I Got To Choose My Future Grand-daughter!
July 7, 2020 4:30 am

She was on a Tehilim group, not knowing at the time much about who specifically it was for.It was actually for my brother Chaim Levi Goldstein, who miraculously survived the dreadful corona. I desperately wanted my brother to survive, and thought of ways to do mitzvohs in his merit. One such idea was to offer complimentary Coaching/Interviews ($) as a merit for his recovery. All allotted appointments were taken when I received one more request from this girl I knew from a few years ago. Rabbi Tenenbaum from Ohel Chana would ask my husband and I every year to farbreng… Read more »

She just made my son’s Shidduch. She was a joy to work with, Toby works hard and thorough and tries to work things thru…helped my son from preparing for his date right thru tips on proposing….It was fascinating watching her at work. She is not just a Shadchan…she really puts her soul into her work. She kept me in the loop the whole time….

But I just want to say: The shadchan described a shidduch situation above: “I called up someone since he knew the boy well. He said, Nah! Why bother with him? He’s not the best boy in town, why don’t you try this (other) one?” I just want to say that it dosn’t sound so good to the ear, to publicly, (or not publicly) “deride” a Jewish bochur – even if he’s not the top candidate at all – and even if we don’t know who he is. I feel one should be “loyal” to any person – even if they… Read more »

The interview was such a great experience

Toby’s methodology is very unique and its amazing that she
is able to operate from Down Under.
Even though she is so far away- you feel she’s holding your hand and
is right beside you throughout the process.
She’s thorough , helps you look at yourself, helps you prepare and understand
what you really need and are looking for
I feel I found a unique precious Gem

Meeting with Mrs Lieder was the highlight of my day yesterday, I felt like a character in the Netflix show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Talking about what I’m looking for and my past, really helped to create clarity. Although, having a match-maker has been around for decades, Mrs Lieder is very contemporary and understanding. She genuinely wants to help single people find true and realistic love. I walked away feeling much clearer about who I am looking for. Writing my 5 non-negotiables was an excellent exercise and she has already referred me to three men in less than 24-hours!”
