If Tzippi doesnt mean it, I do.
Community standards means. $10, $50 or zero. It means paying the shadchan nd what awhen the community deems it appropriate, not the shadchan, or some organization. If the community feels they do not want to play by the rules of the shadchan or their union, perhaps the shadchan should pick up and move to another community. It works both ways. If someone wants the services provided by shadchan, they play by the shadchans rules. If the shadchan wants clients the shadchan has to play by the rules of the clients. In a free market the 2 sides will both bend a little and a workable solution will be found.
