With the motto “Let’s help each other.”, we’ve been meeting once or twice monthly for over one year. We meet in Flatbush, at Bais Menachem Mendel at 1000 East 17th St, and have developed a lively cameraderie. Mostly, ladies come and present someone single – sometimes their own child. Women have presented their siblings, their Shabbos guests, even themselves! Numerous professional shadchanim. have visited, as have a mashpiah presenting her mushpa, one mother who drove 4 hours from out-of-state to present her children, and visitors from California, Montreal, and Israel !
During the meetings, ladies present a profile of a single. General appearance, background information, style of religiosity and personality attributes are described. Other participants ask questions to clarify what the single is about or is seeking. Names of singles are not used.
