I am a teacher at a Kirov girls high school and my husband works with Kiruv with college students . Many times we have his guys that he teaches come over for Shabbos and there was one boy there whom I happened to even know growing up since he was friends with my younger cousin. He kept asking me if I had any good girl for him since I teach at a high school and have many graduates . I kept that thought in mind and one day randomly a thought came to mind of a graduate whom I thought was a good girl and he asked for a good girl so why not give it a shot . I offered it to him and he accepted and so did she . lo and behold a few months later they’re engaged !!! But WAIT the story gets better ! This boy has an older brother who was single and so when he became serious with my student she had an idea for his older brother to go out with one of her friends who also happened to be one of my students …. long story short – 2 brothers got engaged within 3 days !!!! If I never suggested my shidduch idea which actually worked out (I absolutely had no thought even of it getting anywhere but thought hey you never know ) then the 2nd idea of the shidduch for the older brother coming through my shidduch idea would have also have to be delayed and come through a different source !! You never know ! Just give it a try and somehow you can even merit to be somehow involved in more than one shidduch through a simple suggestion !
It helped me make a suggestion although I didn’t think it would actually get anywhere but hey why not give it a shot anyways and it got 2 shidduchim in Klal Yisrael and now 2 brothers on the way to getting married Baruch HaShem !!!
10K Batay Yisroel inspired me to think a bit harder of what could make sense even if it took a few tries to figure it out and also to make the suggestion although I wasn’t sure it would even get to the first date but to make the offer regardless and let them decide ! And in the end it resulted in a double shidduch bH!
