Shidduch Advice From Pop

The Sukkos after I got Smicha Pop and Ima gave me a gift and took me to Eretz Yisroel for Sukkos. It was an amazing and unforgettable trip. I would love to write about how pop helped Shaya Rubinstien with his written test for the army that was all about Israeli history and pop didn’t even need the book.

But instead I want to write about some amazing advice that pop gave me.

We were sitting in the pool at the Dan panorama hotel in Tel Aviv. Pop asked me “so Adi now that you have Smicha are you ready to get married”? I said “yes, but don’t worry I know exactly

what I want. I explained that I have a top 10 list and if a girl gets 6 out of 10 that she is the one.”

Tot started to laugh and with his very straight forward attitude he said “what the hell do you know about women?” you grew up in a house with mostly boys and lived in all boy dormitories your whole life.

He explained your job is to Daven to Hashem and have faith that he will send you the best possible women even better that your list. He said when I got to court I don’t need tolook at the history of the whiteness all I do is look at him and make him look like a fool. Just have the bitochen and it will be better than you could have imagined.

So now that I am about to celebrate my 7^th wedding anniversary I can clearly say
“why didn’t I just stick to my list?”
jj he was absolutely right Hashem sent me better than I could have imagined
