Yated Shidduch Forum 2/25/22: Should We Tell Shadchanim That Our Son Wants to Live in Eretz Yisroel?
Question:
Our son would like to live in Eretz Yisroel after he gets married. He says that this is very important to him. For how long? No one knows. But he definitely wants to start off there. Is this something we should tell shadchanim when they first redd a shidduch? Or is it something better left for our son to share on a date once he meets a girl?
Yated Shidduch Forum 2/18/22: How Can I Get Families to Take My Shidduch Suggestions Seriously?
Question:
I have been involved in redding shidduchim for a few years and boruch Hashem have made a few. I try to be quite deliberate when I suggest shidduchim. I don’t just throw out names, but rather make suggestions that to me seem to be the right type for what each side is looking for. Yet, often, it is a challenge just to get the families to look into the suggestions I am making on behalf of boys and girls. Many times, it seems like they don’t even look into the ideas I have suggested. I would be very interested to learn some “trade secrets” to better redd a shidduch so that each side will take it seriously.
