"We worked with Chanale on a shidduch for our children she was the best! She has the most smiley attitude coupled with  a keen perception of what’s needed & how to get it done.   Thank you, Chanale! "

"Chanale is a friend of mine from my Seattle days who introduced me to my wife.  She has a real gift for working with people to discover inner conversations that people sometimes hide from themselves.  And she is able to do it in a way that doesn’t make it too scary as the conversations come out. "

"I met Chanale more than ten years ago, before she was married.  She was a moving force in our community to get Jewish singles together for enjoyable times.    Her goal seemed to be to make sure singles weren't lonely on Shabbos and the holidays.  She understood that there's only so many times you want to ask to join the married neighbors down the block.  And then, when we did get together, you could rest assured that Chanale made everyone feel welcome.  

Chanale is warm beyond belief, ebullient and smart.  Also, you should know, Chanale is direct -- she'll get right down to it; what do you want?  what can you compromise on and what not, etc.  She'll address your worries about the process, or your concerns about a particular match, or what photos / comments serve you well, etc.  She's not shy about this, but still never harsh.   She's perceptive and helpful in every conversation I had with her as a shidduch coach/shadchanit.  Chanale knows that you can hit age  50, 60, 70,  and for whatever reason, be alone but still very much want to find your basherte.  She understands that this can be difficult; I mean really, who wants to be 'dating' in late middle age??  You know how some people who have been 'married from birth,' more or less, think that somehow you haven't tried hard enough, or you were too focused on your career, or you're too this or that.  That if only you would change, then your match would magically appear. 

Chanale, who married relatively late in life, understands that such judgments are unfair and perhaps, well, a little too judgmental; that everyone's life is complicated, and we're each on a path, and maybe Hashem had something else in mind for you than an early and long marriage.  

Most important, I believe Chanale is doing this from her heart; she really wants to see matches are made, to help make individuals happy, and to strengthen Am Yisroel".
