Reply To: An End to Shidduch Résumés by Rabbi Chananya Weissman

Mentsch1, you do not understand what Chananya Weissman is trying to accomplish.

He is NOT a dating coach, and giving dating advice is NOT his goal [or at least, not his primary goal].

Hi8s goal is to identify the causes of the Shidduch Crisis, and hopefully, eliminate them.

Chananya Weissman has actually succeeded in making shidduchim, in three ways:

First, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by directly introducing Jewish singles to each other, who are now married to each other.

Second, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by personally organizing over 100 events for Jewish singles.

Third, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by encouraging mixed-seating at Jewish weddings, which has repeatedly resulted in shidduchim and marriages, because male and female wedding guests were able to: see each other, speak to each other, date each other, and marry each other.

All of these things he does for the mitzvah, not for money.

He rarely speaks about these accomplishments, because he gives all the credit to HASHEM, not to himself.
