A New Approach to Address the Shidduch Crises

[COMMUNICATED] Every day, Jewish singles around the world search for their perfect matches. On Tu B’Shvat, Wednesday, January 31, 2018, hundreds of lomdim will embark on a 24-hour quest to complete shas for the zchus of helping Klal Yisroel’s singles find their basherts.

Founded by the Chicago Chesed Fund under the leadership of HaRav Shmuel Fuerst, Shas For Shidduchim gives individuals an opportunity to sponsor a daf for $100 on behalf of finding a shidduch for one’s self, friend or family member. The national campaign invites and encourages shidduch-seekers from around the country to join in the day’s zchusim.

All proceeds will be donated exclusively for the mitzvah of hachnosas kallah, helping ease the financial burden for kallahs.

The power of Limud HaTorah and the auspicious day of Tu B’Shvat offers many zchusim for singles looking to find their perfect match. Tefilas and resources for this can be found on ShasForShidduchim.org, including endorsement from the Ben Ish Chai.

What greater zchus is there than Limud HaTorah and to utilize its powers to help singles find shidduchim,” said HaRav Shmuel Fuerst, founder of ShasForShidduchim and the Chicago Chesed Fund.

  1. We don’t tell the bochurim to stay home and say some tehlim and let hashem take care of the shidduch. They do their hishtadlus and go out on a date! We must do our hishtadlus to close the age gap so that there aren’t hundreds of girls that can’t possibly find a zivug al pi derech hateva as has been well documented. HaShem has no limitation but He wants us to do our hishtadlus and then he helps. Hopefully in the sechirus of the learning HaShem will help us do our hishtadlus so that all bnos Yisroel will be able to build their Bayis neeman biyisroel.

  2. Theres IS a crisis. There is something called an “Eis Tzarah” and we must daven. Because Hshem is in control.
    Eis Tzarah is a crisis. Saying theres a crisis is NOT a stirah to Hshem being in control. Downplaying this crisid, which ia a painful situation for many of our brethren, is a potch ihn Ponim.

  3. There may or may not be a crisis; you’d have to crunch the numbers to know.
    But there’s nothing wrong with calling a crisis a crisis. Hashem is in charge and can create a “crisis” situation for whatever reasons, perhaps to evoke tefilos. He who creates it can also solve it; “baruch gozer umkayem.”
    So crisis? I don’t know. But it’s not a contradiction to believing that Hashem is in complete control.
