Dr. Leah Hakimian currently researches the ques-tion: How do Jewish couples meet and marry? In the 90’s she founded two nonprofit Jewish match-making programs, and continues to champion the role of community in helping singles meet. She writes on a volunteer basis to inspire her readers and to encourage them to keep their “antennae up.” She resides in Jerusalem and Great Neck, New York. HaChodesh now has the privelege of sharing her stories with you.
“Look for guys by following your hobbies,” suggests wikiHow. “Ask yourself what you really love to do.” Allison Dwyer, 26, was doing what she really loved – cheering for the track team of her alma mater, Emory University. Michael (Mike) Rothbart, 29, was at the Armory Track and Field Center for the same reason. “No way was I there to look for guys,” insists Allison.
Michael continues: “We were lucky that a mutual friend from Emory, Rebecca, was at the same place at the same time.” Some might call it “bashert” (meant to be). Some might call it “chance.” Professor Albert Bandera, a Stanford University psychologist, has written: “Chance encounters play a promi-nent role in shaping the course of human lives.” And indeed, two lives were changed when Rebecca said to Allison: “Come and meet Mike.”
