In this article, I’ll try to outline what I believe are the major causes of the shidduch challenge as well as propose some potential solutions. My goal is that something concrete should come out of all our kvetching, as in the end, what we all want is to end this frustrating and sad issue ASAP.

He isn’t a rabbi in the typical sense of the word, but David Lazerson is nevertheless known as the “Rappin’ Reggae Rabbi.”
Why?
Because since the 1970s, he’s developed a reputation as an internationally-celebrated musician and educator acclaimed for his work with special needs students in gritty, inner-city schools.
