He Doesn’t Speak English

Lack of speaking English perfectly is not a reason to disregard Shidduch; Important considerations come first

25th of Adar II, 5714

As for the Shidduch of... the fault with the suggested person, namely, that he does not speak English perfectly, surely is not sufficient grounds for disregarding the propositions. Although this should be obvious enough, it would be well to impress upon that lack of perfection in English is of hardly any consequence in the matter of a Shidduch, where fundamental and important considerations should come first, and where everything else is suitable, the said fault is not a serious matter at all.
