Hindy Lewis, how do I contact you? Have a 25 year old girl, extremely intelligent, made Aliyah 2.5 years ago?

jobs $ for not married
July 6, 2017 7:12 pm

just another idea, maybe, maybe not married people need help finding jobs, because seems like job is a top question for shadchanim, jobs in the community, so they can be around others, maybe helping out of towners get jobs in the community…

also, maybe cheaper yeshiva education for not married vs married…

It's a problem that can largely be solved by coaching.

When singles realize that very often THEY are sabotaging the process because of fears, expectations, despair etc, then they become FREE TO CHANGE THINGS.. instead of being VICTIMS of the system. Whe you are accountable you are also liberated.

My take

I think the problem is deeper than difficult communication with a shadchan…it’s in the parties & their families. It’s been said so many times before, but I’ll just use bullet points to simplify: * Interfering, yichus/money seeking parents * Parents who lie (age, weight, education) * Both genders wanting LOOKS first * Wanting MONEY * Wanting SHLICHUS * Wanting YICHUS * References that are bad – they lie or sabotage * Boys intimidated by educated girls * Girls don’t want an electrician or teacher etc * Both being closed-minded without even meeting * Family issues – SN siblings, divorced, BT,… Read more »

I personally got an answer from the Rebbe after not being sure if I should proceed (this was the 4th time on the third round with the same Bochur) “By you and by others, 4 times is not enough, Go out again” to the best of my recollection.

We do NOT have a Shiduch crisis
July 5, 2017 10:27 pm

We have a Shadchonim crisis!
Most of Shadchonim will not take their time to get to know the girl or a bochur. I don’t see how the “Shiduch Crisis” can be solved if Shadchonim are picking names for suggestions out of a hat…

shidduch crises - my take on it
July 5, 2017 8:08 pm

stop dating so many times for so long! seen so many potentials fizzle away due to thus. wring advice being given out by mashpias saying the Rebbe was for it… well just came across a letter in the igros with clear direction from the Rebbe with him saying that too much dating leads to complications!

combine

I hope there will be a way to combine the info from one group to the next.

We love you

People must begin to care!
July 5, 2017 5:57 pm

Totally agree that there is a shidduch crisis but as I try to ask people if they know someone for this one or this one I see people are not caring. There are a lot of singles, older singles, young divorcees from different backgrounds and aims. If the friends, acquaintances start to ask around and think of those people the crisis would be less severe.
