[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are NYT announcements a big thing within the Jewish community?

I always assumed that it was one of the last vestiges of WASP society.[/quote]

Not anymore. The NYT now bends over backwards to be inclusive in the announcements probably to atone for all the years when they weren't.  Despite being owned by a Jewish family, the paper used to be quite picky about who it would cover, and this was well into the 80's. I know because good friends of my parents were devastated when their daughter didn't make it in. They have always covered Jews, but the announcements would appear on Monday. I think it was under the premise that Jews married on Sunday rather than Saturday because of Shabbat.[/quote]

Actually, it's been an "open secret" for years that to get your wedding announcement in the Times, you need to know someone who works there.  Doesn't matter "who you are" socially or the status of your friend within the organization.  It's just the paper's tradition and a little perc for employees.[/quote]
