Tzippi: The Ribbono Shel Olam is the Kol Yachol there is nothing to discuss. Sitting on our hands and saying let him solve our self created problem is a cop out-Sorry. The letter actuallly says the “in his great kindness it has recently been revealed that the main cause of the crisis is age gap”
Shaindel: No one seems to be debating that it is the girls having the difficulty. May I humbly ask WHO is the shadchan for all the boys. Yes shadchanim are abused etc. etc. BUT the dearth of shadchanim is NOT a major factor in the shidduch crisis.
artchill: you write
“poor girls settled and took miserable spouses who settled for families more appropriate for the…. Girls who are trapped in a hamster wheel of abuse with nowhere to turn.”
Please let us know on what basis you make claims that it the last year and half to two years (that’s how long age gap awareness has been going on)this has happened because “they fell for the crisis mentality”.
The letters published in the newspaper tell a different story…
Please don’t make things up…….
