Reply To: Why R' Rechnitz is incorrect

Also, I wouldn’t necessarily expect a bima klop, because then you’d get bochurim who aren’t ready yet (l’shitaseinu) starting to go out. Maybe RY are already privately encouraging guys to start earlier.

Gimme break. I’m sure they roshei yeshiva can phrase it in a way that applies only to a majority and invite the minority to come talk to them. The same way they do when they talk about anything else under the sun.

And it isn’t happening privately. We’d have heard of it.

Popa, I don’t need hard data. I have no doubt that there’s a growing population and an age gap (typically).

Sorry, that doesn’t cut it for me. There are also more boys born than girls. And so many other factors at play. I need more than a sevara before making a change like this.
