    Seems the Eishes Lapidus initiative that granted a shadchan compensation for setting up a girl 25 or older to a guy of the same age or younger has been shut down, per their website.

    Does anybody have any further details about why this happened, and if it’s permanent?

    Did you contact them?

    I could guess why it closed, but it’s probably better to contact them directly.

    DY: What’s your guess? They ran out of money? People were abusing the system?

    I assume it is because they ran out of money. I assume you are also not a professional Shadchan, if you know of people that you think would be a match than contact their parents, they will probably pay if it works out probably not as much but at least it something (which is better than nothing).

    I would guess for the same reason NASI closed theirs – people abused the system by not paying shadchanim.

    I might very well be wrong. Why don’t you ask them?

    DY: Didn’t NASI require a prepayment by the girl’s family before shidduchim were redt (so how would they not pay?), or am I mixing it up with another shidduch program?

    Two different programs.

    "…To date there have been 72 Shidduchim…" -NASI ad

    Apparently there have been at least three different programs, besides for the general awareness campaign.

    I don’t think Rechnitz ran out of money…

    OTOH, $10,000 is a lot more than the typical $2-3k total shadchanus so if there was abuse, if it led to many shidduchim, why would they shut it down?

    So, on second thought, it probably just wasn’t very successful.
