It’s the truth that, unfortunately, people don’t have a clue today (often) – of the beauty of having true chassidise sensitibilities – and the ADVANTAGE of being able to be really chassidish that comes with it – you can’t top the Torah ways. But it’s hard when “Hashem is in the book, and the klipas are out there in front of us in the world” And many times people are not getting UNCONDITIONAL love, on top of it all! BOTTOM LINE – no matter what, to keep in mind that in the end the ways of TORAH will work more… Read more »
I’m shocked by your comment. He’s offering a positive, emunah/bitochon-based perspective and you see no value here? You sound very very bitter. Maybe the whole talk that this excerpt was taken from would be more helpful to someone like you.
That is one solution.
What difference does it ACTUALLY make if there “IS” a crisis? Or if there is NO crisis?!
Can someone please explain the RELEVANCE of this question?!
i once saw a list of steps or tips from the Rebbe’s guidence on to chasidim re How to attract their Bashert As quickly and easily as possible!
(attention agbag)
whoever has it, please post here

I always spoke to the shadchan directly
the reality of the shidduch crises is symptomatic of A LACK OF APPLYING CHASIDUS! (authentic chasidic teachings that is) Its a “LACK OF CHASIDUS CRISES” whic manifests itself in a myriad of preventable “Crisis”!! Shiduch, Substance abuse, (aka Love starved children) Teenage irreversible regrets… (aka Love starved daughters) Low self image (aka Tznius) Loveless boring marriages (aka Tznius) Abuse physical, emotional or “tactile”… (aka Taboo of mental health interv) Confused/Modernizing chabad-lite (aka Havent a clue of what authentic chasidus is) The solution as always involves returning back to gold old fashion basic Horaos of Halacha and Chasidus! these age tested… Read more »
The main problem are the mothers
They take days or even weeks to give an answere
I wish children can start talking to shadchanim on their own
