What's happening takka with Kyle's criminal case in Florida? Not clear if the State publishes updates, at least not that I could find. Wow did R' Yudel ever dodge a bullet when that bulvan came calling with his Militant Feminist take on Gittin!

The whole concept of shadchanim is an American invention (transported to Israel).
While Rebbes and RYs would recommend or push certain shidduchim (especially when a bochur was getting up in age)

Holocaust survivors specifically married without shadchanim (but that might be because of other reasons -- they just wanted to get married and move on with their lives.

Even Shalom Aleichem made fun of the supposed shadchanim craze (calling them yentas)

Also, RYs and Rebbes thus had control over whom their children would marry, a trait that still exists today.

I laugh at these pictures of Rebbeshe ainiklach at their wedding, they seem to be completely oblivious to what's going to happen that night.

The Maharil did NOT chalila change any niggunim! Farkert, he was cataloging the niggunim known as “miSinai” because people were corrupting the Mesorah. And he was koivaya a klala to deviate from the Mesorah. He was kidnapped by the lowlife Emperor Rudolph trying to greedily profit from ransom
