Most people agree that there is a major shidduch challenge in Lubavitch, and that unfortunately it's only getting worse. However, although many ideas have been suggested, no tachlis has come out of all this yet.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.
Please feel free to comment and add any solutions you think may be helpful. I believe if we are to fix the issue, all of Lubavitch has to come together to do it, from all the factions, geographical locations, etc. Achdus is the only way! Besuros tovos!
