New Book Review: The Shidduch Crisis

The Shidduch Crisis: Causes and Cures by Michael J. Salamon

A must-read for singles, parents of singles and shadchanim, The Shidduch Crisis explores in-depth the reasons the “singles problem” has gotten so out of control in the past generation or so. The book talks about a value system gone horribly wrong in some Orthodox communities and overprotection of children leading to more divorces than ever, but also gives suggestions how dating in the religious world can get back on track. For those people who choose to ignore the advice given in the book, the appendix even includes the “right” answers to all the ridiculous questions shadchanim ask these days! Recommended for libraries with an Orthodox readership.
