hearing so many intelligent bnei Torah talk with such fear about these shidduch and age gap crises makes me so sad. I (and mechanchim I’ve spoken to) see it as one of our greatest displays of a lacking of emunah and awareness of Gd among torah true yidden. (the other is money related). I don’t care if you agree or not, your lack of ability to recognize it and your fight to disagree with it is, in this view just more of the same. It is truly heartbreaking and as this dor is suffering from the nisayon of emuna (according to some) it speaks to how far we have left to go.
