Opinion The Liberating Bride: The Truth Behind Our Obsession with Moran Ben Assolin | Israel today

2022-09-15T23:51:58.560Z


The wedding in which Omer Adam participated this week raised a serious issue - pouring money on family events • Even though each family spends a disproportionate percentage on those events in relation to household income, young couples still insist on spending the large amount on that one-time evening • And - the mistake that led Ayelet Shaked to stay alone in the political game


The most popular personality this week, without distinction between right, left, Arabs and Jews, was the dashing bride.

Moran Ben Assolin (I wonder if by next week we will remember the name) made the average Israeli click more than three million times on screens where they see her half shouting and half dancing.

Well, half naked too.

Our obsession, the Israelis, with the free performance, does not stem from Omar Adam's slavishness and his indifference towards an employer who demands what she deserves, nor from the exchange of roles - an aggressive woman versus a helpless man.

The window to the extravagant event is flooded by a local issue that has no equal in other cultures: pouring money on family events.

The video of the bride Moriah Ben Assulin touched on a sensitive issue - the expense of the wedding event,

The lack of correlation between the cost of living in the Emir and the skyrocketing divorce rates has not changed anything in the culture of Israeli weddings, and this is true for couples getting married in Bnei Brak, Umm al-Fahm, Gush Etzion and Herzliya Pituach.

In every family, a disproportionate percentage of the household's income is spent on weddings.

A hundred thousand shekels that would have been spent on a wedding ten years ago or even five years ago, is not a hundred thousand shekels that is spent today, the events have long since stopped covering themselves, and certainly do not bring in an amount that can help with an apartment... and still young couples - mostly young brides, In the Mhilah - they insist on spending this amount on a one-time evening, and those in the know know that one hundred thousand shekels for a wedding is one of the modest amounts.

To celebrate a marriage, you don't need all the ancillary products that have become law - waiters, an orchestra, hall design, a set of photographers and everything you have in the Excel table.

Deep down you know that a lunch in the park and an agreement with a rabbi or a lawyer will do the trick. So why commit financial suicide? It could be, and I say this as a girl, that it is precisely the waves of breakups that cause these material attempts to anchor the marriage covenant in something tangible. Maybe a voice An insider tells young couples that if it's stunning, and if Omar Adam shows up, and lots of people upload pictures on Instagram - it will last longer. After all, what couple would get divorced after the sound of bells knocked off a performance at their place for eighty thousand shekels? At the Central Bureau of Statistics, they are less excited.

And what about a bar mitzvah?

Same.

The boy in the 6th grade and his friends started with the strange fashion according to which "Gil Mitzvot" is the stage where once a week everyone gathers to eat mediocre food and go wild with a DJ who has a deal with the recommended hall, which costs tens of thousands of shekels?

Do the child a favor and explain to him in advance that you are not in the game.

There must be an ethical way to celebrate a mitzvah, and if you are not part of a mitzvah then you are exempt anyway.

Your training fund will thank you now, and he will thank you at his wedding.

That is, the day after, when he will have a proper roof over his head and a balanced outlook on life.

Ayelet or Marv?

Political pairings are as difficult as splitting the Red Sea, yet Ayelet Shaked does not despair.

At the same time, it is hard to ignore the pattern that surrounded Bennett and seems to have been adopted by Shaked: a weakness in casting.

Naftali Bennett was unable to find successful partners throughout his years, other than the overly loyal partner, and it seems that Ayelet Shaked was gifted with the same problem but in reverse: the female tendency to trust a man for career and political considerations overcame common sense time and time again, which brought her to an ideological crash.

She was more talented and more dedicated than anyone she chose, but the lesson was not learned when she collapsed with Naftali in the New Right, and so she crawled on her belly into the arms of the political corpse of the MPDL led by the anonymous classmate Yossi Brodani. The improvised slogan "My heart is in --" does not respect her either As a woman. The gospel is supposed to be a mind with a sharp mind, which foresees alliances that only look good and will explode, like the partnership with Yoaz. After all, a combination with Orit Struck or Simcha Rothman was more rational.

Against this background, it is possible to appreciate even more Merav Michaeli, who honestly earned the increase in the polls.

Seven mandates were viewed this week by "Israel Hayom" for the Labor Party.

On the radio they doubted and asked how such a rapid increase is possible, but when the Prime Minister presses for a union with Meretz for no real reason, and Michali repeats time and time again that nothing has changed except the pressures exerted on her, because the ideological path is the same path, the leftist voters get stronger and return home. This is how leadership speaks.
