Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: The Root Of The Shidduchim Crisis

Description

Rav Weinberger's address at the Nefesh Conference. Why is it necessary for the Bat Kol (Heavenly Voice) to come down and announce the shidduchim (system of matchmaking) if they were already pre-ordained forty days before the yitziras havlad (formation of the embryo). Why were Adam and Chavah created as one and then separated? Rav Kook's insight into the wording of the fifth Sheva Bracha. Problem with shidduchim is the shadchanim (match maker). Importance of relying on Hashem. People are having trouble getting married because they are too self centered. We must learn how to overcome our separate realities.
