proud tatty,
re: your points #1 an #3
1- The letter begins by speaking of the “shidduch issue that is plaguing our country”!!! and ends with a request to marry “older girls”.
3- It clearly recommends marrying “older girls”.
How much more does the letter have to do a “Rachel Bitcha Haktana”?
Who what when and where is being the ventriloquist here??
Just the opposite. Sounds to me like s/o is muzzling
1. To put a muzzle on (an animal).
2. To restrain from expression: tried to muzzle the opposition.)
and muffling
1. To wrap or pad in order to deaden the sound: muffled the drums.
2. To deaden (a sound): The sand muffled the hoofbeats
the Gedolim’s words, r”l.
