WIY, to begin with, despite the fact that all the Heimishe newspapers have covered the subject of Shidduchim ad nauseum, none have offered a Shadchan list with phone numbers.
I think the primary problem is that (with few exceptions) Reb “John Doe” doesnt have any Shadchanim to call who will return his call. Networking at the supermarket and talking to everyone about your child doesnt bring enough results. The Klal sorely needs regularly available idealistic Shadchanim, who are eager and happy to work for the whole Klal, whose numbers they can easily find.
The Klal is over-endowed with volunteers willing to walk the corridors of hospitals many hours of the day, to help strangers (when they’re already sick), but a lack of volunteer Shadchanim to help prevent people from getting sick. Just a thought. Perhaps Gedolim have to be encouraged to attend to this issue.
