BRIEF INSIGHT

NO COSMETICS ARE NECESSARY
 
Beis Hillel said to Beis Shamai, "According to your words, if someone purchases an item from the market, should we praise it or denigrate it? Certainly, we should praise it!" The Rashash asks, why did Beis Hillel say, "According to your words"? The Rashash answers that if somebody purchased something from a store where it is possible to get a refund, then certainly if you see that the item is flawed it is a Mitzvah to point it out so that the buyer can return it. However, if the item was bought from the market where is impossible to return the item, you should not point out any defect since he cannot return it. For this reason, Beis Hillel said to Beis Shamai, "According to *your* words"; Beis Shamai maintains that a person may not divorce his wife for any reason, unless she strays from her husband, and therefore marrying a wife is the same as purchasing something from a place where it cannot be returned, so there is no point in pointing out any flaws since he is not allowed to divorce her.

QUICK HALACHAH

SIMCHAS CHASAN V'KALAH
 
It is a Mitzvah to gladden a Chasan and Kalah and to dance in front of them, and to say that she is "Na'eh v'Chasudah" even if she is not Na'eh. [Even] Rebbi Yehudah bar Ila'i danced in front of a Kalah. We must interrupt learning Torah for the purpose of a funeral or for Hachnasas Kalah. It is forbidden to stare at the Kalah, but it is permissible to look at her jewelry and her hair. (Shulchan Aruch EH 65:1-2)
