Reply To: The AZ thread – discuss the shidduch “age gap”

I truly believe that people such as AZ, AZOI.IS, lkwdfellow, and others shouting from the rooftops mean well. I believe that they are 100% convinced that they are proposing an ideal solution that is 100% based on fact. Yet, if you would speak to me, or any number of intelligent people who have agreed with me, you would hear an entirely different story.

The major difference between people such as myself, and people such as those shrieing about the “age gap” is that they have defined a problem – excess population due to bacteria-like growth – and I am unable to define a problem. Therefore, their voice is louder. It does not mean that they are correct. I repeat, it is simply that their voice is louder.

So the next time you see a kol korei, and you wonder, “How could this godol, or that godol, have actually come out with such a psak?” just remember that they have the AZs of this world shouting into their ears…..

When good intentions are the only prerequisite for getting attention, due diligence has not been satisfied.
