I'm back

I'm back, now that I've finished overworking myself for the past 8 weeks or so.

I just read a book with one plotline about the Israeli chareidi problem of having to buy apartments in order to marry off the girls, so seeing SephardiLady's post about the chareidi shidduch crisis was pretty funny. It's also so sad that the solution in both cases is to get other people's money involved. Not, heaven forbid, to not commit to buying an apartment, or gasp! not expect to marry only kollel boys. Or to learn the skills to support yourself. Sigh.
