Call until 10:00 pm
Quote Boneh Bayis: "There is good news regarding shidduchim! Baruch Hashem, much attention has been given to shidduchim lately. However, a very important group of people has not been sufficiently addressed. I am referring to many excellent frum boys and girls who have a medical issue or some physical disability. This includes medical issues that are in the past and conditions that are current. These young people are often very well adjusted, have excellent middos, and a tremendous sensitivity and understanding about life."
"With the haskama and brachos of Gedolei Yisrael, Boneh Bayis has been organized to fill this need. All calls and all information are strictly confidential. The goals are to find a shidduch for everyone, using a personal touch, and to treat each person with sensitivity and compassion. A central telephone number was created for people to call, which will, iy”H, facilitate making appropriate matches. The number to call for Boneh Bayis Shidduchim is 718-438-1639."
