Reply To: Shidduch crisis!!!

I seems just as some single people have m’yaish (given up) so has the community!!!!! HOW SAD!

I think some of the posters are correct in stating that the community should have lists of the single people (with their permission of course). This list should be reviewed by a commitee appointed by the Rav of the community and see who might be compatable on the list. This list could also be used to invite these single people for Shabbos, Yom Tovim and for shirim.

The second thing posters mentioned is peoples attire and demeanor gong on a Shiduch. There is a practable solution to this by training Shiduch mentors, or make a CD or DVD or pamplet giving advice on how to prepare for siduch and what is really important to look for in a person.

But, the important thing is for more people getting involved in this serious matter and not have a blind eye to it. If more people realy care, most of the problems in our community would seriously decrease.
