1. The weddings halls are overbooked, the maternity wards are crowded and the pre-schools are packed – are you sure there is a crisis. I’ll believe there is a crisis when Maimonides Hospital announces it is closing its maternity ward due to lack of customers, when I read about wedding halls trying to find a new use for their facility, and hear about schools closing due to a shortage of students.

2. Even Adam ha-Rishon had a shidduch crisis, and his did in fact require divine intervention (not to mention some very unusual surgical procedures). Our kids have relatively minor problems. Every single person has a shidduch crisis until they get engaged.

3. The economy stinks for young people entering the job market, which scares off some people. We don’t control the economy.
