Revelations of a Burnt- Out Shadchan Its so hard to please anyone these days!!! Here is a partial list of my clients .... I couldnt even get them one date, and that is why I am finally quitting and going into the pickle business. Avraham Avinu: How can you recommend him to my daughter? Wasnt he involved in a family feud with his father over some idols? Then he left home without a GPS or a viable business plan! Yitzchak Avinu: His brother is an Arab terrorist!!! Rivka Imeinu: Sorry, she seems nice but did you hear about her mishpuche??? Her fathers a murderer and her brothers a ponzi scam artist... Yaakov Avinu: Okay, he sits and learns all day... but his brother is a no-goodnik. And anyway, we heard he has a limp..... . Leah Imeinu: Her fathers a con artist, and she has ophtalmological problems. Maybe its genetic? Moshe Rabbeinu: Are you kidding? His parents are divorced! And worse.. they remarried! And we hear hes in speech therapy.... King David: How dare you suggest him to our yichusdike family? Our neighbor Yenti told us that his great-grandmother was a giyoret!!! Chava: Do you know anything about her family? We never heard of them. No one knows where she came from and she cant come up with any referrals! Please chevra, judge the person for him/herself - youre going to marry the person, not the family. Youre getting married to build your home, not to please your neighbors. And finally, remember that if you are in this world, you are not perfect and neither is your spouse. (Translated loosely from Arutz Sheva)
