A friend called me one night to ask me about a girl who had been <\/b>redt<\/i><\/b> to her brother. As we spoke it seemed it wasnt a great match. Since getting married I\u2019ve always tried thinking of <\/b>shidduchim<\/i><\/b> so I asked my friend what her brother was looking for.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
A few weeks later I was by my in-laws for <\/b>shabbos<\/i><\/b> 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 <\/b>shabbos<\/i><\/b> 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 <\/b>l\u2019chaim<\/i><\/b>!!<\/b><\/p>\n
I 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 <\/b>brocha<\/i><\/b> 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 <\/b>chosson<\/i><\/b> and <\/b>kallah<\/i><\/b> makes the entire process worth trying to replicate over and over. Walking into a <\/b>l\u2019chaim<\/i><\/b> and being introduced to everyone as \u201cthis is the shadchan!!\u201d is really the best feeling in the world<\/b><\/p>\n
I 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 <\/b>shidduch<\/i><\/b> 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 <\/b>shidduch<\/i><\/b> log, was an amazing feeling. It is a group of wonderful, dedicated individuals who just want to help <\/b>klal yisroel<\/i><\/b> grow.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
