Interestingly enough, hundreds of close in age shidduchim were made, many that never would have happened.
Where do you get the right to make such a brazen statement? How do you know that many of these hundreds are a direct result of this initiative? Did the shadchanim admit to it? Did the boy/girl? Or are you just basing this statement on the number of people trying to collect their money?
Additionally, I fear that the NASI initiative causes some girls to be forgotten. Why should I set up “Leah” now if in a few more months she will be old enough to qualify for the funds offered by the NASI project?
I think what the NASI project does accomplish is that it gives added incentive to the shadchanim not to “forget” about the older girls.
By the way, its been obvious from these posts that you yourself are involved in some way shape or form with the NASI project.
