girls couldn't make it, so we set a date for another. Right
before that Shabbos rolled around something came up with
another one of the girls, and we had to put it off again. But

fine girls from the excellent new Midreshet Tehillah branch
of the Neve Yerushalayim Seminary. I was confident that they
would really hit it off with my wife and kids.
