miritchka:
Just so we are clear. no money is PAID to nasi. NASI hasn’t pocketed a penny. Not a grush not a dime from any of the participnats in the program.
NOTHING
NADA
ZILCH
are we CLEAR on this??????? because the comment you make is not so clear.
NASI simply holds the money on behalf of the participants until they walk down the ailse. The participants can get their money back at any time they want out.
NASI did raise outside funds to cover the costs of getting the program up and running, but not a penny from any participant becaseu no one in the program will spend a cent until after they walk down the aisle (and yes at that time imy”h -in some cases- NASI will pocket the grand total of $500).
If you feel you have a better, more effetive way of having 100 shadchanim from across the coutnry sign up and look to work on behlaf of the the participants (and your post clearly indicates that you have the plan in mind) BY ALL MEANS GO FOR IT!!!!!!!
and i will wish you the greatest hatzlacha.
