Most people aren’t upset with the NASI age-gap THEORY. What irks people is (1) a NASI representative wrote in an e-mail how NASI’s rabbinical coordinator suggested inflating statistical data to increase the “crisis” status (2) the original idea of offering a monetary incentive increased inappropriate shidduchim and was built to benefit a few shadchanim, not the singles (3) the latest $50 enrollment fee or your daughter won’t get married currently being advertised, is repulsive.
Because of this, no letter or public relations gimic utilized by NASI will ever be taken serious by the thinking population. NASI has impeached itself, therefore all the signatures and statistics are suspect.
