I was divorced (2nd time) and ready to head back to Brooklyn...enough with Florida, I said! I had a ticket to NY for the end of the school year (as a teacher, I had to be responsible and stay until the last day of school) A shadchan friend of mine recommended that I look on JWed, but I said, "No way! Not chassidishe enough for me! He insisted,and I saw they were have a special....3 months for $29.95, so figured, "why not?" Well, an "interesting bunch of men" (that's as polite as I could be) contacted me..but this guy...well, I wished him well, told him he wasn't frum enough for me...but Hashem has his ways.....we recontacted each other after a couple of months, I called that very same shadchan who told me to look on JWed, and asked him to "take over the case" The rest, as they say, is history! Now, as you can see...he's got the requisite long grey beard, learns, chassidus, goes on mivtzoyim......the works! Now who's frummer??? Neither one, we're just the perfect match! Hashem is the grand matchmaker, but you've got to avail yourself of all of His helpers, and sometimes it's a website! Oh, and that plane ticket I had for New York?? I used it to get engaged...ta da! Happy ending, or really happy beginning to the rest of our lives together....thank you, JWed (and we all know that's "Baruch Hashem")
