A total of 41 Chassanim were called up to the Torah at the Main Shul of 770 Eastern Parkway and at the Rebbe’s Ohel in Queens, NY this past Shabbos.
It is customary in Chabad that the Shabbos before his wedding, the Chosson would get an Aliya to the Torah, preferably by the Rebbe. Today it is practiced at 770 Eastern Parkway and at the Rebbe’s Ohel, followed by a Shabbos afternoon Farbrengen.
This past Shabbos there were a reported 41 Chassanim in total KA”H called up to the Torah.
In the Rebbe’s room in 770 Eastern Parkway, 19 Chassanim were called up: one reading during Shacharis and two readings after Shacharis.
In the Main Shul in 770, 16 Chassanim were called up: one reading during Shacharis and one reading after Shacharis.
At the Rebbe’s Ohel, 6 Chassanim were called up: five during Shacharis and one during Mincha.
This is aside from the Bar Mitzvah Aliyas during Mincha, there were three in the Rebbe’s room and one in the Main Shul.
percenteges vs raw numbers… learn the difference
shidduch crisis
Natural growth is normal… But unfortunately the Shidduch crisis isn’t gone, please don’t belittle it.
Bh for all the simchas. But please don’t say “what shidduch crisis?” For those that are having a shidduch crisis, the bh many simchas doesn’t take it away for them personally. Each person’s situation is individual. Please be sensitive.
A bit of an insensitive headline for those still searching for their zivug.

But it’s catchy
It would interesting and we can also wish mazal tov
There are bH many people that found shudduchim, but sadly there are very many that haven’t yet. “What shidduch crisis?” could be found hurtful to those that are struggling terribly as it invalidates their troubles.The point is also inaccurate as the large numbers are more likely due to the growth of the community as well as the gap of weddings during omer and not the lessening of the shidduch crisis.
Many more!
And this is the proof to point out to all shatchanim and mothers of boys – that their are other fish in the sea and not “just” your son out there or not a “there are more girls then boys ” lie that’s going on for decades.
Think about all the older single teens that are suffering from the shiduch crisis and then see a article that says “what shiduch crisis?”. I think everyone reading this article should take a minute to think what singles do I know, boys and girls that might work. Let’s use this as an opportunity to help make 41 ufrufs every shabbos.
Older single teens?
A older teen should not be in shidduchim let alone suffering from not finding a spouse you should just use older singles
The Baal Shem Tov said that when the heavenly announcement is made, “The daughter of so and so, to so and so…” (forty days before conception, this announcement in heaven is made…) then many false matches try to take its place – which it’s not so easy to rid oneself… – therefore sometimes they get spoken about, other times even engagements come – which need to be broken etc.
Tracht gut vet zein gut!
Soon by all who need!!!
That is beautiful BH. May we continue to have many simchas!
In general, I think we should stop saying “shidduch crisis”. It has a very negative vibe and I doubt the Rebbe would approve.
It’s also unfair to lump a whole bunch of people into a “crisis”. They are people. Not a crisis.
Lechaim to using more positive terminology.
Lechaim to many more simchas.
I’m not sure what the goal of this article was??
Baruch Hashem! There were 41 chassanim called up to the Torah, BUT compared to the amount of singles we have in this community plus Chabad at large there should be WAY more chassanim!
Also keep in mind that we just finished Sefirah, so everyone was waiting to get married.
I’m not even gonna start with the crisis, all I know is that we need a lot more than 41 Chassanim.
Iyh by everyone who needs, it should be easy, with clarity, and bekarov mamash!
Mazal tov!
🎉
Still not enough.
Plenty of singles still around.
Wishing everyone to find their Bashert ASAP

Baruch Hashem!! Every Shabbos should have this number not just the week post sfirah.
At least!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful news. May there always be good news to share. Although I do agree with you, I agree there’s no point calling it a ‘shidduch crisis’ . But it’s definitely not sensitive or kind to write ‘What Shidduch crisis’ at a time that there is an unprecedented number of hundreds of Lubavitcher guys and girls aged 26+ that would love to get married While the term ‘shidduch crisis’ might not be the best thing to call it, for some people it does feel like they find themselves in a shidduch crisis. I know a mother that… Read more »
41 is a small number. Your talking about worldwide , not local.
WE NEED MANY MORE SHIDUCHIM
41 is the Chasanim, the girls have it much harder. Plz don’t belittle our girls…
If there’s 41 chassanim there’s 41 girls
41 chassanim = 41 kallahs.
Article is pointless anyway the week following sefirah.
The reason there were a lot, was because sefira/shavous ate up half of June – the month most people get married. DUH!
Many getting married BH, many still looking, many in trouble in their marriage, many divorced R”L many widowed R”L, many waiting for kids, many waiting for parnosah.
This is the world we live in.
Moshiach now
may mashiah ben david be revealed now
V’Amen
This argument is like telling someone with asthma “but there’s so much are to breath”?!
The shidduch crisis has nothing to do with how many people are getting married, rather how many are still single.
In the later years of the Tzemach Tzedek in Lubavitch there were 55 ufrufs the shabbos after sefira
After 7 weeks of not having weddings…
This is not a huge amount…
Does no one realize that this was the Shabbos after sfira.
Can’t believe no one realized this yet…
This title is contradicting!!!!! There issss a shidduch crisis- all these boys are already engaged!!!!! Hahahah
You can’t get married during sefirah so obviously there will be a spike immediately after!!!
This is very insensitive to all those thousands of girls waiting for a Shidduch.
There should be at least this amount of Chasanaim every week in Chabad, not just the week of Shavous
What is going on in Chabad.
may there be a few hundred Shiduchim every month Omen
Focus on the successes and more will happen IYH! Where your attention goes… energy flows!!
Looking forward to to many more posts like this one! IYH
