Star-K Shidduch Program Up“date”

Keep thinking of those shidduchim! Star-K’s shadchan incentive program has been renewed until Chanukah 5768, with a cash “gift” of $2,500 paid, on top of the customary shadchanus, for the successful matches made for Baltimore’s Orthodox women. To date (pun intended!), Star-K has awarded a sizeable sum to the shadchanim of nearly 50 successful shidduchim made since the program started two years ago. For program rules, call the Star-K office at 410-484-4110 ext. 217 or visit Star-K Online here and click on Programs/Shidduch Incentive Program/ “Striking Matches: Star-K Partnering with Shadchanim”.
