The Shidduch Crisis
Few topics in contemporary Orthodoxy evoke as much passion and discussion as that of shidduchim and marriage. Articles and advice columns abound regarding whether there is a shidduch crisis; whether young people are prepared for marriage; whether the shidduch scene reflects genuine or distorted Jewish values. In a can't-miss panel discussion at the BAYT in Toronto, Torah in Motion explores the world of shidduchim, marriage and the pressure of relationships in the frum world today. Moderated by Dr. Elliott Malamet.
