I thought of the idea a while ago but I didn’t really know the girl so well and the boy was my husbands friend so I wasn’t so confident. But I decided to just go or it because what’s the worst that could happen? I can redt it and they would say no but at least I tried. So I reached out to a few people and redt the idea and both sides said yes! Because I’m young and not the closest friends with the girl I took a step back an let a Shadchan take over so that the boy and the girl would feel more comfortable. I kept on checking in with the progress every once in a while and then this week I got the amazing news that they were getting engaged! I am so excited for them! Since I was young it was my dream to make a shidduch and Hashem has helped me to fulfill that dream and be a small part in building another Bayis Neeman Biyisroel.
The story of Elisheva and Yisroel impacted me greatly as I was a girl from TAG and knew the Kalplan family. This organization helped to push me to redt the ideas that I had thought of but was too nervous to actually redt. sometimes I was nervous because I didn’t want to be rejected for my idea and sometimes because it was just a gut feeling and not with so many real reasons. But I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and redt many shidduchim with many of them not even making it to the first date. Then this idea came along and I was by far the most uncomfortable resting it but I pushed myself and Baruch HaShem it paid off!
