shiduch rejects

Shiduch Committee discussion:

There's Avrohom Avinu: He seems to be frum but really he's a BT and his father made idols, not our kind. next.

Yitzchak Avinu: Well his grandfather made idols, there was all that nastiness with Lot and his half brother is an Arab.

Yaakov Avinu: His great-grandfather made idols, his brother went off the derech, his mother comes from a very treyfe family and he wasn't shomer negiah with Rachel Imeinu before they were married and he spent a lot of time with his uncle, who's mammesh a rasha.

Yosef HaTzaddik: His mother had an idol once and she died early, plus he's a slave and his brothers don't like him. There must be something in that. You know where there's smoke there's fire. And with all the issues with Avraham Avinu and Yitzchak and Yaakov Avinu, better not.

Moshe Rabbeinu: Oy, what a maaseh! His parents separated, then they got back together, his parents abandoned him, put him in a basket, he was raised by goyim; not our kind for sure. He may be close to Hashem but his background is so problematic we wouldn't want him in our family!

Dovid HaMelech: Descendants from a geyoret, not our kind of people. Sure a few generations have gone by but all things being equal shouldn't we look for someone with more Jewish background.

Shlomo HaMelech: See above. Also, his mother's marriage was a little dubious, don't you think? He is rich though but the yichus and family background is very tricky.
