Sheva Brachos with no kalla on the way to Uman
This Facebook post probably captures better than anything else the warped sense of priorities some people give to traveling to Uman, and that is assuming he is going with the utmost sincerity of spiritual and inspirational goals...
Or maybe it is my priorities that are warped. He is chasing kedusha, I assume, and feels he can't find it with his new kalla in eretz yisrael in his shul or yeshiva. For him maybe going to uman is more important than anything because of that.
This fellow just got married, and within the week of the wedding is already on the plane to Uman, leaving his wife behind. His fellow travel-mates held the sheva brachos for him on the plane. Can you even do sheva brachos without the kalla?
I wish them mazel and bracha!

You can't do sheva brachos without the kalla, obviously - but it doesn't surprise me that they did it anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the kallah was on the plane across the aisle?
ReplyDeleteAs it clearly says (Devarim 24:5):

lol
DeleteYou got it all wrong.
ReplyDeleteHe married the stewardess.
is his name Bibi?
Deletei actually looked into this issue a few years ago and found no source requiring the kallkah to be present (after going to a rebbishe wedding ( = wedding of son / daughter of two rebbe's) and they had to stop the "dvei hasehr" cause the kallah was in the other building across the street; we heard on the microphone in Yiddish instructions that the person benching should continue.)
ReplyDeleteof course, a chattan cannot leave his kallah for the first year, definitely not the first week.
correct. yeminites have told me that in the old country, in the frum weddings, the kalla didn't come. her father accepted the ring for her. she stayed at some apartment with a few friends until hubby came home. they hadn't met before hand either.
Deleteinteresting. thanks

ReplyDeletemaybe but it happens all the time, be it business trips or reserve duty. if she is OK with it, there shouldn't be a problem.

DeleteThat is a good point Ben, but let's face it... the guy is going to pray to a bunch of bones.
