Just a thought before yomtov let's keep inviting...

To clarify based on the many articles in the Jewish Action magazine on the topic of singles in our community. One of the takeaways was inviting more often and being proactive in including them in our community.

Honestly, it’s still really hard to understand.

It's really not clear, but on careful reading I think it's something like this.

Articles in Jewish Action magazine about the topic of singles in our communities. The articles cover including them in the community, and inviting them for meals more often. This is beautiful for anyone who can help. They need places to go for meals.

Generally, I think the OP is reminding everyone that there are a lot of Yom Tov meals coming up over the next month, which can be hard for single, so she would like to encourage anyone who is able to invite them.

OP is simply reminding everyone to invite singles for yom tov meals.
Don't ignore them.
Don't forget them.
They need invitations.
They need to be included more in the community.

This is so true.
Invite singles, even those living at home. If you are 28 single and living at home you still may want to be independent of your parents.
Invite them, if they don't want to come they'll decline.
I remember being singe and having no where to go first night rosh hashana... It's not a nice feeling. Hardly anyone ever invited me. No one invited my husband who was living alone before he got married.
And, do not ignore singles, or give them pittying looks on rosh hashana. Look then in the eye, say good yom tov and treat them like any other married adult.

First night Rosh HaShana is a hard night to find a meal. It seems to have become a night when people focus on family only, and don't have guests that night. Maybe the feel that it is a serious occasion, and they don't want distractions.

Of course, people have the right to choose when to have guests or not, but when it becomes a thing not to invite for a certain meal, it's hard for people who are dependent on invitations. Making first night Rosh HaShana and sitting down with the simanim all alone is pretty depressing.

THIS!
Those who do the 'pittying-nebach' , we don't need it. Nobody needs it. The recipient of these pittying glances don't make anyone feel good.

Thanks for the reminder, I was thinking of inviting some older singles for Yom Tov, I will do so today.
