53: Hashkafa Matters 

Yona & Chani join Avery to have a sophisticated and nuanced discussion over the many differences and similarities those of us in shidduchim share when it comes to our hashkafos. 
We tackle the concept of dating someone based in various stereotypes such as wearing a black hat, davening in Young Israel's and preferring a TV in your home. 

1) Defining religious orientation
2) Black hat
3) Zionistic
4) TV and TV in the house
5) Sending your kids to white shirt or co ed yeshiva
6) What community do we want to live in
7) Is how you observe Shabbos a hashkafic difference? ie how you want to run a Shabbos table, going swimming, wife holds of the eruv
8) How much do we listen to the families rov?
9) Do we put a filter on the house internet? Kids phones. Etc.
10) Making aliyah
11) Learning

EP 52: Don't Ask Me If I'm Shomer [Part 3: The Rabbi Strikes Back]

Navigating the relationship w/shomer in mind. Halachic & Rabbinic perspectives of being shomer negiah.

In part 3 of shomer we wrap it up with Rabbi AY’s encounters as a Rabbi & halachic perspective. We also discussed some new aspects of Shomer Negiah, which we did not touch up on in Part 1 and 2. Torah perspectives, community outlines and IJ’s favorite…is breaking shomer the same as kosher and Shabbos?


1. Tznius affects on Shomer Negiah
2. Why are the shidduch dating guys always blamed??
3. Is there a way to really tell if someone is shomer?
4. Kosher & Shabbos is very diffrent than Shomer
5. Past relationships that you weren’t shomer in: to tell or not to tell!
6. How can you feel intimately connected in a shomer relationship
7. What are ways to bring up gedarim/boundaries without offending the other side
8. Does being shomer fall under the category of tznius
9. Can you judge someone for their past experiences shomer or not?
10. What does the Torah want from a young healthy couple, is it closeness to each other (which comes from Intimacy) or closeness to G-d?
11. It’s not that the Torah doesn’t work, it’s the community that doesn’t work
12. Better for gals to break it whether they are frum or modern?

In this week's episode we bring in Paige, a long time dater and resident expert on shomer negiah for the female daters perspective. Having been in her own long term relationships before, we appreciated hearing why she is complexly pro staying shomer until marriage. Some girls call in as well to weigh in on the issues. We also discussed some new aspects of Shomer Negiah, which we did not touch up on in Part 1. Such as; is it worse to be the person who initially breaks or the person who elevates? Does being with someone before you are married give you insight in to any potential compatibility issues in the future? Who can you go to to discuss the difficulties you are having staying shomer in your relationships? As well, as many other enumerating subjects

Ep 48: What happened to all of the “good guys” PART 1

Are we setting up our boys to fail?? Where are all the “Good Guys” at??

NTS crew discusses with Mrs. Rissel Naimark about the perplexities of girls and “the community” thinking that there are no more good guys/men/boys. IJ and Avery defend the boys!!

It seems that there’s this expectancy for the men in Shidduchim to be able to have a set career, solid twice a day learning Seder as well as being a 3 x a day minyan goer. Is this just conjecture from anecdotal “sources” or is this a real thing that is setting the men and thus women back from finding their Basherts to be with?

1) Guys are amazing and here’s why...
2) Is it just that girls standards are too high
3) Is it fair for the women to judge this?
4) Is it a reason for women to say no or should they work with GUY POTENTIAL.
5) Women want a tangible way of measuring how frum a guy is, plain and simple.
6) Why single men don’t have a steady minyan schedule
7) How our grandparents did it (1 minyan and Mentch’s)
8) Dual household responsibility. Differences of growing up with 2 working parents vs 1.
9) Reverse case: men being very strict with women and tznius
10) Our community pushing men into learning, for as long as they can even without a plan
