OUT OF THE FREEZER

OUT OF THE FREEZER ON TU B’SHVAT,        was invented 400 years before Lakewood            R. Nosson Nota M'Hanover zt"l wrote a Sefer "יון מצולה" At the end of the Sefer, he describes the Yeshiva world at that time. Bein Hazemanim started on Tu B'Shvat & Tu B'Av The Rosh Yeshiva & the Bachurim travelled to the winter & summer fairs. The מהרש"א stops his Pirush in middle of a Mesechta. (Ms. Shabbos & Ms. Sanhedrin) He writes that he couldn't continue because he had to travel to the fair. Since all the Roshei Yeshivos and all their Talmidim were at the fair it turned into a Shiduchim market. Any parent who had a son or daughter of marriageable age made sure to attend the fair. Hundreds & even thousands of Shiduchim were arranged there.
