This past week in The Jewish Press I wrote an important article entitled "Paying For A Wedding: When Machatanim Disagree."
Enjoy!
"I just met with my future machatanim. Lovely people! No complaints at all. Our one minor problem relates to the choice of wedding venue. They want a takanah hall. I’d like something more upscale as my business colleagues will be in attendance. Since this is a financial question, what would you recommend as a compromise between a takanah hall and a fancy venue and how would you recommend splitting the costs? (I’m well aware that my machatanim may read the Jewish Press and see this question, but hopefully it will help open up some dialogue.)"
