Engagement #175

“I was working in a nursing home during COVID-19 and one day I noticed an old family friend Sara* who I hadn’t seen in almost 10 years. She told me that she was completing an internship in order to finish off her schooling to become a registered dietician. We were both single and obviously did what was natural and sent each other’s resumes to one another with “I’m gonna try to think of someone for you”. I started dating someone soon after and Baruch Hashem I became a kallah. During one of our ‘outings’ after our vort, my chosson began describing one of his friends to me and asked if I had any ideas for him. It would not have occurred to me to mention Sara’s* name, besides for the fact that I had just caught up with her and she was on my mind! My chosson told his friend that I thought it was a good idea and his mother called me for info. We spoke for a while and I obviously raved – she’s the best 🙂 and…a little while later, Baruch Hashem, we were invited to the Lchaim! It is the best feeling ever to help a Shidduch come to fruition. My chosson was good friends with Yisroel A”H and I remember him talking so fondly about him while we were dating. I hope that this small / big act of chesed we did together will be a zchus for him and Elisheva and bring nechama to their families iyH.”
