Shidduch
A Shidduch is a traditional matchmaking system used primarily in the Jewish community to help individuals find a suitable marriage partner. This process often involves families, friends, or professional matchmakers who consider various factors such as religious observance, values, and personal backgrounds to suggest potential matches.
In a Shidduch, the couple typically meets for a series of dates, often with the guidance of their families. The goal is to assess compatibility and determine if they wish to pursue a long-term relationship leading to marriage. This approach emphasizes community involvement and shared values in the matchmaking process.
