Monthly Insight
Special Contributor: Rabbi Dovid M. Cohen of the Orthodox Union
Dating References: What They Say About You
At the turn of the century, I worked as a lawyer at the Manhattan firm of Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett. The etiquette of white shoe law firm culture in those days was genteel and giving a good reference when someone moved on (even under less than ideal terms) was considered sacrosanct. However, one candidate was particularly mediocre and his managing partner had major hesitations. The partner recommending decided to say to the prospective employer, "You'd be lucky to get him to work for you." On it's face, he was recommending him nicely. If you looked deeper, he was saying the guy is a "lazy good for nothing" and you'd be lucky to get any productivity out of him!
References are essential in many contexts, including the world of shidduchim and religious dating. I recently received a call to be a reference about a gentleman that used to be a congregant in my former shul. Ironically, the caller must have had an old resume, as I was sure this guy wouldn't currently put me down as a reference for him. I just commented that we had lost touch and I couldn't really say much about him at present. In truth, I had much to say, but decided to spare this poor fellow. I was also afraid that I might not be such an objective observer as I had some tense moments with him. Apparently, he hadn't upgraded his shidduch resume in some time and was lucky to dodge this bullet.
