In reply to The job of a shadchan. There's no need to involve Shadchonim in this. It isn't their job. If someone has two jobs- be it Shadchan and dating coach, or electrician and dating coach- everything stated about dating coaches would apply.

In reply to It's an issue. What the commentator above is referring to is a phenomenon that the shadchan is not only a facilitator, rather he/she acts as a dating coach throughout the process. While this maybe be helpful in certain cases with certain limitations, this is not the way forward. There is a letter of the Rebbe where it is written that the job of a shadchan is to put people together. If shadchonim would just put people together, then there wouldn’t be a question. However, if shadchonim act like dating coaches, then they belong in that same category of those that “need a hechsher”

In reply to It's an issue. Please read the comment again. Certain shadchonim are pushing the modern viewpoint.

In reply to Tv. How can we know who they are? They don't talk much in the first place; let alone expound on their viewpoints and methods.

I would add Shadchanim to the list. There’s a growing phenomenon in our community of dating like the modern orthodox. Not going to be specific but in general the idea that the dating is to develop a relationship…, as apposed to it being to see whether you are happy to buid a home together with this person. I realized recently that there are some Shadchonim that push this way of dating and encourage it. I learnt it is important to make sure a Shadchan has a similar view to you as what dating is about.

How is one to know which music is in fact non-Jewish tunes with Jewish words? I avoid such music when I know about it, but it’s not generally publicized information.
