what you are looking for, PLUS, the details of a friend who is happy to act as a ‘go between’ (the details of the friend will stay with me, and not be publicised on the site.)

Does this sound sensible / doable?

Am I missing out something important?

Then, I guess if anyone is interested in finding out more, either for themselves or for someone they know, they can leave a comment on the bottom of that post that WON’T be published, with an email or phone number and name, and I will pass that on to each ‘shidduch person’s’ go between, to take things forward.

How does this sound?

    As of late, I’ve been terribly afraid thinking about what enslavement is planned for us by the demons above us, and I know I’ve commented this before, but it’s hard to continue onward wifh such knowledge of their plans. Almost like it’s better to be “asleep” at that point.
    And I have no idea if God’s saving us from this. Because most people don’t deserve that.
    And it’s impossible for me to just forget about it, it’s always on my mind in some way.
    What should I do?

      Simon, the thing to understand is that there is nothing new under the sun, these plans for ‘enslavement’ are nothing new, they literally try exactly the same thing every few decades, and every single time, it fails.

      Life is way too short to spend it in a state of suspended animation. The fear is a yetzer, a massive yetzer. Anything that doesn’t just become ‘fear of Hashem’ is actually a fallen fear – just a yetzer.

      God is running the world, not the Evils. And God decides exactly what happens to who, when.

      If a person is making some real teshuva, doing hitbodedut every day and connecting to God, trying to do the right thing, apologising for when that doesn’t happen (because every single person has a yetzer, and makes mistakes, and also, does ‘yucky’ stuff on purpose even, sometimes….) AND is sticking close to the real tzaddikim – they really have nothing to fear.

      Even if God decides something that looks externally ‘bad’ – ultimately it’s for our good. All this is a test of nullifying ourselves to God’s will for us.

      And doing out best to enjoy life, and to stop being ‘enslaved’ by our own personal fallen fears.

      If we’re enslaving OURSELVES by living in fear all the time, they already won.

      The first thing I want to know with ‘tzaddik nistarim’ is where they are holding on Rav Berland.

      If they are ‘pro’, then I’ll listen to them, but if they aren’t, I won’t.

      So, where does הרב אליהו אבוטבול fit into the equation, and what makes him a ‘tzaddik nistar’?

    Rivka, I am really impressed, it is a wonderful idea. But I am sure it won’t be easy for you to find yourself in the middle of this, with all the work, the effort…. Beautiful. I hope it works.
