Choose Raffle type of Chanukah

Feeling lonely, especially during festive gatherings like Chanukah, can be even more difficult for single individuals. In a room full of families, newlyweds, and children, the absence of a partner can feel particularly painful. For someone like Chaya, who has experienced the loneliness of attending weddings and family events as a single person, Chanukah gatherings can highlight the disparity between her life and the lives of others. But rather than dwelling on this isolation, there's an opportunity to turn these moments into something positive. This Chanukah, a new initiative encourages people to take small steps to help singles by sparking shidduch discussions at gatherings, whether it's a casual mention of a potential match or simply asking others to think about suitable suggestions.

The idea is that one conversation can lead to a network of connections, exponentially increasing the chances of finding a match. By getting people involved in discussing shidduchim at Chanukah parties, the number of potential matches grows significantly. With a broad effort from individuals across communities, one conversation can lead to thousands of new discussions. For example, ten people in 85 shuls could lead to 25,500 conversations about shidduchim. This is not just about the results, but about making the effort to create these connections. Participants who raise the topic of shidduchim at Chanukah gatherings will be entered into a raffle, with the possibility of winning cash prizes, all while contributing to a larger effort to help singles find their matches.
