Did Jewish Media Create the Shidduch Crisis?

In this riveting episode, Rabbi Joey Haber sits down with Nachi Gordon for an unfiltered, thought-provoking conversation that tackles some of the most pressing—and often taboo—questions in the Jewish world today.

What does it really mean to live a Torah life in a world obsessed with status? How can we tell the difference between true mitzvah and materialism? Are we setting up our youth for failure by defining success through narrow expectations—like the 3-to-5-year Kollel rule?

From the Syrian and Ashkenazi community dynamics to financial pressures, lavish weddings, and the emotional toll of the shidduch process, Rabbi Haber addresses it all—with clarity, humility, and refreshing honesty.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a mirror for our values and a wake-up call for our assumptions.
