The Shidduch Crisis Summary

The Shidduch Crisis: Causes and Cures by Michael J. Salamon, PhD

Examining the very real difficulties faced by the dating public in the modern Orthodox world, this study looks at the increase in divorce rates and eating disorders, complaints regarding a shortage of men, and the move away from socializing activities to the extensive use of third-party matchmakers. The book argues that many matches are based on availability rather than compatibility, and on a host of superficial criteria that have little relevance to the factors that make a marriage truly successful. Citing relevant data from the fields of psychology, sociology, and neurology, and drawing on anecdotes from a wide range of people, well-known psychologist and lecturer Dr. Michael Salamon provides guidelines to alleviate this crisis.

The Shidduch Crisis Reviews

Dr. Michael Salamon has written a book which touches on very important issues relating to the Jewish family. These subjects must be addressed by the community, schools, the Rabbinate, and the family. Dr. Salamon's work makes an important contribution to the discussion which must take place. I congratulate him for his insight and hope that his book will be a catalyst for more thoughtprovoking contributions on raising our children in a very challenging world. --Rabbi Hershel Billet
[...] I would highly recommend this very important book to rabbbanim, mchanchim, parents and those of our children in the Parsha. This books analzyes where we have collectively erred in this process as a community, educators and parents. --Steve Brizel, Beyond BT blog
Using a combination of common sense and solid psychological research, Dr. Salamon's recommendations regarding what is really predictive of success in marriage are enlightening and invaluable to all who are involved in making what is most likely one of life's most important decisions. I recommend this book highly to those getting ready to date, their parents, and those involved in making shidduchim. --Professor David Pelcovitz, Gwendolyn and Joseph Straus Chair in Psychology and Jewish Education, Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education at Yeshiva University
