yungerman1 and gavra_at_work:
if i’m mistaking please correct me, but i believe that rabbeim get paid for their time – not for the teaching.
these people making shidduchim only get paid if they end up making a shidduch that works.
rabbeim obviously (hopefully) teach the children from love of Torah and their students. if they waste a day which could have been used to teach Torah, they still put in a day at work. however, the shadchanim are basically being bribed to find these girls shidduchim.
(i’m not sure if i am making myself clear, but this was the best way i could think of formulating my thoughts. sorry if you don’t understand.)
IF I AM MISTAKING, PLEASE CORRECT ME.
