\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis shidduch was between a friend of my daughter and a relative of mine.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s always been on my mind - about the tragic passing of Yisroel and Elisheva AH. While not a shadchan, I was happy to do something in this realm.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI think the point I learnt most importantly - is that I had this idea over the course of two full years, and kept procrastinating for various reasons. They were all legitimate, and obviously there is a time that Hashem decides is best, but we should be less hesitant to just suggest it.\r\nOn the receiving end, if people embrace the suggestions then it would make it easier for people to offer up suggestions.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy son had Eli Levin sing for us by his Siyum 2 years ago. I was very moved.\u00a0 Obviously, whenever I hear the Afikomen again I am re- inspired. I keep trying to redt shidduchim but I haven't had much success. So then I figured why not set up my own son, with an older girl.\u00a0 His rebbe approved and the rest is history BH.\r\n\r\nAs the mom of the Chosson I decided to try this shidduch - especially after listening to the afikoman song again and again\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI started working at Yeshiva Darchei last year around January-February time. Chani is the secretary of 5th grade. Every day we would sit together and I wished I knew someone for her.\r\nWhile I was sitting in rabbi Kaplans office an idea hit me and I said you know what, let\u2019s try it.\r\nI went upstairs and redt it to Chani and she immediately agreed. I didn\u2019t have the boys number so I needed to figure out how to reach him. That night I went to Gourmet Glatt very late, which I never do, and the boys brother was there also! We called the boy and got the yes right away and they started dating right after Pesach.\r\n\r\nHad I not been in Rabbi Kaplan's office who knows if I would have thought of it! It should be L\u2019zeicher Nishmas both of the Kedoshim.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI met the Chattan\u00a0 at the Oorah Rebbetzins retreat spring 2022 and have been setting him up. We had a break, but some more suggestions came up I contacted him and he ended up coming for a meal shavuot 2023 since he happened to be in Monsey. Meanwhile, I went to Israel for my niece's wedding and another shadchan contacted me that she was sending me a girl for this boy I had posted. My first night in Israel 2:30 a.m I get a call from the boy I text back that it's 2:30 a.m I'm in Israel and I must sleep. Then I get a text from the girl \"when is a good time to speak\". I called her right away spoke to her for a half hour. I called the boy right after to let him know that she is interested in going out with him.\u00a0 Bkitzur I didn't get to sleep till 11 a.m. A few weeks later while still in Israel I was on a trip to the kevarim by Tveria\u00a0 Tzfat and Meron and we went to Amukah. I asked for the girl's full name and the boy's and as I'm sitting there the text comes in with their names I davened for both of them. It was the second time I was at Amukah. The first time was the year I was in seminary and bh within the year I was engaged. Baruch hashem this couple got engaged right b4 rosh Hashanah.\r\n\r\nA shidduch is from Hashem . I am so happy Hashem chose me to be his shaliach. I have been involved with many different shidduch organizations and with 10K Batay Yisroel. How was\u00a0 10k Batay Yisroel an inspiration? To tell you the truth, it just is by knowing that we are helping others in anyway we can and bringing them simcha and that it will bring the Levin and Kaplan families simcha as well. This brings me tremendous simcha. Ken yirbu smachot byisrael.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI was at a wedding a few weeks ago when the boys mother approached me if I had a shidduch for her son. And as the girls were dancing i spotted a girl that i thought could be a great idea.\r\n\r\nThis shidduch taught\u00a0 me the gift of patience......it took a while till it kicked off ground. Yet when it started picking up momentum.....it just flew......b\"h!!!!\r\n\r\n\r\nSince I have been a part of 10k family,\u00a0 I have picked up so many tidbits of valuable advice......i don't find shidduchim so intimidating anymore.\r\n\r\nI realize that parents of children in shidduchim, or singles themselves are concerned and we can lend them the listening ear, the kind word of hopefulness and willingness to see what we can do for them.\r\n\r\nYet the most valuable thing I have learned we can try and put in the effort, the outcome is not in our hands. Its in the hands of hashem. We will get our reward for our efforts of trying to do chessed.\r\n\r\nAll this i have learned from this incredible organization.\r\nMay it be a zechus aliyas neshama.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI've been wanting to set up my brother in law with my good friend since he went to Eretz Yisroel a year and half before they started dating bu of xourse it wasn't even looked at since he was totally not in shidduchim. For that entire time until he came back I brought up the idea to my mother in law every time I spoke to her (quite often) until I finally said \"there's no one else he can marry besides for her!\" That did it! They went out a few time and hit it off even better than I could've imagined! They are happily married now!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI have been redting shidduchim for the last few years and set up many dates but they weren't ending in engagements. I said the next shidduch I set up is not my zchus I will daven to Hashem in the zchus of Yisroel and Elisheva A\"H. I davened throughout and kept in mind the whole time that they should be a meilitz yosher and help bring shidduchim... And Baruch Hashem this couple got engaged!!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI had suggested an idea on a dating site. The young man agreed to go out with her, but the young lady was hesitant because she never had any good dates resulting from the site. I encouraged her to give it a try, because you never know! Baruch Hashem, she listened to me and they got engaged a few days ago! I think this goes to show that a person cannot get discouraged if a certain form of histadlus did not work out yet. Try to be open-minded and flexible...because you never know!!\r\n\r\nI have been involved with 10 Batay Yisroel since its inception. It encourages all of us to keep redting shidduchim because you never know when Hashem decides to make you the shaliach for a shidduch!\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe boy was in my husband's class and my husband bumped into him in a store while he was buying challah since he decided to last minute stay in Monsey for shabbas. I sent my husband to the store to get some plastic cups and last minute cutlery for the event and my husband bumped into him. When my husband bumped into him, they schmoozed and caught up and he invited him to the Upsheirin. The boy showed up and I introduced him to a friend of mine who has a single friend. She set them up and they went out for a year and just got married last week!!!\r\n\r\nBecause of this initiative, since it began, I was inspired to help make shidduchim. I try to chap any idea I have and try to redt it even though it may not be a perfect idea because you never know. Since the initiative we redt multiple shidduchim, a few first dates and bH and 2nd shidduch came from this 10k batei Yisroel.\r\nMy husband and I were so pained about this beautiful couple and my husband and I took on the project to look out for others and build up the guts to set people up. It should be a zechus. Thank you for the opportunity and inspiration\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBH I\u2019m delighted to\u00a0 put two Shidduchim on 10K Batay Yisroel. One yesterday and one today\r\n\r\nMaking a shidduch is a true labour of love (Forgive the pun!) and absolute krias Yam Suf. Logging all the suggestions and first dates actually validates the many hours, time and effort a Shadchan puts in. It makes one realise that no suggestion or first date goes to waste and it is all part of a bigger picture. As it takes a myriad of suggestions and first dates to get to engagement.\r\n\r\nFor me, there is almost nothing as meaningful and exhilarating as being zocheh to make a shidduch. It gives my whole week an extra dimensional joy and buzz. (My family will testify!)\r\n\r\nFamilies Levin and Kaplan are a constant source of inspiration to myself and Klal Yisroel and I feel privileged to be a part of this project.\r\n\r\nMay the pure neshamahs of Yisrael and Elisheva continue to Schepp much nachas in shomayim as they see the many beautiful Batay Neeman being built in Klal Yisrael.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOver a year ago, my friend, Rebbetzin Aviva Zobin told me about an excellent dating mentor \u2013 Rebbetzin Rochel Goldbaum. Curious to hear Rochel, I got hold of her wonderful PA, Kathy Kaufman. Kathy directed me to 10K Batay Yisrroel, where I could request to hear Rochel Goldbaum\u2019s talks. I was blown away by Rachel\u2019s talks. (Shortly after, I signed up as the first British participant on Rochel\u2019s mentoring course)\r\n\r\nComing from the U.K., I had never heard of 10K Batay Yisroel. I was simultaneously blown away by Elisheva and Yisroel\u2019s families.\r\nHow they turned bitter tears into triumph and terrible adversity into building the future of Klal Yisroel. Their positivity, foresight, Emunah and Ahavas Yisroel were palpable and I felt that I wanted to be a part of this amazing initiative too.\r\n\r\nFor the past months I have been logging my suggestions, and first dates on the website. (Please note the London \/ U.K.\u00a0 logged on the site!:-))BH this is the third engagement I have had the zechus\u00a0 to log on 10K Batay Yisroel. I hope to be zoche to be the shaliach of many more engagements in Klal Yisroel. IYH the pure neshamahs of Yisroel and Elisheva should have an aliya and continue to schep much nachas in Shomayim.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since I know 10K, I am trying as far as I can to share this wonderful initiative with friends and family in France. I\u2019ve been also inspired a lot by the song Afikomen.\r\nI wanted to say again a huge chazak for this great initiative.\r\n\r\nBy the zchus of Ysroel and Elisheva always, May we always be more and more inspired to make beautiful shidduchims in klal yisroel\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a single girl in shidduchim, I remember how much chizzuk I used to get from all the amazing speeches 10k Batay Yisroel had. I remember how good it felt to get phone calls from people thinking of me and suggesting different ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen I became a kallah, I remember the amazing feeling it felt to be done with shidduchim and to finally have my dream come true. I remembered thinking that I will do whatever I can to help my friends and anyone who needs a shidduch to get to the same stage.I decided to start logging all my redts on 10k Batay Yisroel, as a zechus for them as they gave me tremendous Chizuk.\r\n\r\nI had a close seminary friend of mine, who I got together with one night. She was asking me if I had any ideas for her after she discussed with me what she was looking for. I told her that I will try to think of an idea. The next day at work, one of my workmates mentioned something about a date he was going on which made me realize that he wasn\u2019t married. After asking him what he is looking for, I told him I will keep him in mind.\r\n\r\nAbout a week later, I was driving and the idea just popped in my head- my co-worker for my friend from seminary. The next day at work, I told the boy about my idea. He said it sounded good and will have his mother look into it. I then logged it on 10k batay yisroel thinking that it should be a zechus for everyone to have clarity.\r\n\r\nAfter redting it, I decided to call someone who knew both sides and asked her what she thought of the shidduch idea. Surprisingly, she told me it was not a good idea at all and she just doesn\u2019t see it. I decided that I had an obligation towards helping my friend, so I continued to push the idea regardless.\r\n\r\nA few weeks later I got a yes from both sides.\r\n\r\nThe siyata dishmaya that came after was truly amazing. Every date they went on just got better and better and really progressed so smoothly. After a few dates, they were both ready.\r\n\r\nI feel so privileged that I had the zechus of being a shliach and making a shidduch, as well as being able to be part of such a special organization. It truly was a win- win for me!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI\u2019ve been spending countless hours on shidduchim for about 3 years. A lot of couples were going out as a result but nobody was getting engaged. I can\u2019t claim that this is the reason as we don\u2019t know Hashem\u2019s cheshbonos. But as soon as I began dedicating shidduchim to the precious couple things started moving forward.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy husband and I are friends with the Kaplan family and when the tragedy happened we were having a difficult time understanding how something like this could happen to such a wonderful family. I have been making shidduchim for 45 years and know how difficult it is to put two people together and make it a successful shidduch. I decided that from the time the tragedy happened from then on I would do matches in memory of Elisheva and Yisroel. It should not have to take a loss for people to think of matching singles. To me it is second nature. I look at a single and think who would match to this person? I have been on syas for 15 years and this gives me a chance to help my friends and other clients find dates and hopefully shidduchim. I am grateful to Hashem that my 4 children quadruplets found their zivugim so now it is time for payback and try to help others find their beshert. It also took a long time for me to find my own beshert and BH we just celebrated our 43 wedding anniversary. For all these reasons of Bracha I continue to facilitate matches with Hashem\u2019s help.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA Gutten Moed,\r\n\r\nI can not explain enough how this wonderful organization is what has given me the drive to redt shidduchim. I used to think that success is measured by the outcome, yet I now know otherwise.\r\n\r\nIt is with all the insight , information, tips, tools and encouragement that 10K offers \u2013 this is what keeps\u00a0me going. It is in the zechus of the Yisroel a\u201dh and Elisheva a\u201dh that was the catalyst of the birth of this organization , which has bought down so much good to the world!!!\r\n\r\nSuccess in my eyes has been\u00a0 redefined. It is about picking up the phone,\u00a0 and letting someone know that they are being thought of. It is being kind and compassionate taking the other persons feelings into account, it is about gently guiding and trying to bring shidduchim to the finish line\u2026..that is WHAT COUNTS! Actually bringing a shidduch to fruition is a matnas chinam from Hashem.\r\n\r\nThis shidduch came about in a roundabout way. An old acquaintance of mine reached out to me about a shidduch for her daughter. It got me thinking and realized she would be suited for a different friends son. I suggested\u00a0 the shidduch, yet the boy was just starting out and it took a lot of persistence on my part to get the ball rolling\u2026.as he had many shidduch offers.\u00a0 Due to the fact that it was my two friends kids I treaded with caution. There were two snags along the way, yet it was so clear to me that it is yad hashem, and that there is nothing that i can do to shake and move things along. I was compassionate to the sides during the \u201csnags\u201d and davened to hashem if it is bashert it should pass\u2026.B\u201dh with the guidance of daas torah (and we as yidden never lose out when reaching out to our rabbanim)\u2026.the shidduch came to be!!!\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI am delighted to let you and Liba know that I was zoche to be a shadchan who saw a shidduch to fruition FINALLY.. after a\u00a0 year of trying and trying since the last shidduch I was fortunate to be the shaliach for\u2026\r\n\r\n\r\nMy last shidduch was August \u201921 \u2013 #305 on my list that I keep since the 10K project was launched and I started to redt shidduchim for their aliyas\u00a0neshama and record the shidduchim I suggested. The boy wasnt listening yet so I waited and then it took a while to get it off the ground. I was up to redting #661 when they got engaged!\r\nThis shidduch was #833 but it also took a little while to get it going and I am up to #896 now when it happened.\r\n\r\nAs I began to write this email, it struck me that this shidduch is so close to home. The boy\u2019s mother is my close friend, and she is LIba\u2019s too!\r\n\r\nMay this shidduch and every other one I redt be an aliyas\u00a0neshoma for Yisroel and Elisheva o\u201dh.\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\nI have been\u00a0redting\u00a0shidduchim for many years. I am not a professional\u00a0shadchan, just someone that tried to help others, and have done a few\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0over the years.\r\n\r\nI do recall clearly a point that I was very burned out with different challenges that arose in the\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0I was dealing with, and I kind of figured I will \u201ccall it a day\u201d and move on with other forms of\u00a0chessed.\r\n\r\nIt was at that point that when mentioning it to a family\u00a0 member that I am leaving\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0to others, she introduced me to your outstanding organization!\r\n\r\nI have gotten so many tips,\u00a0chizuk, and\u00a0halachic\u00a0guidance over the last\u00a0few years. It has given me the skills to chart the waters of this\u00a0avodos hakodesh.\u00a0I see each time I reach out to parents or singles themselves who are struggling in the\u00a0parsha\u00a0it gives them so much\u00a0chizuk\u00a0knowing they are being thought of.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n10K has given me so much, the least I can do is to continue trying to help others.\r\n\r\nThe most integral lesson I have learned is I try to\u00a0redt\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0but the outcome is not in my hands. I leave it to the\u00a0ribbono shel olam.\u00a0Bringing this last\u00a0shidduch\u00a0to completion really strengthened that belief. In addition I have learned not to get emotionally enmeshed in any\u00a0shidduch\u00a0I suggest, and if people are not always so nice when I deal with them its ok, they might be hurting.\u00a0 I try to be kind to all and accept if they say its not for me, I don\u2019t look to push my agenda onto others. I have learned so much sensitivity,\u00a0halachos\u00a0and tips, and have gotten so much\u00a0chizuk\u00a0from this forum.\r\n\r\n\r\nI suggested a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0between two acquaintances of my children.\r\n\r\n\r\nMy friend called me after a few days that it is not the right type for her daughter. A few weeks later her uncle called me and said \u201cyou suggested a shidduch for my great-niece that was not for her yet my niece thinks it is a good idea for my daughter\u201d So that is how I got introduced to this girl. That\u00a0shidduch\u00a0did not end up working out. Yet a short while later I thought of this other idea for her. And b\u201dH straight from start they hit it off well. And the shidduch zipped to finish line so easily and smoothly, what a\u00a0matnas chinam! It just showed me that when\u00a0Hashem\u00a0decides it is the right one, and it should go smoothly it does.\r\n\r\nAnd I always keep in mind: I do my best by trying and leave the outcome to the One above.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It was such a good feeling to be part of making a shidduch and I hope I will be able to make many more shidduchim.\r\n\r\nI am cousins with the kaplan family and I read so many 10k stories on the website that it pushed me to mention an idea if I think it might work out.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes had them in mind, of course.\r\n\r\nEach shidduch made is another amazing hashgacha!\r\n\r\nI was a little hesitant redting a shidduch idea I had because I didn\u2019t want the other party to think I was redting them second class but I knew for various reasons it was a really good idea!\u00a0 I thought I have nothing to lose and only what go gain perhaps so I ran the idea to the party that was \u2018giving in\u2019 first to see if they would even consider the idea.\u00a0 After much thought they realized it was silly not to go ahead with the idea, bh\u00a0 it\u00a0 ended well\u2026..was a match made in heaven!!!\r\n\r\nAnother idea I had for a while but for reasons I can\u2019t get into they didn\u2019t want to listen to the idea.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMazel tov! I\u2019m so happy to be able to share another 10k Batay yisroel engagement!\u00a0 While every shidduch is super exciting, I find this shidduch especially meaningful for two reasons: Firstly, I try and make an extra effort for girls coming from Toronto, the city that I grew up in and Cleveland girls as well, the city that has become my home\u00a0 and where\u00a0 I am raising my family.\u00a0 This couple is a Toronto\/Cleveland couple. Secondly, this was another random encounter, where I met the girls mother in the parking lot outside the butcher shop and she asked me to meet her daughter. As we know, there is nothing random. The fact that I was leaving the butcher shop while she was coming in was clearly orchestrated from Above. Once again, I thank 10k Batay Yisroel for spreading the importance of\u00a0 non-shadchanim looking out for our singles.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI thought of the idea a while ago but I didn\u2019t really know the girl so well and the boy was my husbands friend so I wasn\u2019t so confident. But I decided to just go or it because what\u2019s 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\u2019m 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.\r\n\r\nThe 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\u2019t 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!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy oldest child was in shidduchim for a while, and I went online in search of chizuk. I came across the Batay yisroel website which gave me much chizuk.\r\nIt inspired me so much that I became determined to try to help other people find their zivugim too.\r\n\r\nAn acquaintance happened to tell me all about her daughter and what she was looking for in\u00a0a husband, and another\u00a0friend told me all about her son.\r\nThey sounded perfect for each other, so I called both sides to confirm that it sounded suitable to them too. It was, so I redt the shidduch!\r\nBH it was a match, chosson and kallah are perfect for each other!\r\n\r\nThis is the first shidduch I made,\u00a0Hashem guided me and put this idea in my head!\u00a0 It feels like such a huge zchus to be Hashem\u2019s sh\u2019liach in bringing this chosson and kallah together!\r\n\u00a0 \u2026 and right around the time that I redt this shidduch, my own child got engaged\u00a0BH!\r\nIt should be a zchus for an aliyah neshama for Yisroel and Elisheva a\u2019h.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI was very encouraged to make the phone call and suggest the shidduch after reading all the encouragement from 10k batay yisroel\u2026 that you don\u2019t need to be an official shadchan to make a suggestion.. rather it\u2019s \u00a0something anyone can do.. and we\u2019re all responsible to try.\r\nSo without knowing if this idea might work\u2026 once it came onto my head, I right away made the call\u2026 and one step led to the next till they actually got engaged!\r\n\r\nThis organization is what gave me the push!\r\nMay Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s a\u201dh neshamos have aliya from this new home started in klal yisroel..\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMazel tov! I\u2019m so\u00a0 excited to be able to register another engagement with 10k Batay Yisroel. Bh!\u00a0 Every shidduch comes along with its own story and extra dose of siyata d\u2019shmaya and like always, this time the siyata d\u2019shmaya was incredibly clear.\r\nOver Chanukah, my sisters and I teamed up and\u00a0 joined the 10k shidduch contest. We worked really hard, yet did not see success from the particular shidduchim that we had redt over Chanukah. I believe that while this was not a Chanukah shidduch, part of the success is attributed to all the effort and time that we put into that initiative because our efforts are never in vain even if the results are not immediate or evident.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI always thought after redting a shidduch I would be ecstatic, so proud of what I did, but I have to say, after this shidduch I felt none of that. I felt humbled. I feel like I was just the shaliach that Hashem chose to bring this couple together and I am so happy to witness it.\r\n\r\nI wanted to thank 10K. Your organization gave me the strength to keep on going when things got tough. I have been trying to help out and redt shidduchim for over 10 years and there were many times that I have been discouraged, 10k inspired me to keep on trying, and I am so happy I did. This shidduch that I made was not an easy one. I truly felt like Yisroel and Elisheva had a hand in making this shidduch happen.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI\u2019m not sure how I heard about this website but when I did find out about it, it hit something in my heart. It made me sad because of the circumstances that spurred this campagin but it also inspired me.\u00a0Mi kamcha yesrol\u00a0who rise up in the face of pain. Who try and make others happy when they themselves are suffering untold hurt. A Truly magnificent nation we are.\r\n\r\nThe one and only thing I learned from \u201cmaking a\u00a0shidduch\u201d is that I dont make\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0Hakadosh Baruch Hu\u00a0makes\u00a0shidduchim.\r\n\r\nIt is clear as day that I may very much think it will work- she is deep and he is deep, she has brown hair and he has brown hair, she likes nice things oh he likes nice things, he wants to learn she wants him to learn! All the boxes can be checked off with big smiley faces\u2026 But If\u00a0Hakadosh Baruch Hu\u00a0\u201csays\u201d no. No is no. You can beg people to listen to u, u can give your pitch for hours, You can Find the perfect lounge with just the right amount of people and you can even offer to drive the couple to the date and pay for gas\u2026 but u cant make a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0work if it is just not meant to work.\u00a0Hashem\u00a0is in control and that is apparent when it comes to\u00a0shidduchim.\r\n\r\n\r\nThat being said. I honestly did not put to much thought in my suggestion. It was kind of a shot in the dark. I didn\u2019t spend hours comparing the potential couple seeing if they would click. I just forwarded a resume\u2026 and like they say the rest is history.\u00a0Baruch Hashem\u00a0I was bentched to be a\u00a0shaliach\u00a0for a very special\u00a0zechus. I\u2019m so very thankful and so very happy that I had this opportunity.\u00a0 I hope that this special\u00a0z\u2019chus\u00a0should be\u00a0leloi nishamas\u00a0Yisroel a\u201dh and Elisheva a\u201dh.\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s the story of a beautiful young girl of 27 who really struggled with shidduhim despite her great midos.\r\nShe met this great boy at a shiour torah a few months ago, but with all the covid thing, it took a long time for both of them to make a decision. She hesitated a long time to go on the shidduch because he wasn\u2019t like the guy she always imagined. So she asked me to speak to the boy to check if I think it could match. I spoke to him and to her many times in order to convince them to make the step. Both of them were not very sure, BH they recently got engaged juste before Chanuka.\r\n\r\nAt a moment i felt that both of them wanted to make a break, because they hesitated and the shidduch went on in a large period of time. So I remembered of 10K and of the story of Yisroel and Elicheva a\u2019h, and I prayed Hashem to help them by their zhut. I was so happy when they announced me that they made the step!!\r\n\r\nMay it be as a great zchus for Ysroel and Elicheva and ken yrbou!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI made a shidduch last week! I redt shidduchim daily and this was the first successful shidduch where I did not know either side before I saw their resumes. I had reached out to the kallah\u2019s mother about her son and he was busy so she told me about her daughter. I thought of the chosson from seeing his resume on Ezer Kenegdo. When the kallah\u2019s mother told me about her daughter I quickly found her profile on Ezer Kenegdo as well and I went for it! The shidduch had been redt a few years ago but it wasn\u2019t nagoya then, and this round they went out BH. The chosson is a relative of another shidduch I made and I greatly enjoyed working with his relative\u2019s family. BOTH mothers in this shidduch were sweet, kind, and appreciative. One mother sent me an Amazon gift card after the second date, just to thank me for my time and then after a few more dates I received a gift tray from The Nuttery for Shabbos! I live in Milwaukee\u2026this w\r\n\r\nas such a treat!!! My kids also felt like they were rewarded for their sacrifice of time and attention when I am working on a shidduch. Attention parents of singles: Send chocolate to people who work on your kids\u2019 shidduchim!! It goes a long way! Verbal praise and appreciation is also greatly valued :).\r\n\r\nBatay Yisroel is on my mind constantly. The Levin and Kaplan Families took the greatest pain and cultivated a movement that is so far reaching, it comes up at shabbos meals and in teachers\u2019 lounges. They are true role models of resiliency and taking from their own trauma to help Klal Yisroel. The emails and initiatives are amazing and I am so excited when I hear other people being osek in shidduchim. We ALL need to keep trying to think of ideas. If you can\u2019t redt an idea because of time or other barriers, have someone else do it! Call your Rav, Rebbetzin, friendly neighbor. It does take courage, but it is so worth it.\r\n\r\nI have to credit R\u2019 Shalom Blatter who spends his days and nights organizing, assembling, emailing and advocating for singles. I spoke to him over Sukkos and he told me point blank: \u201cMrs. Hellman, if you are involved with shidduchim you may not do any other chesed! Other people can make meals and give tzedakah, YOU must do this!!\u201d I kept hearing his voice in my head and trying to think of ideas. When I sent a list to Batay Yisroel yesterday, I started to realize how hard I try. My family has experienced personal yeshuos from being osek in this incredible mitzvah and I encourage every person to take a risk and redt a shidduch. Any part that you have in the story brings bracha and yeshua into your lives\u2026you truly are a partner with Hashem. May this special mitzvah continue to be a zechus for Yisroel a\u2019h and Elisheva a\u2019h and may their families continue this incredible Avodas HaKodesh and nechama from their pain.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI know the chosson\u2019s sister from seminary and the Kallah from sleepaway camp. I was schmoozing with my friend and she asked if I knew anyone for her brother. The idea popped into my head of this girl form camp (who barely remembered me when I reached out to her!) The girl and I had few interactions in camp but enough that I knew a little about her. They went out starting last year November, got engaged in the summer, and the wedding is tomorrow! Baruch HaShem!\r\n \r\nSiyata DiShmaya I saw in the process was that I never met my friend\u2019s brother directly, and rather I only knew about him through my friend, and the girl I knew from camp was because I was close friends with her co-counselor, so I would spend some time in their bunk. I feel a tremendous zechus to have been the shaliyach to bring these two individuals together.\r\n\r\nThis project inspires me because of the unbelievable potential there is in making a suggestion. I wish for Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s merit to continue through this project and future couples building batei ne\u2019emans byisrael.\u00a0\u00a0Baruch HaShem this one worked out!!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis past Pessach my brother\u2019s friend came over to my parents house. He was talking about how his dating was going with a girl he was currently dating. He then went on to talk about his older 26 year old sister who needs a shiduch. I thought of my brother-in-law who was 27. I contacted my mother-in-law after the Chag and they went out. I was the go between and I contacted Das Torah to help guide me when necessary. BH they got married November 8th! Only Simchas!\r\n10K encouraged me to make a shiduch. I always wanted to make a shiduch. However, it made me more aware and realize how one person can make an impact if we all try to look out for others and think of someone for them. It made me less afraid to try and suggest people. It can\u2019t hurt!\r\nKeep encouraging others and may it continue to be a huge zechus for Yisroel and Elisheva and may their neshama have a tremendous aliya.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI always try to set ppl up that I know. Ive been trying to unofficially set ppl up the last few years, especially since I feel like there is hashgacha involved because I always log my suggestions on 10k website. I\u2019ve set up many ppl, worked many many hours on various shidduchim, none that got engaged but I felt like I was doing my hishtadlus. At times though I did feel like giving up as it can get draining when a shidduch doesn\u2019t go anywhere after spending alot of time on it. For this particular couple, I started shmoozing with a stranger in the park, and I realized that I vaguely knew of her sister. I started thinking of a guy, and feeling silly (because I had no idea exactly what her sister was looking for and I never met her sister), I suggested a friend of my husband\u2019s. It wasn\u2019t smooth sailing, but BH a few months later, they are engaged. I\u2019m sharing this story so that people can realize that even when you feel silly or are questioned for bringing up shidduchim in the most random places\/ times, to ppl you might not know well, You never know what could come from it, and that is 100% worth feeling slightly uncomfortable for. I am so happy for this special couple and it should be an Aliyas Neshamah for Yisroel ben Yeshayahu Halevi and Elisheva Basya bas Yechiel Ephraim.\r\nIt has given me the courage to bring up shidduchim in any given situation without caring about rejection or people wondering why I care to set up their friend\/relative. It used feel, to me at least, that you either were a professional shadchan or others were wary of why you want to set up a shidduch. Now, it has become more accepted for regular people to make shidduchim.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cFirstly, the organization and awareness that you have started is beyond incredible!\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve been meaning to message 10K 2 weeks ago with good news! I have always tried to set people up\u2026B\u201dH I got many girls and boys on dates but each time things fell through I felt somewhat discouraged as nothing ever materialized.\r\n\r\nI kept seeing the 10K Baty Yisroel initiative being advertised and it encouraged me to keep thinking and continue to try and set people up. Somewhat more recently, someone shared with me Rabbi Levin\u2019s speech from the levaya along with the Afikomen song. I was so taken by the song and its words and I find myself listening to it quite often as it has such an unusually strong message.\r\n\r\nI am so happy to share that the chizzuk you imbued in Klal Yisroel through seeing how you reacted to a Nisayon that is so tremendous and unfathomable, gave me such chizzuk to try and act on your words and help with shidduchim in the klal\u2026 With tremendous Siyaata Dishmaya I was zoche to be a shaliach of Hashem and had the zechus to see an idea I thought of materialize and they just got engaged!!!\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s no better feeling of partnering with Hashem to help a Bayis Neeman Yisroel be born.\r\nThank you for being such an incredible source of chizzuk and using your tzaar to help the klal in such a huge way. Besuros Tovos by all.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\u201cI was a bit apprehensive to call my relative to\u00a0redt\u00a0my friend to her son, as I am in\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0myself. But as the only person who knew both of them personally, I felt an\u00a0achrayus\u00a0to try.\u00a0Although I am pretty young, one of my dreams in life has been to make a\u00a0shidduch.\u00a0Although I have tried\u00a0redting\u00a0other\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0in the past, this is the first\u00a0shidduch\u00a0I\u00a0redt\u00a0as a\u00a0zechus\u00a0for Elisheva and Yisroel. This is also the first\u00a0shidduch\u00a0that I made! The feeling is surreal, and the\u00a0simcha\u00a0is overwhelming!\u00a0My friend is now my cousin!!\r\n\r\nAs the tragedy really touched me, I follow the progress of 10K Batay Yisroel to keep track of where we are holding in our efforts in their\u00a0zechus.\u00a0 Knowing that I would log it on the website, gave me a push to actually call up and push the\u00a0shidduch. This should be a tremendous\u00a0zechus\u00a0for the\u00a0neshamos\u00a0of Yisroel and Elisheva.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\u201cI was very inspired by the father when he spoke at the levaya asking hashem for 10.000 zivugim. I feel like I\u2019m doing hashems work and I take my \u2018job\u2019 very seriously. I actually made 9 shidduchim this yr bli ayin hara. It should be a big zchus for Yisroel and Elisheva a\u201dh.\r\n\r\n\r\nI take shidduchim very seriously, if an idea comes to my mind I know it\u2019s from hashem and I want to make sure it\u2019s not shut down unless it\u2019s really necessary. I really try to hear the dater and his\/her concerns. Sometimes they are real concerns but sometimes they aren\u2019t. I try to suggest to them to tell me his\/her maalos and then I say I hear your concern, were not in a rush to say no yet, so it\u2019s a yes for now and then we\u2019ll see. When they see it\u2019s not a pressure and there\u2019s no train to catch they can usually be persuaded to keep trying until they\u2019re 100 percent sure it\u2019s not for them before they say no. Key is to be 100\u00a0percent sure before they make a final decision, not 80 & not 90. Many of my shidduchim with Hashems guidance happened from this method. Many were giving up before they really knew.\r\n\r\nI hope to continue having siyata dishmaya, to continue to help build yiddishe homes, and ultimately greet Yisroel and Elisheva.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI believe that this is the fifth shidduch that I logged with 10K Batay Yisroel that got engaged BH. It should be a zchus for the neshamos of Yisroel and Elisheva.\r\nThis shidduch is especially close to my heart as I made a decision to invest my time and energy in attempting to set up this kallah. I spent three days networking and tried to ask anyone who I believed might have an idea for her. It took a few months between the three day networking binge until this couple actually dated each other. Before they dated each other, I set up both the chasan and kallah with other dates. This simcha reminds me of the value of hishtadlus, perseverance, patience and not giving up.\r\n10K Batay Yisroel inspired me to reenergize myself and continue to work on shidduchim.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201c10K Batay Yisroel changed the way I thought about shiduchim. I began to feel in a very real way that as individuals in klal yisroel we can all do our part instead of leaving it all to shadchanim. It\u2019s not like I redt shiduchim every day, but I became more action oriented, made more phone calls, and put more efforts in.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI\u2019m a Full time Shadchan and set up dates all the time. For some reason I decided to sign up this particular couple with 10kbatayyisroel for the first time. It turns out the boy was Yisrael\u2019s friend, but I didn\u2019t know they had a connection at the time. This\u00a0shidduch\u00a0was a bumpy ride. Every time we thought it was over, it somehow got revived. We called it the\u00a0techies hamesim shidduch.\u00a0When they actually got engaged, we couldn\u2019t help but think how did this really happen? As I registered their engagement on your website it hit me.\u00a0Yisrael and Elisheva were advocating for this match. There had to be a higher force up there with Hashem making sure this\u00a0shidduch\u00a0would work out. Yisrael was going to take care of his friend and not let this fall through. We are sure that Hashem listened to them. I am so honored and lucky to be the\u00a0Shaliach\u00a0for such a beautiful shidduch.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI am family friends with this family and the mother always said she wanted me to make her sons shidduch. In the summer she asked me about a girl when I was out with a close friend of mine and I didn\u2019t know the girl she asked me about so well but my friend did so I asked my friend about her. The idea didn\u2019t work out for whatever reason and then I asked this friend hey, maybe he is for you but then I didn\u2019t do anything at that point because I think maybe she was busy or something. Then a few months ago the mother started asking me about different girls and for whatever reason none of them were for him. Then I thought of this friend again and they for sure matched up hashkafically but I wasn\u2019t sure personality or whatever. I was nervous to redt it because I didn\u2019t want anyone being upset or insulted or whatever. Then a different friend pushed me to redt it. So I just texted the mother my friends resume and said look into her she is my really good friend and she is amazing. So she did and then she asked me if I wanted to be the in between and I said no thanks so her sister in law did it. Here we are 2 months later Baruch HaShem and they are engaged !!!!!!\r\n\r\n\r\nI never thought that I can redt a shidduch.\u00a0 I heard my siblings and mother talk about this initiative and I started thinking more about setting people up (neighbors, family friends, people that I dated) with my friends or people that I know. I wasn\u2019t so confident in the beginning but I said why not and b\u201dH we are here now.

It is quite difficult at times and frustrating even to get people to the first date. It is a wonderful feeling to bring happiness to so many people when a shidduch is finalized. Boruch Hashem I\u00a0 had a shidduch who got engaged recently. The 10K Batay Yisroel is a wonderful initiative and reminds people to keep on thinking of others. May this continue to inspire people to attempt to make shidduchim in memory of this special couple a\u201dh.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cBaruch HaShem, last week I just made my third shidduch, Leiyloy Nishmas Yisroel Ben Yishaya Halaivi and Elisheva Basya\u00a0 Bas Yechiel Efraim.\r\n\r\n\r\nI was inspired by 10K Batay Yisoel and by Rabbi Levin to keep trying, and with Hashem\u2019s help this was my third shidduch. I only got seriously into redding shidduchim after going to the meeting in Chynka two years ago, hearing the speeches and reading all the stories on the website. May you be zoche to be the inspiration\u00a0 behind many, many more shidduchim!\u201d\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cMy husband\u2019s friend was getting depressed because every shadchan he went to said he was so out of the box. My husband told me he must\u00a0 get his friend a data asap. I asked for a basic description and decided to redt it to my friend. I was pretty surprised when they got engaged. They are happily married now!\r\n\r\nI was very inspired by the 10K BY story\/movement and have tried to redt shidduchim since.\r\nTogether me and my husband have set up 4 couples to go out, one has gotten engaged, one is still dating, and the other two aren\u2019t.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEver since 10K Batay Yisroel was founded, I changed my approach to redting and becoming involved in shidduchim. After hearing Rabbi Levin\u2019s request from HaKodosh Baruch Hu and knowing the Kaplan\u2019s humble acceptance with pure Emunah, one cannot remain unchanged. \u00a0 I knew Elisheva and her genuine smile and cheer, she is truly missed. I am sure Yisroel was the perfect balance in outstanding middos as well.\r\n\r\nSince then, I have pushed myself to act on ideas and become more involved with shidduchim. \u00a0Without a doubt all the shidduchim I redt now or become involved in are with the drive to perpetuate the memory of Elisheva and Yisroel A\u2019H.\r\n\r\nMay each of their neshamos have continued Aliyos. I look forward to the day when they will be greeted by all the couples and their families created through their Zechusim.\r\n\r\nRegarding the shidduch, there was much siyata d\u2019shmaya as the idea just \u201cpopped\u201d in my head. \u00a0It was so \u201crandom\u201d but so clear. \u00a0And there was much hashgacha too; from me and my girls having to change seats in Shul and end up sitting \u00a0near someone new to the Shul and introducing ourselves.; to my son just having to need to come home in a week during camp and having it be right after the 9 days and he desperate for a haircut; and finally we were trying to get a regular appointment and couldn\u2019t which, made it necessary for the Bochur to come to my house for a private haircut. \u00a0All these \u2018coincidences\u2019 lead to the shidduch happening. \u00a0Hashem\u2019s hand my be hidden but He surely made the shidduch happen in a magnificent way.\r\n\r\nMay Hashem bless you all for all you do.\r\nBracha and Hatzlacha.\r\nChag Kasher V\u2019sameach,\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEver since I was in high school I dreamed of making a shidduch. When I first saw the ads appearing for 10K Batay Yisroel I mistakenly thought that they had shadchanim on board who redt the shidduchim that people suggested. I thought it was a brilliant idea as I was a 12th grader who didn\u2019t think anyone would take my suggestions seriously. Once I realized what the organization was\u00a0actually\u00a0about I thought \u201cYou know what? I should really just suggest the ideas myself. It\u2019s probably not so bad\u201d At that\u00a0point I didn\u2019t have any particular\u00a0idea in mind but I still wished to make a shidduch. Then I entered shidduchim myself and I was finding it easier to make suggestions and I definitely\u00a0knew many girls\u00a0in need of a shidduch. After going out with a boy that was not for me I came home and the name of a girl I knew just popped into my head. I have no idea what made me think of her as I have many friends who were looking for that kind of boy \u2013 it was clearly Min HaShamayim. BH they were\u00a0engaged shortly after and just got married last week!\r\n\r\nI am so happy to have the z\u2019chus\u00a0to have a part in this amazing cause.\r\nTizku L\u2019Mittzvos\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cWhile I was waiting to get a bracha from the Sasav\u00a0 Rebbe, I started talking to the woman after me.\u00a0 Someone asked to go ahead of us and my husband said yes. The man ended up spending a long time with the Rebbe. When he came out he told my husband sorry I was long, the rebbe kept me. Meanwhile, while waiting, I was talking to the lady who was behind me in line and I ended up suggesting her son for my neighbor. BH they are now engaged! This should be a zechos for an Aliyas Nishama for Yisroel and Elisheva!\r\n\r\nI followed 10K Batay Yisroel from when it was started and tried many times to suggest boy and girls.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cBH \u00a0another engagement!!! Hodu Lahashem ki tov. My son in law had the idea to suggest his friend for his cousin. He asked me to facilitate it. Unbeknownst to my son in law, this boy\u2019s grandmother had called me about 2 years ago and asked me to find a shidduch for her grandson. I remember thinking about him briefly and actually coming\u00a0 up with a few ideas but didn\u2019t feel that I really know enough about him to set him up. Bh my son in law was on target with his idea. I always think about what our Rav, Rav Boruch Hirschfeld of Cleveland shared with us at a shidduch meeting. Hishtadlus brings down Brocha and Siyata d\u2019shmaya even if the result that we were hoping for doesn\u2019t happen. Perhaps my efforts two years ago were the beginning of the process of this shidduch happening two years later. This concept inspires me to continue trying even if we don\u2019t see the results because no efforts in the realm of shidduchim are wasted.\r\n\r\nI was involved in shidduchim and actually BH made a few quite a few years ago. Life got hectic with raising a large family, work, community and family obligations and I stopped\u00a0 prioritizing shidduchim. 10k Batay Yisroel inspired me to reconfigure and once again put my efforts into shidduchim. BH, since I started again, this is my 4th successful shidduch..\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI was working in a nursing home during COVID-19 and one day I noticed an old family friend Sara* who I hadn\u2019t seen in almost 10 years. She told me that she was completing\u00a0an 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\u2019s\u00a0resumes to one another with \u201cI\u2019m gonna try to think of someone for you\u201d. I started\u00a0dating someone soon after and Baruch Hashem I became a kallah. During one of our \u2018outings\u2019 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\u2019s* 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 \u2013 she\u2019s the best \ud83d\ude42 and\u2026a 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\u201dH 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.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst I just want to say that I love 10K Batay Yisroel! It\u2019s very inspirational to see how every Shidduch suggestion really counts, and if you have an idea, you should definitely try to redt it, because you can really make a difference!\r\n\r\nIn terms of the shidduch story of how this match came about:\r\nI run Tehillim for Shidduchim (you can click\u00a0bit.ly\/TehillimforShidduchim\u00a0to join), and on my groups I sometimes offer the opportunity for singles to send in a resume to me if they would like, and I will keep them in mind for any ideas that I have for them. I can\u2019t make any promises \u2014 I am not a famous shadchan, and I don\u2019t have as many resumes in my network. However, I B\u201dH try my best to do what I can with the resumes that I have.\r\n\r\nI received the boy\u2019s resume first, and the girl\u2019s resume was sent my way a little while later. The *very same day*\u00a0 that I received this girl\u2019s resume, I sent it to the boy as an idea. I knew each of their personalities well, and based on that it made sense that this could potentially be a match, so I decided to try it. Baruch Hashem, it ended up working out, and they are engaged now \ud83d\ude42\r\nWhen you have an idea, try to suggest it right away! Zrizim Makdimim Lemitzvos!!\r\n\r\nI also wanted to share with the Levin family that when I redt this shidduch, I had in mind that it should specifically be in the zchus for Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s neshamos to have an aliyah, and when I sent the idea out, I sent it with a note that the suggestion should be in the zchus for Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s neshamos having an aliyah. I\u2019m sure they had a part in helping this shidduch go smoothly!\r\n\r\nAlthough I was making suggestions before hearing of 10K Batay Yisroel, after hearing about them, I sent many more ideas! They provide so many resources, such as tips and links and small videos of different things to keep in mind when suggesting a shidduch. These resources have been very helpful, and I really pay attention to them and owe a lot of thanks to 10K Batay Yisroel for everything they have provided! Some of my work in shidduchim may not have happened if I hadn\u2019t read a certain thing on the chat, or been inspired by an email posted, or opened a link sent in the chat, so please keep going with this amazing organization!!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When I signed up for 10k I said all of my suggestions will be in memory of Yisroel and Elisheva, hoping to get a siyata dishmaya to be successful and also shared a 10K Post on our group.\r\n\r\nI was zoiche to make 3 Shidduchim recently- the latest today and thought to let you know.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPeople do appreciate the suggestions, especially as you suggest something you considered \u201cgood enough for yourself\u201d to them.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI actually never spent the Shadchanus Gelt from all these years back as I was waiting for something special, that I really wanted to have.\r\nEventually the purpose was found with a new Sefer Torah.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/anash.org\/uaes-first-torah-was-sponsored-by-shidduchim\/\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBH I have the pleasure to announce you the engagement of a girl from Paris (38) with a boy from Strasbourg (30). I didn\u2019t know either the girl and the boy, it\u2019s a friend of mine who called me to ask me if I knew someone for her, so I just sent resume to another friend of mine who knew this boy, and BH they announced us recently their engagement. It \u2018s a real ness and I didn\u2019t do anything out of sending the resume, so I think this story can motivates us that every little action can lead to great things, and the results are in HM hands we just have to try!!!\r\n\r\nMay it be leylouy nichmas Ysroel & Elisheva and I am sure that it \u2018 s because their zchus that we see all those wonderful news BH!!!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith gratitude to HKB\u201dH and much thanks to 10K Batay Yisroel I am delighted to report that my son and I\u00a0redt\u00a0a successful\u00a0shidduch!!!!\r\n\r\n10K provided me tremendous inspiration in\u00a0keeping the message of the\u00a0chashivus\u00a0and ability for all members of\u00a0Klal Yisroel\u00a0to think and suggest for others at the forefront of people\u2019s minds.\r\n\r\n10K\u2019s message has caused me to\u00a0daven: Hashem please help me make good\u00a0shidduch\u00a0suggestions.\r\n\r\n10K\u2019s message has encouraged me to network, to think of ideas \u2013 whether in the back of my mind or proactively with a pen and paper.\r\n\r\n10K\u2019s message has taught us that we are all in this together and we can be transcendent and selfless in our thinking.\r\n\r\nI also believe the numbers are far far greater than what is listed on the website.\r\n\r\nIn this engagement story:\r\n\r\nOn\u00a0Chol Hamoed,\u00a0when\u00a0my son was home from\u00a0yeshiva, I told my son what my close friend\u2019s daughter was looking for. Since my son knows her father from\u00a0shul\u00a0for years, he thought about the father and the \u2018criteria\u2019 I told him about. \u00a0He thought of each boy from his\u00a0yeshiva\u00a0and mentally tried it on for size for that family.\u00a0He confidently gave me a name a number a few hours later and the talking points of the boy\u2019s\u00a0maalehs\u00a0and why he saw it as a fit.\u00a0 I held off a few days with calling her and each day my son nudged me did you call yet? He really gets the credit for pushing this. At the\u00a0Vort\u00a0my husband and I marveled when meeting the boy and feeling that indeed this boy was like the young version of the girls father, like a long lost son!!\r\n\r\nBe\u201dH may this new couple build a\u00a0bayis neeman beyisroel, a\u00a0binyan adei ad,\u00a0and may the\u00a0neshamos\u00a0of\u00a0 Yisroel A\u201dH and Elisheva Basya A\u201dH\u00a0 have an\u00a0aliyah.\r\n\r\nMay we all be zocheh to think of each other and bring\u00a0nachas\u00a0to HKB\u201dH always!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAbout 2 years ago I registered my first\u00a0shidduch\u00a0with 10K Batay Yisroel and they got engaged. I believe that it was shidduch #36. Since then, I have tried many\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0and tried to register each one so that it could be a\u00a0zchus\u00a0for the neshamos of\u00a0 Yisroel and Elisheva. BH, another couple just got engaged.\r\n\r\nI was inspired by the fact that someone took their\u00a0tzaar\u00a0and utilized it to help klal yisroel in such an incredible way. I wanted to have a part of the\u00a0zchus\u00a0and to bring an\u00a0aliyah\u00a0to the\u00a0neshamos\u00a0of two very special souls.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThis summer, a woman recommended I reach out to Batay Yisrael for\u00a0chizuk\u00a0and advice for a family member of mine who has been in\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0for a number of years already. The woman who responded was very sensitive and gave me some ideas about hosting shidduch meetings. Looking at the website got me inspired to do my part \u00a0to pay into the system that I hope will work for me.\r\n\r\nI bought a bungalow last year in a specific colony. One day in the summer, I noticed my neighbor in the colony and said to myself, \u201cWhat a good girl, who can I think of for her?\u201d A neighbor I know from home popped into my mind and I got working. I kept thinking, \u201cHashem, let this be a\u00a0zechus\u00a0for my family member.\u201d Baruch Hashem, the shidduch went through.\r\n\r\n\r\nToday, as I prepare to go to the vort of \u201cmy shidduch\u201d a co-worker came up to me and\u00a0redt\u00a0a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0to my family member. She said, \u201cI got a yes from my brother, I think he would be perfect. Let me tell you about him.\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\nI sincerely feel that Hashem treasures the\u00a0zechus\u00a0of helping people find their\u00a0zivug.\r\n\r\n\r\nMay Hashem answer all our tefillos.\u201c\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It did take a while to push though, but I kept mentioning it again, asking what was going on (I give credit credit to my mother for pushing me to do so!) Thank you so much, it is only due to inspiration I heard\u00a0 from this program that I began thinking of shidduchim for people on a more consistent basis.\r\n\r\nI heard someone mention (I think from one of the 10K batay yisroel events) that everyone should talk to their friends on the phone for even just five minutes at a time (or a half hour a week) and mention names in order for shidduchim to come about through that. Since then, I began thinking about my friends and neighbors on a more consistent basis. BH, I was able to be a shaliach for this shidduch.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI was\u00a0zoche\u00a0to live around the corner from the Levins for 7 years, during which I heard\u00a0Megillah\u00a0at their welcoming home several times. I learned a lot from Mrs. Levin without her realizing it, especially about maintaining a calm demeanor even with a houseful of children and no matter what is going on. I was\u00a0zoche\u00a0to know the Kaplans from the many summers my family spent at BVG (1991-2000).\r\n\r\nI had\u00a0redt\u00a0lots of\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0from when I was in my late teens until late twenties; two shidduchim that I\u00a0redt\u00a0when I was 18 materialized, but I did not serve as the go-between. Then my life became too hectic to spend time\u00a0redting shidduchim,\u00a0so I stopped for about ten years.\r\n\r\nThen, three and a half years ago, an obvious\u00a0shidduch\u00a0came up: my childhood neighbor and my cousin. The families live down the block from each other and knew each other for years. Even after that\u00a0shidduch, I still felt that I was too busy to\u00a0redt shidduchim.\r\n\r\nThen 10K Batay Yisroel was founded, and I really wanted to join the Levin and Kaplan families in creating a\u00a0\u201cbinyan adei ad\u201d\u00a0for Yisroel and Elisheva A\u201dH. I started\u00a0redting shidduchim\u00a0again, but I was limited to the people I knew or heard of, and I realized that I needed to expand my pool of people looking for a\u00a0shidduch. I have a friend who got married at 28 and had been married for a few years and was waiting for children. She started a shidduch group, and we had our first meeting on Chanukah 2018 (on my grandfather\u2019s\u00a0Yahrtzeit\u2013 he was a big proponent of\u00a0redting shidduchim\u00a0and encouraged me to do so). There were just a few of us participating, so my friend subscribed to receive singles\u2019 profiles from Sholom Blatter so we\u2019d have a wider pool to work with. None of us in the group have much time to devote to the cause, but we\u2019re all doing the best we could.\r\n\r\nAt one point, I made a rule for myself:\u00a0redt\u00a0a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0a day. I would not go to sleep at night without having\u00a0redt\u00a0a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0that day. Some were done by phone, but most were redt via email. Early each morning, I picked one single I knew and scrolled through all the profiles in the appropriate folder in our shidduch email account (eg \u201cMales 30s\u201d) until I found one that looked suitable, and I sent an email asking if he\u2019d heard of her. I kept that up for a few months.\r\n\r\nAt this point in time, I probably suggest a shidduch a week, on average. I would have gotten \u201cburnout\u201d from\u00a0redting\u00a0so many\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0and getting nowhere, but two things kept me going. One was knowing that this is what Hashem wants from me since He gave me strengths in networking and connecting with others. The other thing that kept me going was actually not a thing but a person, and actually not one person but two. My friend who started the shidduch group and I each had a baby boy approximately one year after that first meeting! If I wasn\u2019t seeing results in\u00a0shidduchim, I definitely felt that my little\u00a0matnas chinam\u00a0was a reward for my efforts and my efforts were spurred by 10K Batay Yisroel.\r\n\r\nSomeone I know suggested her niece for a relative of mine, and while she didn\u2019t seem right for him, she sounded perfect for his friend and neighbor, whose family I know well. With masks required indoors and high temperatures and humidity outdoors (Lakewood and Baltimore), dating was\u2026whatever, BH they are happily engaged! Interestingly, the boy spent his summers at BVG, and his family still goes there as well.\u201d\r\n\r\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThe couple are both from Montreal. I\u00a0got to\u00a0know the boy through my son. They were in yeshiva in Israel together and came home due to Covid. The girl is the daughter of an acquaintance who had made an impression on me at a school fundraiser. I know the only way I thought of the shidduch back in April. When I made the suggestion I did have Yisroel & Elisheva in mind. BH they got engaged this past Sunday!\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve been getting all the daily WhatsApp posts. I watched the December 30 meeting and I\u2019ve been on many zoom meetings. For the last 4 yrs I have a Nishmat chat for singles.\u00a0 Praying is good but it\u2019s not enough. 10K Batay Yisroel has definitely inspired me to do more. I work full time and most of my spare time is dedicated to\u00a0shidduchim.\u00a0 I pray I will be\u00a0zoche\u00a0to do many more and may each one be an\u00a0Aliya\u00a0for Yisroel & Elisheva\u00a0neshamot.\u00a0 Amen\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cHi and a huge\u00a0chazak\u00a0for this incredible organization.\r\n\r\nMy first idea of\u00a0redting\u00a0a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0came from one of my job colleagues. He asked me to find someone for his young brother. I tried out many times but it didn\u2019t worked out.\r\nA few weeks before the quarantine, the idea of the\u00a0schidduch, came out to me. About three months later BH, they got engaged, two weeks ago.\u00a0 I thank Hashem a lot to give me this incredible opporunity to contribute to build new\u00a0batim beyisroel!!\r\n\r\nI heard about 10K a few weeks after my first idea the schidduch of RC and BL, I found this organization so great!!\r\nI feel that the\u00a0zchut\u00a0of Elicheva and Ysroel helped a lot in the accomplishment of the\u00a0schidduch.\r\nBecause, all\u00a0schidduchims\u00a0that I tried to redt before didn\u2019t work out, and BH since I knew this organization, and since I mention them in my\u00a0tefila\u00a0before\u00a0redting\u00a0a\u00a0schidduch, I feel that there is a\u00a0siyata dichlaya meyouchedet!!\r\n\r\nBH It\u2019s the second successful\u00a0schidduch\u00a0that I\u00a0redt\u00a0this year and I feel that it\u2019s a lot thanks to the\u00a0zchut\u00a0of Israel and Elicheva.\r\n\r\nZechutam yaguen aleinu vealkol ysroel, ken yrbou smachots beyisroel!!!\r\n\r\nNow I would like to talk to you about the second\u00a0schidduch\u00a0I\u00a0redt, It\u2019s directly\u00a0min\u00a0Hachamayim.\r\n\r\nI have a friend of mine who has a brother and she told me please do you have someone for him. The idea of his\u00a0kala\u00a0came out to me first, because they were in the same university so I told why not!!\r\nBoruch Hashem\u00a0the\u00a0schidduch\u00a0went successfully and they are getting married in a few months!!!\r\n\r\nI think the achievement of this\u00a0schidduch\u00a0is very because of the\u00a0zchut\u00a0of Ysroel and Elicheva because in the past years, when I tried to make\u00a0schidduchims, it didn\u2019t worked out , and since I knew this organization I feel a\u00a0siyata dichmaya meyouchedet\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cMy husband and I made the\u00a0shidduch. We have always been on the lookout for shidduch ideas for my best friend, and then when my husband found out that his friend was dating, we decided to go for it! It was a bit complicated with covid because she\u2019s from out of town but bH it all worked out and they recently got engaged! We are so excited for the out of town wedding in August!\r\nMazel tov BW and SB!!\r\n\r\nI was in Elisheva\u2019s grade in TAG my whole life, so I\u2019m always trying to do things in her\u00a0zechus. I\u2019ve made suggestions before and logged them into 10K Batay Yisroel so I began receiving the emails, and when I read the stories about how average people just made\u00a0shidduchim, my Husband and I decided that we had to try it too! IyH we hope to make many more!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI have been making matches for 40 years and have accomplished only 6 but since the Tragedy of Elisheva and Yisroel happened I have been making matches in their memory but this match actually worked. This project was very thought out and a beautiful dedication in their memory. The only thing I have said from the beginning when the project was first thought of is \u201cwhy did it need two beautiful people to lose their lives for people to start helping to make\u00a0shidduchim\u201c. It should be in everyone\u2019s blood and mind to help singles find each other. The minute I meet a single I already start thinking who would he\/she match to? Do we need a tragedy to think this way or is this the way every Jew should think about helping other people from the start. A\u00a0middah\u00a0that is must in every Jew.\r\nWe are friends with the Kaplans and never had the pleasure of meeting the Levins but our hearts and respect go out to both families for their loss and dedication for\u00a0shidduchim. I compare it to a fire. Do you first need a house to burn down to first start being aware of fire safety rules? Fire safety rules should be on everyone\u2019s mind all the time.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI have been so inspired by the daily inspiration, tips and\u00a0halochos, ever since I have signed up with this wonderful initiative. The truth be told I have been suggesting\u00a0shidduchim\u00a0for about 10 years or so, yet over the last few years felt very burned out by the\u00a0shidduch\u00a0scene, and how parents and girls and boys deal with things. Since this is not my primary job I had taken a step back. Yet about a year ago a dear family member sent me a link to sign on to the whatsapp chat, and since then it has given much\u00a0chizuk\u00a0of the importance and need for everyone out there to get involved.\r\n\r\nI am a born New Yorker yet have been living in eretz yisroel for the last 22 years\u2026.b\u2019H. The\u00a0shidduch\u00a0scene for children of anglo parents that grew up in Eretz Yisroel could be very challenging. Many of them would like to see their offspring\u2019s with an English speaker yet it is not always possible. I am a courageous person and if I feel a\u00a0shidduch\u00a0between the girl and boy are suitable I try my best to reason with the parents\u2026.that could be very tough at times.\r\n\r\nThis special\u00a0shidduch\u00a0is a wonderful girl with anglo parents, to a fantastic truly Israeli Sabra, yet when I\u00a0redt\u00a0it to the parents I told them it is very \u201cleft field\u201d yet I truly felt the girl and boy suite each other. With much\u00a0Siyata DiShmaya\u00a0the\u00a0shidduch\u00a0hit off right away and they got engaged two weeks ago\r\n\r\nI have written above, how the\u00a0halochos, ideas, and beautiful\u00a0chizuk\u00a0gave me the push forward!!!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cSo my sister and I are often on the phone talking about anything and everything. We have both tried in the past to make a shidduch but never got too far. We were talking about it and my sister told me how she is so inspired from this organization and she really wants to make a shidduch. She then redt a few shidduchim and actually one shidduch went out a few times. While this was going on, I was so excited for her as each date that she got a yes. But after the 5th date, it was over.\u00a0 It was so exciting for us that she actually got someone to go on a few dates! I wanted to do so as well! I redt this shidduch and got a yes from both sides. Oh I forgot to mention, that one our favorite parts are checking the website to so the numbers of first dates and engaged go up. So when my sister got a first date she was able to put it in and the number went up. We were so excited!! Then we did the same by my shidduch and hoped it will make it to the end. Well that\u2019s the story. And it all ended well.\r\n\r\nWhile they were dating and the number was up to 99, I thought I would be 100! But I missed it!\u00a0\r\n\r\nI was the 1,510th shidduch to go on a first date!\r\n\r\nThanks for all the inspiration and hope to keep it going and IYH hope to make more shidduchim !!\r\n\r\nThanks for everything\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI was very inspired to red shidduchim I followed the 10K Batay Yisroel straight from the beginning when Rabbi Levin started it. I\u2019ve checked the numbers on the website and read all the testimonials. I\u2019ve logged quite many suggestions and logged a first date that my mother redt. I was at the gathering in Chynka and it gave me a push to continue trying. A few weeks ago I helped in a shidduch by hooking the boys parent up with a shaddchan who made his shidduch. BH this passed week I made my very first shidduch and it was actually for my own son. I had redt a boy for the girl but nothing came of it. Being that I had her resume from the first shidduch I redt for her, I looked it over and thought maybe she could be for my son. I actually tried helping someone else out and ended up helping myself and my family in the process! Thank you Rabbi Levin for pushing and inspiring so many people to redt shiduchim. May it be a z\u2019chus for you and your family and the Kaplan family and an Aliyas Nishama for Yisroel and Elisheva.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe boy is my nephew and the girl is my daughter\u2019s friend. Whenever I redt shidduchim, I always have Yisroel and Elisheva in mind! I thought of the shidduch 7 months ago. When I spoke to the parents they both told me that since one lives in Eretz and one lives in America as long as no one is coming in lets hold off. Well 7 months later the boy was coming into america and the boys mother reminded about my shidduch. So I went ahead and redt it to both sides again what amazes me the most was that no one that I mentioned it to thought it made sense but i kept on thinking if Hashem put it in my head and they are both really nice people why shouldn\u2019t I try. And thank you Hashem for making this wonderful shidduch happen. Also the way I presented it to the girls mother when she asked me why I think its a good idea and I said\u201d I could just see them together \u201c and the mother went with the shidduch because I said that. So you see the right words Hashem put in my mouth worked\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cRedting shidduchim has always been my hobby when i was single but i never got anywhere. When i recently got married i was excited to broaden my contacts. My Chosson had a good friend Osher, (Riverdale, 24 ) who he thought would be a good idea for my friend Chavi (Lakewood, 25). We set them up when we were engaged, they went out for the first time the night after our wedding and now 6 weeks later they are BH happily engaged. Its amazing how Batay Yisroel keep an awareness and reminder to everyone that anyone can be a shadchan and don\u2019t give up since you never know!? I always see the 10K adds and check the website and log my suggestions and reading others stories kept me inspired to keep trying.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Being totally honest I got engaged the same time as yisroel and elisheva Erev Pesach 2018. I got married in the summer 2018 and only heard about the 10K a few weeks ago, I was so inspired and moved that i went on a shidduch redting rampage and BH an older couple (30) are getting engaged TONIGHT!!!!!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI myself am actually a girl \u201cin the parsha\u201d, which would probably have made me even more hesitant to suggest something than the typical person, but the ads were everywhere and I realized that I only had what to gain. This was not the first suggestion I tried because of the 10kBY initiative, and quite a few of the shidduchim I pushed did date a number of times but nothing came of any of them. I actually brought up the idea at my shabbos table and things went wild from there\u2026 It actually was not smooth sailing for much of the ordeal and there was plenty of stress for everyone involved. So many times over the past few weeks I was so tempted to just give up and never redt another shidduch, but Baruch Hashem it worked out and I am so grateful for the zchus\u2026 10kBY is for sure a huge part of that!! Thank You!!!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI\u2019ve been redting many shidduchim as a zchus for Yisroel and Elisheva a\u201dh and finally baruch Hashem I made my first one!! I kept on redting even though most of them did not go anywhere-always with the hope that this time something would happen and it did baruch Hashem!!\r\n\r\nI can definitely tell you about how the project inspired me. Number 1 I would say that I am a single girl so normally I would think that I don\u2019t stand a chance to make a shidduch. I think this project revolutionized the idea that anyone and everyone is capable of making a shidduch-they just need the courage to redt it!! It is becoming more and more popular for girls to redt shidduchim and I see it over and over again that many are zoche to actually make shidduchim! (two of my single friends made shidduchim as well) Without this project I don\u2019t think we would think it is possible!!\r\n\r\nNumber 2- I would love to share with the Levin family that when I redt this shidduch I said out loud that it should be a zchus for Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s neshamos. I\u2019m sure they had a part in making this shidduch go so fast and easy!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI originally mentioned this shidduch 6 months ago and decided I would try It again. I called again then immediately logged it onto 10k website. BH they were interested and the shidduch happened shortly after. I think 10k inspired me to red shidduchim and I only became a Shadchan after the organization was formed. I bH did 11 shidduchim in the past year and a half. It should bring an aliyah for the neshomos of Yisroel and Elisheva and a Nechama to their families. \u201c\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI suggested someone I went out with to someone I (sort of:) knew. I didn\u2019t think anything would come of it. However, apparently a lot of people thought of the idea but no one went ahead with it. Hashem chose me to be the shalaich and B\u201dH they got engaged last week. May everything that comes out of their future home be a zechus for the neshamos of Yisroel and Elisheva Basya!\r\n\r\nI am constantly seeing ads with peoples feedback on this initiative. The whole culture it has created definitely impacted my suggestion. Being in shidduchim I am often wary of \u201crandom suggestions\u201d. However this initiative and my recent shidduch changed my perspective a little bit. A few days after they got engaged I saw an add introducing 10K first dates. This motivated me to suggest another shidduch with someone else I went out with. I was a little shy but I told myself I am doing this for their zechus! All I had to do was suggest it to someone (she thought it was a brilliant idea) and let a professional take it from there! We will see what happens\u2026.. May we hear of many simchas!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs a young married woman, seeing the ads for their zechus, I always wanted to be a part but was never able to come up with any ideas. Then one day I redd a shidduch to a friend, for a week I put all energy into it and then the boy\u2019s mother asked if I mind if she uses a professional shadchan. I reluctantly said yes and when I thought it through I realized it was the zechus of hopefully bringing two people together that I wanted and nothing more. 2 months later they are now engaged, the girls side appreciates the time I put in very much but from the boys side I got \u201coh you only did 1 small phone call you weren\u2019t really the main shadchan\u201c.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI attend a Shidduch group called Aleinu L\u2019shadaich based in Five Towns. I was frustrated because I had a lot of names but they meant very little to me because I didn\u2019t know them. I felt like I was shooting darts. I decided to make a singles\u00a0 BBQ\u00a0 in my house on July fourth.\u00a0 10 girls -10 guys- very chilled. My daughter and her friend were very helpful. We consulted with shadchannim who had done this and with singles to hear what they wanted. It was easy getting the girls, the guys were a bit harder but with S\u201dD we had 13 guys and 11 girls. They were likeminded, similar hashkafas, and all were helpful and polite. It was amazing and they all had a wonderful time. After the BBQ I got in touch with each of them. I had two couples that wanted to go out and I logged them into 10K Batay Yisroel to give added zchusim all around. One couple didn\u2019t work out and the other- my daughter\u2019s friend who was so helpful, dated all summer -a guy that my daughter had previously dated and had convinced him to come to the BBQ. I attended the trial having the inside info\u00a0 that they were getting engaged. When I read that Rabbi Levin said that he checked the website during the trial to see if there were engagements- I was happy to send him the message that one was already being planned.\u00a0 This experience has taught me that not everyone loves the \u201cShadchan\u201d experience, but there are other ways to meet and date. We had a perfectly kosher singles event with wonderful frum people who learn and grow and daven. They are also capable of making shidduchim by thinking of each other and setting each other up with family, friends, or other people they dated. It was a wonderful experience and B\u201dH had a wonderful outcome.\r\n\r\nReading the ads and emails from the Kaplan\u2019s and Levin families was very inspirational and it gave me the added push to just do it. Making the BBQ was a joint effort. We had people who recommended singles, people who offered to bring food, and all of the singles helped prepare and clean up. It was a great feeling to see how happy everyone was after an enjoyable evening. Everyone\u2019s involvement should be a zchus for an aliya of Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s neshamos.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBH I just had the zechus of completing my first shidduch! I\u2019m only 21 years old but I know the difficulty of being in shidduchim. 10k had really inspired me and I\u2019m constantly redting shidduchim because of it. I\u00a0 thought of a great idea for my close friend from seminary\u2019s brother a while ago but he wasn\u2019t in shidduchim yet. As soon as I heard he was starting I asked my mother to please redt my close friend from high school to the boy and knew that no matter what I have nothing to lose. They B\u201dH got engaged tonight!! Thanks to 10k for giving me that much needed push and BH see the fruits of my labor.\r\n\r\nIt helped show me that you don\u2019t need to be a professional Shadchan to make a shidduch. No matter what people are always happy to hear that you are thinking of them in these very trying times. B\u201dH I was zoche to make a shidduch and will b\u2019ezras Hashem continue to help in any way I can!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the end of last year I set up two friends, in their 30s, and they just got married at the beginning of the summer. I knew them both from different places, the guy from high school and the girl more recently and it just came to me. The girl was from LA but living in NY at the time and the guy was from LA, lived in NY and then moved back to LA, so their paths kept crossing and they never met. When they finally went out they hit it off and realized they had a lot of mutual friends. At the vort, tons of people said \u201cwhy didn\u2019t I think of this sooner.\u201d Everyone thanked me but I said it was all Hashem. \r\nThe chosson\u2019s mother passed away when we were in high school and the kallah\u2019s brother passed away many years ago as well, their presence was felt very strongly at the wedding and throughout the whole process.\r\n\r\nKeep pushing, checking in, and let Hashem do the rest.\r\n\r\nI was of course very moved when I heard about the 10K project, I myself am an \u201colder single\u201d (30s) and in the dating world for many years, and always appreciate when people send me suggestions and try to set me up. It reminds me that I am not forgotten, that someone is still thinking of me to set me up. It really means so much. So too, I always trying to set up my friends and family. So this project really inspired me to keep trying, because you never know when something will work out.\u00a0\r\n\r\nI hope that the family continues to be comforted by this project and Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s neshama should have an aliyah with each suggestion, match and iyh shidduch that is made. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI want to tell you that 10K is behind this shidduch. I was in shidduchim when the tragedy happened. After seeing this wonderful initiative, I made it a priority to think of other friends every time I dated someone that did not end up being for me. Once you start thinking \u2013 you eventually get good at it, its like practicing playing an instrument. Over time you get better and more on point. In the past year me and my family must have thought of 75 \u2013 100 ideas between family friends, people I dated, people my friends dated etc.. This shidduch is a friend from yeshiva to a girl I dated. I saw the yad H\u2019 through and through. I kept pushing my friend every few weeks. It just wouldn\u2019t leave my head what a good idea this shidduch could be. I kept thinking of the 10k initiative and pushed myself to remind my friend every few weeks. They finally went out and bh just got engaged!! Additionally I had two other friends date girls over ten times because of ideas I thought of lzchus Yisroel and Elisheva ah. This is a beautiful initiative to help in the biggest form of chesed possible lzchus Yisroel and Elisheva! Let\u2019s make many more shidduchim lzchus! Lets continue to change lives! Simchas! May these words bring a level of nechama. No doubt this shidduch came about through their teffilos in shamayim for klal yisroel.\u00a0\r\n\r\nThis project was the motivation and driving force. I made redting a shidduchim my priority because of this project. Someone once approached the Lubavitcher Rebbe broken and in tears and begged the Rebbe to bring Mashiach with his teffilos. The Rebbe responded strongly over and over that only everyone together can do that not him alone. Helping marry off klal yisroels singles can also only happen with everyone together doing their part! Not just ten main shadchanim. Thank you 10k! Keep raising the bar and spreading this special project\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a0I made a shidduch this past week and I can definitely say that the 10K Batay Yisroel campaign played a big role in it. The kallah is a yesomah so it is such a big simcha.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a0My friends daughter Racheli made aliyah by herself. She is very close bh to her family, and at the age of 21 is quite brave. Understandably so, her parents were concerned about her finding a proper shidduch. I had her in mind, and I participate in Ezer Knegdos data base, and saw Oren who is from Australia and moved to EY\u00a0 where his father is originally from.\u00a0 The resumes looked similar in what they were searching for, and so i gave it a try!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis shidduch was made between my cousin and a Bochur I dated. My father and I both thought of it and contacted the shadchan who had redt it to me. Although the shidduch seemed so striking I normally would\u2019ve had a lot of hesitations about suggesting it. With the motivation promoted by 10K of redting shidduchim Leilu nishmas Yisroel and Elisheva I was able to make the move and ignore the hesitations.\r\nAnd I am so grateful I did!\r\nThis is the best feeling ever!!!\r\nMay Klal Yisroel continue to share in many many more simchos!!!\r\n\r\nThank you!!!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI\u2019ve been somewhat involved in shidduchim for the past while and whenever I see a new number on caller ID I assume it\u2019s about shidduchim. A lady called me and I assumed it was about shidduchim but when I answered she said that she\u2019s actually calling about an apartment she is trying to rent. When I told her why I thought that she was calling, she said that she also knows someone looking for a shidduch, actually her daughter. I mentioned a name for her daughter, the lady\u2019s son knew him and also thought it was a good idea and from there it went smoothly B\u201dH.\r\n\r\nFrom an apartment a shidduch came about!\r\n\r\nI always see the 10K ads and emails and I decided if I\u2019m redting shidduchim I\u2019d want it to be a z\u2019chus.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSo I can definitely say that the advertising and drip drip message of 10k that anyone can suggest a shidduch made an impact on me. So many times I\u2019ve had ideas but always felt that \u2014 c\u2019mon, do I really know what I\u2019m talking about etc etc. This time, with the empowerment from 10k that anyone can do it - you don\u2019t have to be a professional experienced shadchan, I picked up the phone and just suggested\u2026 one phone call lead to another.. research, resumes, financial chat, dor yeshorim and at each stage I was telling myself that it's ok\u2026you don\u2019t have to be a professional to navigate this phone call.. next was dating venues, coaching him\u2026 coaching her\u2026 and yes, it took hours of time and lots of koach but suddenly there was a mazel tov! Its a tremendous feeling to have played a hand as the shaliach of Hashem in setting up a new home in Klal Yisroel\u2026 10k\u2019s message and empowerment is invaluable! It should be a zechus for the families and an aliyah for their neshamos.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen family friends are better than professional shadchanim:\r\n\r\nNot everyone has a picture perfect life, and it is often those individuals who have been through things and struggled, who end up making the best spouses. And yet it is ironic how those individuals who met their life\u2019s challenges with grit and determination, and really built themselves in to solid and sensitive ovdei Hashem, are often stigmatized by our community- especially when it comes to shidduchim.\r\n\r\nThey need our help! I know it isn\u2019t fair but professional shadchanim often have no choice but to match up people based on their stories. Instead of thinking about who would make a fitting mate for the individual carrying the stigma of a less than perfect family, a shadchan will often look for someone who will be willing to consider someone with a story. And so many talented, capable, refined and successful singles will be labeled second rate and suggested to people who are not of the same caliber, but who carry the burden of a similar story. And that\u2019s where family and friends come in. We see our friends as wonderful people instead of defining them by the stigmas they carry. Therefore we can often do a better job of redting our friends shidduchim.\r\n\r\nI have a friend who had a very special daughter in the parsha, and she called me to ask about an eligible boy in my city. But that boy wasn\u2019t frum enough for my friend\u2019s daughter. So I tried to think of someone who is frum enough, and serious enough about his learning for this girl, and the face of another boy in my city flashed through my mind. I thought it was a good idea because both the girl and boy have so much simchas hachayim, and they share the same values. And then I realized that they even had complimenting stories. So I decided to redt it.\r\n\r\nBoth the girl\u2019s mother and the boy\u2019s mother liked what they heard. And when they asked for the name they both said the same thing. \u201cOh, a shaddchan redt this already, but I said no.\u201d One side had thought that the other side\u2019s story was too intimidating, and the other side had thought that the hashkafos weren\u2019t compatible. But when they both realized that I knew the other side personally they agreed to look into the shidduch. They both trusted me because I was a family friend, and not a professional shadchan. And now we have a very happy chassan and kallah who were able to find each other only because their shidduch was handled by a friend.\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve seen your ads a few times and was inspired that I could just make suggestions, and keeping making them even if nothing I had ever suggested had worked before. A few months after seeing your ads I made my suggestion even without thinking about your organization. I just did it without looking back!\u200b\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI always felt very connected to this beautiful project, and hoped to one day redd a shidduch that will get added to the 10k count. I am the chosson\u2019s sister and I knew about the girl through a mutual friend. After giving it much thought, and seeing ads in the Mishpacha, I felt I had a responsibility\u00a0 to at least redd it, Baruch Hashem, the shidduch succeeded beyond the getting redd stage and the first date, and they are now happily engaged! I am very excited to share the news with the 10K family, as it has definitely been a push for me to actually redd the shidduch. It should be a zchus for their heilige neshamos, and may they be a meilitz yosher for the new couple and gantz klal yisroel, IYH. Thank you for such a wonderful initiative.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA friend called me one night to ask me about a girl who had been redt to her brother. As we spoke it seemed it wasnt a great match. Since getting married I\u2019ve always tried thinking of shidduchim so I asked my friend what her brother was looking for.\u00a0\r\n\r\nA few weeks later I was by my in-laws for shabbos and my mother-in-law asked my husband if he had any friends for a neighbor\u2019s daughter. She told us what she was looking for and for some reason my friend\u2019s brother popped into my head. Of course I forgot about it after shabbos but a few weeks later it randomly popped into my head. I called my friend. Then called my mother-in-law\u2019s neighbor. And a few weeks later (the night after the 10K event!) I attended their l\u2019chaim!!\r\n\r\nI have been married for just under 3 years now. Ever since I got engaged my husband and I have been trying to match up our friends. I have had so many ideas yet none had ever gotten farther than sending one side a resume. People talk about losing interest or feeling discouraged or uncomfortable, but the way I see it is I BH got married and it\u2019s the most wonderful thing. How can I not try to give that brocha to others? Especially my own friends! Its not personal when someone says no to my ideas; I know I\u2019m not good at this. But its fun to try! And here, such a random pair, and it worked! The feeling you get after seeing the smile and hearing that thank you from a chosson and kallah makes the entire process worth trying to replicate over and over. Walking into a l\u2019chaim and being introduced to everyone as \u201cthis is the shadchan!!\u201d is really the best feeling in the world\r\n\r\nI recently got involved in 10k and helped work on the big event we just had. Being a part of this amazing organization while pursuing a shidduch was so encouraging and exciting! Telling everyone I worked with behind the scenes at 10k that I just added to the first date log, or now the shidduch log, was an amazing feeling. It is a group of wonderful, dedicated individuals who just want to help klal yisroel grow.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a0I met one through my chessed girl in Israel (interestingly enough) and the other one is close to my relatives and thought of the shidduch in passing and mentioned it so I can add one shidduch to this program. I think this is marvelous!\r\n\r\nIt was so beautiful to see everyones smiles. What a zechus it should be for this sweet couple who passed away so suddenly.\r\n\r\nBH I can add one to make the 10k shidduchim!!\r\n\r\nBeautiful!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI am a single girl almost a year back from seminary. My first cousin\u2019s husband had a single brother in shidduchim.\u00a0 I really didn\u2019t know much about him at all- never laid eyes on him, didn\u2019t know which yeshivos he went to, his personality, etc. I just knew that he was similar to his brother who is married to my cousin. One night I was in the car with a friend schmoozing about shidduchim, and we were saying how we need to think of someone for this boy- she knew him also because they are distant family friends. Suddenly, I said, how about this girl we both know? She said, \u201cthat\u2019s a really good idea!!\u201d She encouraged me that it really was a good idea, so I asked my friend to send me her resume, and I called up my cousin and suggested the shidduch. The rest is history! They are so happy!\r\n\r\nI am constantly seeing the ads promoting 10K Batay Yisroel, so I think making shidduchim just\u00a0 became more of a subconscious focus in my mind. I definitely feel like this program had a part in encouraging me to try to think of shidduchim and to actually suggest them.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI always have Yisroel and Elisheva in mind and (almost) always, in this case I did, put in logo when I send resumes.\u00a0\r\n\r\nThis shidduch was an interesting story! I was working on a shidduch for a girl and needed guidance how to navigate it. I turned to a relative of mine, a very wise woman. The shidduch did not work out, and I kept the woman posted on the outcome. About a week later she met me and told me she had a different idea for the girl and asked me to redt it. I wasn\u2019t so comfortable because the boy was younger than the girl and from the little I knew about the boy and the girl, I wasn\u2019t sure it was a match. But this woman was so excited about her idea that I pushed myself to redt it. It took off and boruch Hashem they are engaged!!!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOver the years I have redt shidduchim from time to time. Since this initiative started, I was so inspired that I set up so many people just for Yisroel and Elisheva\u2019s z\u2019chus. So much so, that even my children have gotten involved. My 17 year old daughter was talking to a friend of hers who was describing her brother and my daughter thought that he sounded like a good for her first cousin (my niece). I spoke with the mother of the boy and then served as the go-between and B\u201dH they just got engaged!\r\n\r\nA year ago this same niece redt a friend of her\u2019s from seminary to my son and Boruch Hashem they got married. I am so happy, that now a year later I was able to pay her back by being her shadchan!\r\n\r\nI truly believe that if we all try, then Hashem sends.\u00a0\r\n\r\nMay this website continue to serve as a nechama to both families and we should reach the ten thousand very soon!\r\n\r\nThank you for the z\u2019chus!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI was sitting at a wedding of a close friend. I overheard another friend talking about her single brother, so I asked her to tell me about him. She told me all about him, and I told her that I would find her someone for him because I know tonz of girls that would be a good fit. I tried\u00a0 to think of a few girls but none seemed like they would work. So I called up another friend who is involved in shidduchim and I told her all about my friend\u2019s brother. She said that she has an idea. I told her to send me her resume and I forwarded it to the boy\u2019s side. They were very happy with what they saw! They said yes, and the girl\u2019s mother called me to ask me about the boy that I redd her daughter to. I told her that I don\u2019t really know the boy and I don\u2019t really know her daughter, but I know the boy\u2019s sister and his family, and they are amazing. She found out more information and they said yes too! They then gave it over to a professional shadchan and just last night I got the call that they are getting engaged! Mazel Tov!\r\n\r\nThis shidduch was my first shidduch ever that I attempted! I was inspired from reading all of the stories on this beautiful website and I decided that I really want to try to make a shidduch, or at least redd one. I was so excited to do it in the zechus of 10K Batay Yisroel! I know am super inspired to try to redd as many shidduchim as I could, especially since I saw such siyata dishmaya with this one.\r\nMay the zechusim keep on pouring in!\r\nThank you!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSome years ago I made 5 shidduchim in about 2 years time.\u00a0 Just last week my sixth and last shidduch just made a bar mitzvah for their oldest child and I attended with great joy and had such nachas.\u00a0 Once you make one shidduch it is in your blood and you just keep trying.\u00a0 In the beginning I was trying to redt shidduchim all the time but eventually I became very disillusioned and frustrated because the parties just didn\u2019t respond at all. It\u2019s okay to say \u201d we looked into it but it\u2019s not for us\u201d.\u00a0 No is also an answer. But no responses at all made me give up and I stopped redting. But when I heard Rabbi Shaya Levin ( who is a dear family friend of ours) speak about 10K Batay Yisroel, I decided to put aside all my disappointments and frustrations and started redting shidduchim again as a zechus for Yisroel and Elisheva a\u201dh.\u00a0 And that is how this shidduch came to be, all with the help of Hashem of course.!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI am privileged to be logging a second engagement on this forum. A relative of mine was visiting the States and I reached out to an acquantince who I have been previously in contact regarding shidduchim if she had any ideas for him. She mentioned she did not have ideas for him here, but she did have a friend back in Israel which can be applicable. For no apparent reason, the two never ended up going out, but a few months later while looking through old messages, I came across the girls information and thought of another relative of mine which seemed to be a good fit. B\u201dH they just got engaged!\r\n\r\nAs written in my initial post, I am a single 21 year old girl and this initiative inspired me to get involved in shidduchim. I found that it all came down to NETWORKING and keeping your friends\/neighbors\/relatives etc. in mind. Many doors can be opened by casually gearing the conversation towards shidduchim. I would sit by a wedding and mention someone I know looking for shidduch to the person sitting next to me and suddenly people at the table would pitch in about who they knew in the \u201cmarket\u201d. These conversations are often time very productive and you never know where it may lead. It is my sincerest hope that we can each apply this initiative to our daily lives and may it be a continued Aliyah Neshama for Yisroel and Elisheva.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen I heard about this program I was extremely inspired by it. I really wanted to make a shidduch as a z\u2019chus for Yisrael and Elisheva. I am a regular single 21 year old girl who never made a shidduch before. About 2 months after hearing about this program, my friend and I decided we were going to look for a shidduch for a boy in my neighborhood. We flipped through our high school yearbook and within 5 minutes we had found the perfect girl for him. The only problem was I never had much to do with her in school and rarely saw her after. A few weeks later I \u201chappened\u201d to see her at a wedding. I was scared and felt shy but I took the plunge. I told the girl that I have a boy in my neighborhood who I thought was good for her. We exchanged email addresses and said we would be in touch about this shidduch.\r\n\r\nLong story short, every time one side was available the other side was busy. Sporadically, I would call either the boy or girls side to see if they were available. 5 months after I initially mentioned it, on Chanukah, I decided I would give it one more shot. After calling both sides, I found out they were both available and interested. After getting a yes from both sides, I asked my mother to be the official shadchan and deal with the back and forth.\r\n\r\nLast week, THE COUPLE GOT ENGAGED!!! They are over the moon and keep thanking my friend and I for pursuing the idea. I know it was all siyata diShmaya and it was the inspiration that I got from Yisrael and Elisheva that enabled me to redt this shiduch, thereby adding another engagement to the 10K program.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI B\u201dH am active in shidduchim and whenever I come to Chicago my daughter asks me to meet girls in shidduchim.\u00a0\r\n\r\nA woman came over to my daughter\u2019s house to help out and said I looked very familiar.\u00a0 I did not recognize her but believe it or not we figured out that I was her teacher 35 years ago.\u00a0 Later she mentioned she had a son in shidduchim, that night I met 12 girls, and thought they all sounded good for her son.\r\n\r\nMy daughter suggested I check with someone who knows him\r\nand that person said none of these girls were compatible with him.\u00a0 At that point I decided to meet the son in person, so I asked him to come 8:00 the following night after the Vach Nacht. My daughter then said one more girl who couldn\u2019t make the night before really still wanted to come.\r\n\r\nIt was the night before the bris B\u201dH and hectic, but my daughter urged me to meet her as well at 8:30.\r\n\r\nThe boy came 8:15, and made a wonderful impression, then while I was still talking to the boy, the girl and her mother came. I told them to wait and finished up with the boy and walked him out right\r\n in front of the girl and her mother.\u00a0 Then I met with the girl and saw open Hashgacha Pratis that she\r\n was perfect for this boy. I immediately set up the date and B\u201dH tonight was the LChaim, to my student\u2019s\r\nson\u00a0 from 35 years ago.\r\n\r\nMy daughter in Eretz Yisroel urged me to register my shidduch activity as a zechus for Yisroel and Elisheva, z\u201dl.\r\n\r\nWhen i mentioned it to the almost Kallah that I had registered them, she was visibly moved and was sharing it with the almost Chosson.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRivka has been an anchor in our family. She loves babies and children and basically came over every day to help me when my kids were young and continued the visits as they grew up. She is someone I can count on for a last minute errand or favor.\u00a0\r\n\r\nOne day, I saw Moshe\u2019s resume in my email. I \u201caccidentally\u201d opened it. When I saw the description of what he was looking for, I thought of Rivka immediately.\u00a0\u00a0\r\n\r\nI felt I had a special level of Siyata D\u2019Shmaya with this shidduch.\u00a0 I\u2019ve facilitated several shidduchim in Rivka\u2019s family.\u00a0 I\u2019ve made a bunch in the last few years and have considered putting this \u201chobby\u201d on hold many times.\u00a0 It was \u201cby chance\u201d that I was able to find Rivka the perfect guy for her.\r\n\r\nI have no doubt that Hashem gave me extra shmira because of my mesiras nefesh with Shidduchim.\u00a0 I work on shidduchim constantly and feel overwhelmed, frustrated and burned out.\u00a0 I work full time and have a house full of kids, but I know it\u2019s a special gift I have.\r\n\r\nAn initiative like 10K Batay Yisroel gives chizuk to those of us in the trenches. For every 100 we redt, maybe one will actually work out. Recognizing that is a step in the right direction.\u00a0 It reminds us that nothing goes unnoticed by HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Knowing that I can \u201clog\u201d every idea I have and when it gets to a date and then IY\u201dH to an engagement gives me ongoing chizuk.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEver Since 10K Batay Yisroel Started I have taken working on shidduchim very seriously.\r\n\r\nWhen the 10k project began advertising, there was one specific point that inspired me.\u00a0\r\n\r\nThe fact that so many shidduch happen through friends and family.\u00a0\r\n\r\nI always tried ideas to redt ideas for people but this gave me more motivation because everytime I suggest something I can log it and I feel like I\u2019m part of something bigger.\u00a0\r\n\r\nBeing that I myself am single I know how much it means to me every time a suggestion comes my way and I really try to make a big effort now into redting shidduchim.\u00a0\r\n\r\nMay it be a zechus for Yisroel and Elisheva!\u00a0\r\n\r\nTizku limitzvos\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI 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\u2019re 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 \u2026. long story short \u2013 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 !\r\n\r\nIt helped me make a suggestion although I didn\u2019t 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 !!!\r\n\r\n10K Batay Yisroel\u00a0 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\u2019t 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!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI was in contact with you a couple of weeks ago about a shidduch that my wife and I made. At that vort, my wife thought of a cousin of the kallah for my friend and baruch Hashem they got engaged today.\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned to you in the past, its not easy trying to redt friends and its alot of work. But we felt that as a zchus for the the Kaplan\/Levin\u00a0 families we should push ourselves the extra mile and baruch Hashem we are celebrating our second shidduch in a row!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is actually the first shidduch suggestion that I logged on the 10K Batay Yisroel site.\r\n\r\nThis shidduch is a long story with so many layers of siyata d\u2019shmay that it would take too long to write about it all.\r\n\r\nI just learned one more piece. The Kallah and her mother went to Eretz Yisroel for a visit that had been planned before the shidduch began. They went to the bais hakvaros to daven at the kever of a friend that had passed away a few years prior. The taxi dropped them off and when they got out they found themselves standing at the kever of Yisroel Levin a\u201dh. The mother spent some time davening at his kever before she went up to the kever of her friend.\r\n\r\nSurely Yisroel Levin a\u201dh was looking out for shidduch #31.\r\n\r\nMay this shidduch serve as an Aliyah for his Neshama.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA few weeks ago, I had written on the 10K Batay Yisroel feedback forum stating how this initiative inspired me to go beyond my comfort zone to network.\r\n\r\nAt the time, I mentioned 3 shidduchim which were in the preliminary stages. I now have an update of how each panned out. One suggestion never went on a date (yet!), another never made it past the first date and the third just got engaged on Thursday!\r\n\r\nOn Chol Hamoed Sukkot, I was sitting with my 16 year old brother and decided to broach the subject of shidduchim (thanks to this initiative!). I asked him to tell me about all the guys he knows which are of eligible age. The description of his dorm counselor seemed to match up with a good friend of mine and I decided to redt the shidduch. It took a bit of time to actually get them to go out due to various circumstances, but now the rest is history:)\r\n\r\nAs I initially stated in the feedback forum, this initiative gave me the extra \u201cpush\u201d to network. Sometimes all you need is to pick up the phone, approach someone you are not acquainted with, or just start a dialogue.\u00a0 This can lead to life changing results.\r\n\r\nAt first, I feared some may be insulted if I was off base with my suggestion, but I find that most people are grateful that you are thinking of them.\r\n\r\nAlthough this is the first suggestion which led to an engagement, I hope it will be the first of many and should be an Aliyah Neshama for both Elisheva and Yisroel!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst of all, Tizku L\u2019mitzvos! Your movement is bringing about wonderful things.\r\n\r\nI\u2019m 21 and single and live in a large community. Over the past year, BH a lot of the girls in my neighborhood got married. In shul on Rosh Hashanah, I was thinking that and also thinking how aside from myself there are only 2 other girls my age left b\u201dH. One is a grade-mate of mine, that I did not have much to do with.\r\n\r\nWhen I came home from Shul I was sharing my reflections with my mother. Later at the seudah, my father was saying that a student of his came to wish him a Guht Yahr. He was saying what a nice boy he is and I randomly said- Maybe it\u2019s a good idea for Leah. I do not know either of them really\u2026\r\n\r\nMy father mentioned it to each side and then after Yom Tov, redt it officially. My parents were the go between the whole time and B\u201dH they got engaged last Tuesday.\u00a0\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve been inspired by your movement and the awareness it created and always try to think of shidduchim for the zchus of the Chosson and Kallah. Every time I see your ad I\u2019m reminded\u2026 and when this idea popped into my head I said: why not do it as a z\u2019chus for Yisroel and Elisheva?\u00a0\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s also amazing and a chizzuk for people who are waiting,\u2026 that all you need is the right one to think of the idea. It does not have to be a major shadchan. Anyone can be the one\u2026. and for those who have ideas and are afraid to share them, no-one will slam the phone on a shidduch suggestion so it\u2019s worth it to give it a try!\r\n\r\nThank you for your wonderful work! \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The girl is from Cleveland and the boy is from Monsey.\r\n\r\nI know the feeling of waiting for a shidduch call, being that I have been in shidduchim for a few years. 10k Batay Yisroel made me realize that we are ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !\u00a0 If I cannot redt myself a shidduch, why not redt someone else! It takes one phone call!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the past I tried suggesting shidduchim but I got very burnt out and lost my confidence. But after reading Rabbi Levin\u2019s article I decided that all I have to do is try and the results are not in my hands. Then the next day on Rosh Hashana I was sitting by the window and saw somebody that was in in shidduchim pass and an idea popped into my head. After Yom Tov I called and called and didn\u2019t give up. And last week they got engaged BH!!! I just want to add that these people are not from my circles and after the shidduch came about everyone was shocked that this shidduch came about through someone that wasn\u2019t part of their \u2018circles\u2019.\r\n\r\nSo I realized that no matter what, who or when all you gotta do is TRY!!!!!\r\n\r\nThank you and may it be an alyias neshama! tizku lmitzvoos!!!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI always tried to make shidduchim, but nothing came of it. When I heard about 10K Batay Yisrael, I tried even harder and spent more time. Then my friend made my shidduch and since then my husband and I have been trying to set her up. We thought of an idea, redt it, and now Baruch Hashem they are engaged! \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI had redt a few shidduchim at the beginning of the summer.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen I heard about Yisroel and Elisheva I was taken aback. I was in middle of making food and I sat down. You dont hear of such tragedies. It bothered me for so long. I watched the levaya and couldn\u2019t stop crying. A young boy and girl excited to spend the rest of their lives together and taken away in an instant in such a horrific way. I am so happy to make a shiduch in their zechus! I am a people\u2019s person and always try to set up people but it never happened but BH this shiduch went through!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA few months ago, I heard Yisroel Levin\u2019s father discussing the initiative and wanted to redt a shidduch l\u2019iluy nishmas but none of the singles I knew matched up. 2 months later, my mother asked me if I knew a girl for a co-workers son and I mentioned one of my best friends from seminary. Although they live an 8+ hour drive from each other, both sides were open and willing and Baruch Hashem, about a month and a half after they met, they recently got engaged! I was hesitant to redt it because it was my first time suggesting anything, and to a boy I didnt even know! But chasdei Hashem it all worked out bli ayin hara, and they are happily engaged today \ud83d\ude42 All I can say is, it doesn\u2019t hurt to try and redt something, you never know, you just may be the shaliach they were waiting for \ud83d\ude42\r\n\r\nIt should be an aliyah for the neshamos and a nechama and a zchus for both the Levin and Kaplan families. I hope they can continue to see much nachas from this initiative.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI heard about a shidduch being redt and I thought it was a great idea! I wasn\u2019t sure it was going to go through, so I spoke to both the boy\u2019s and girl\u2019s side and pushed the idea. BH I knew both sides well so I was able to be of help. The couple just got engaged:)\r\n\r\nI have always wanted to make a shidduch and have tried many times. Once I heard about the 10k project, I was so excited!! I wanted to be involved and complete shidduchim l\u2019iyluy nishmas the special couple. This is such a beautiful zchus, and the more klal yisroel tries, the more hishtadlus and tefillos we put in, the more shidduchim can be made.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLiba Levin was my counselor in Camp BY many years ago. I am not related to her but I always shared short warm conversations when I bumped into her in Yeled or in Boro Park. My son went to Camp Aguda and knew Yisroel. He came from the levaya on chol hamoed and repeated all that was said.\r\n\r\nI was inspired to try even harder despite the fact that I\u2019ve been suggesting shidduchim for over ten years and have BH been successful.\r\n\r\nThis new shidduch is young. She graduated BYHS where she was one of my favorite students and just returned from Hadar Seminary. He is a 20 year old chassidish boy who is the son of a dear friend.\r\n\r\nI hope to be a shaliach for many more shidduchim with Hashem\u2019s help.\r\n\r\nWhat you have started is monumental. I posted a comment on the website when you started it asking Hashem to open up minds to say yes. He should takeh hear the pleas for shidduchim bekorov!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI do not know Rabbi and Mrs. Levin personally.\r\n\r\nHowever our children\u2019s lives have crossed paths in many different ways.\r\n\r\nI began to get involved in redting shidduchim about 12 years ago. B\u201dH, B\u201dH I have been granted the zechus of redting thousands of shidduchim and successfully being the shaliach for over 100 couples. This project that the Levins have launched has really touched on a much needed sensitivity to the graveness of the situation out there. Yes, we must all collectively try and think of shidduchim for everyone we know\u2026.and if we have an idea and can\u2019t act on it for whatever reason.. Please give it to someone who can.\r\n\r\nAfter this tragedy, I was approached by an askan in Flatbush asking me to arrange a speed dating in his home in Flatbush. It was a busy time\u2026 around lag baomer\u2026and I said as much as I would love to, I feel I have too much on my plate now\u2026.maybe\u00a0 in a few weeks\u2026.\r\n\r\nThen I saw an email about the 10k Batay Yisroel initiative\u2026 and I said to myself\u2026 Who am I to say I\u2019m too busy? What can be more important?\r\n\r\nWith the help of HKB\u201dH we pulled off a beautiful event.\r\n\r\nAt the event itself I thought of Yisroel and Elisheva and the legacy they left behind.\r\n\r\nAs a result of this successful event\u2026 There are still couples dating and there have been TWO BEAUTIFUL AMAZING SHIDDUCHIM THAT ARE GETTING MARRIED AFTER YOM TOV.\r\n\r\nYisroel and Elisheva were definitely the impetus for this amazing event that will IY\u201dH create binyanei adey ad.\u00a0\r\n\r\nMay this be a comfort to both families.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s been 10 years since my first and only successful shidduch.\u00a0 After Pesach I was inspired to start trying again and they just got engaged!\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cI made my brother\u2019s shidduch 10 years ago to my co-worker, and tried a few after that.\u00a0 After one couple went out a few times and it fell apart I stopped; I worried that maybe as an inexperienced shadchan I didn\u2019t have the experience needed to facilitate shidduchim.\u00a0\r\n\r\nAfter you publicized your campaign, I was inspired to start again. My mother davens in the Levin\u2019s shul and we very touched by the tragedy and follow up campaign.\u00a0 The girl is my niece and I redt to her my neighbor\u2019s son. The boy was in the freezer so we needed to wait, but once he was able to date it went very quickly B\u201dH.\r\n\r\nI am inspired to try to redt more; though I haven\u2019t had any good ideas since then, I will keep thinking\u2026\r\n\r\nMay it be an aliyah for their neshamos.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNo, I am not a shadchan but have made my first shidduch this past week and have just started less than two months ago. How is this possible when so many have set up so many dates but year after year they haven\u2019t set up couples who have gotten married??\u00a0 I hope my story inspires others to take action when it comes to setting people up so we get more simchos, more often!\r\n\r\nI know the Kaplan family and coming back from the levaya I knew I had to take action and change something in Yisroel Levin and Elisheva Kaplan\u2019s memory. As a fashion blogger, I seized the opportunity to announce on my Insta story @styledbyfreidy that I will be taking resumes of anyone currently looking for a shidduch (I have a great network of girls it doesn\u2019t hurt to reach out to them)! My only condition was that 1. I don\u2019t do blind dates..you\u2019re welcome 2. I get an answer within 3 days or else I move on to the next (I don\u2019t want either party waiting on each other..it ain\u2019t good manners)\r\n\r\nOne of my followers sent in her resume and pic and I thought of a guy who may be perfect for her but I wasn\u2019t sure if he started dating. Rather, then wait the next two weeks to bring it up, that night I asked the mother if he started dating\u2026.she replied, he just started. Yassss, I was in. I sent her the girl\u2019s resume and got an answer then ran to to the girl and got an answer within the week the date was set.\r\n\r\nWithin, two months they got engaged!\r\n\r\nBefore the tragedy, I would have thought I couldn\u2019t make a difference and would have procrastinated. This time, I went all out and made the difference. You don\u2019t have to be a shadchan to set people up.\r\n\r\nYou just have to CARE! Next time you have a good idea (don\u2019t just set people up just because..it can lead to burn out which we don\u2019t want) act on it, send the info, and be there when both parties need you for any other info\u2026and if all is meant to be\u2026you can too set up your first couple! Our destines lie in the hands of the unity of our people.\r\n\r\nEveryone says it\u2019s too personal to get involved when it comes to shidduchim. To them I say, get personal and be involved in more shidduchim. I did and I will never regret it. I never met the girl until I did at their L\u2019chaim!\r\n\r\nThere is no other feeling like bringing two people together. I know because I just did and it\u2019s an amazing feeling that I can\u2019t put into words. I tear up thinking about it. My life,the boy\u2019s life and the girl\u2019s life is changed forever\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs soon as I heard about this project, I really wanted to try to make suggestions. I have tried in the past, but I never even really got anyone to date. I know some of the Levin siblings, and I really wanted to do something as a zechus. The way this shidduch happened was that my good friend was asking me if I know anyone for her brother in law, and from what she said about him, it sounded like a good match for my sister. We both felt funny suggesting it, since I didn\u2019t know they boy and she didn\u2019t know the girl, but we pushed ourselves to suggest it to both sides, and now, Boruch Hashem, they are engaged.
