JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In a move to try and solve the shidduch crisis in Chasidic yeshivos in Israel, a benefactor of the Orayso yeshiva in Jerusalem opened a special office adjacent to the yeshiva and is offering $5000 dollars to every shadchan who succeeds in making a shidduch for chasidic boys over the age of 22.

The rosh yeshiva of Orayso, Rabbi Dovid Shaffer, announced the initiative at a special meeting to open the Bayis Neeman office.

The meeting was attended by NY Philanthropist, and Satmar Chusid Lipa Friedman, who has offered to pay the shadchanus fee for shadchanim who successfully close shidduchim for those aged over 22.

The special project involves the establishment of the office which will be used all day by different shadchanim who will seek to find the right shidduchim for bochurim from the yeshiva and other chasidic yeshivos.

After numerous preparations the new project is set to start. Friedman has dedicated the project in memory of the Moroccan Tzadik Rabbi Amram Ben Diwan, who is buried in Morocco and whose tomb is considered a place for prayer and salvation for those who have not found their soulmate.

They are just raising the price of shadchunis, it’s going to break the bank for many who cannot afford.

Now they are covering it, once it becomes the norm, the shadchunim will demand the same from everyone.

Money isn’t the issue it’s the way people deal with a שדכן these days. They make him feel like a שמאטע

What they fail to understand similar to the non chasidic issue is that if there is an issue it is because there is an uneven amount of boys and girls in the parsha. When supply and demand are equal everyone must negotiate and settle as necessary. It is only when one side had an advantage that all these problems come. So therefore you need to address the root cause of the issue. Money cannot create people that don’t exist. And just curious why do you think the chasidic and non chasidic populations have opposite issues if you dont believe in the age differential explanation? This is actually incontrovertible proof to everything that has been explained already but a few people fail to want to accept as fact.

The Shadchan gets $5,000.
The girl gets a life of poverty & hardship.
Sounds like a good deal.
