Drash v'DaSh: A Shabbat Message and Greeting
“A Core in a Score: A Match Made in Matrimony”
Three weeks ago, we reported on a woman who, abandoned by
her fiancé a few days before their wedding, held a dressdestroying party for her family and friends. For a happier story,
consider the case of Briggs Fussy and Brittney Husbyn who, as
three-year-olds, were paired up by Briggs’s godmother to walk
down the aisle together at her wedding, as ring-bearer and flower
girl respectively. Twenty years later, Briggs and Brittney again
walked down the aisle together at another wedding … their own.
While even those critical of certain trends in the “yeshiva world” to
get engaged after only a few dates would probably agree that a
twenty-year “time to get to know one another” may be excessive,
in reality, preparation for marriage – in the sense of developing
the skills and sensitivity for living as partners – is not something
that can commence only when one “enters shidduchim”, i.e.
begins dating. When a misheberakh is made for a yoledet – a
woman who has just given birth – and her newborn baby, already
then do we announce our communal ambition and anticipation
that the child be raised le-Torah, le-Chuppa, u-le-Maasim Tovim.
A Midrash - cited at the beginning of Tractate Sota - famously
compares the challenge involved in zivugin (matchmaking) to the
splitting of the Sea recounted in our Parasha. While many
explanations for this equation have been offered, it is important to
observe that traversing the sea was the culmination of a process
that had begun decades, maybe even centuries earlier. Long-term
commitment complemented by a culture of cultivation enabled the
Israelites to ascend to safety at this juncture.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Lawrence Teitelman
