Reply To: J'accuse NASI

Why no study? 1) Nobody who is willing to pay thinks it’s necessary

This is the old mantra. A million dollars for solutions but not one cent for figuring out the problem. I think that’s how the saying goes?

2) Too hard to get a precise number, especially since it’s hard to precisely define what is the yeshivish community that this affects.

Did they try? Did they hire consultants to figure it out? Did they try for a second best solution? How about pick 30 yeshivish boys schools and 30 yeshivish girls schools from the elementary school classes graduating in the 90’s and track them? That wouldn’t control for unequal numbers coming in, but would get us some info at least.

How about take every high school in lakewood from the 90’s? That would get us somewhere.

We don’t have a shred of evidence. Even a box of spaghetti has more info relevant to shidduch crisis than 500 weeks of NASI ads in the yated.
