In this story, Rabbi Seltzer stated that “Rav Chaim was not a shadchan,” and was shocked to hear from “Rafael” that “Rav Chaim was my shadchan.”
But in his amazing work, Rav Chaim, published by ArtScroll Mesorah Publications, Rav Naftali Weinberger writes that Rav Chaim and his Rebbetzin made more than 20 shidduchim.
