After a delay due to hurricane Sandy, the YUConnects along with Yeshiva University's Center for the Jewish Future have published a collection of Divrei Torah and professional insights about dating and marriage that are authored by numerous well-respected Roshei Yeshiva, rabbeim, teachers, doctors and professionals.
I am a big of the To-Go booklets of Divrei Torah, and always make sure a batch gets delivered to our shul. If you're lucky, your congregation will have these available shortly, but if they run out or happened to not have ordered any, all the articles are available online to download for free.
Here are the various different articles and their authors:
- Divrei Bracha from Rabbi Hershel Schachter

DeleteHowever, your thanks really go to the YUTorah.org, since I copy and pasted the links found on their page. I figure that any means to make it easier to disseminate Divrei Torah is a good thing.
Enjoy the Divrei Torah!
