Gotta give credit where its due…. at least one of Rechnitz’s “steps” is very worthwhile- I call attention to #2. Full time shadchanim to locate and match older girls with “Bachelors who didn’t necessarily learn in those yeshivos that girls imagine their husbands to have learned in”.
Kudos.
This addresses a huge problem in our community which I believe has an enormous hand in the shidduch crisis, namely the disappearing middle class boy. Admittedly this Step does nothing to fix the problem itself (which is the pressure forcing all boys to be bnei yeshiva full time or be relegated as bums or even otd) but by fixing the girls’ attitude we can get closer to dealing with the real issue. A girl who watches her prime years pass by because she only considers Lakewood and no college has herself to blame. If the girls can be taught the value of the more worldly boys then those boys wont have to hide. If we as a society can learn to value them then hopefully we can hold on to more of them and even out the numbers gap.
