Out Of The Freezer

In BMG in Lakewood they have a rule that all bochrim who come from Eretz Yisrael have to wait six months until they date. This is to make sure that boys don't come to the  yeshiva just to help themselves find a shidduch. [Rabbi Pesach Krohn's late brother, Rav Kalman Krohn, was vocally opposed to this rule. How can there be a rule preventing boys from getting married??!]. They call it being in "the freezer". It is now Shvat and the boys who came in Elul are out of the freezer. So if you see any shivering Yeshiva bochur - don't just offer him a coat.

Offer him a girl.

Or maybe let him thaw first.

"From 'shiver' to 'shver and shvigger'".
