Reply To: I feel like I had some part in this Shidduch….

I know of a case, where a family friend mentioned a Shidduch and clearly said she doesnt want to be the Shadchan. They got a Shadchan, the couple got engaged and paid the Shadchan. The family friend didnt expect a thing, she wasnt a professional. Ten years later the couple was childless and went from one Rov to another. One Rov asked if everyone involved in their Shidduch was taken care of. The couple explained. The Rov said to give something nice to the friend, now ten years later. The couple had a baby within the year.

Its a VERY good friend of mine this happened to. In this case the friend had absolutely no hard feelings, no expectations, and somehow when she was paid they had a baby.

Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not!
