MM: Glad to hear you singing a different tune.
I’m not sure who those other folks are that you refer to. I don’t think I have once advocated girls not trying to get married as soon as they can-in fact i think i have wrote specifically the . I don’t think I have once advocated shadchanim absolutely not redding to younger girls. What I have been encouraging is more close in age shidduchim by
A) boys going out with girls their own age (yea that would obvioulsy mean fewer 19 year olds getting dates)
B) shadchanim focusing more on girls slightly older (yes that would obviously mean fewer dates for 19 year olds as there are only x amount of hours in a day for a shadchan to work. If they focus on slightly older girls than the yonger girls will be getting slighlty less attention.
In addition I broadcasting the NASI agenda to look for and explore other ways to encourage close in age shidduchim. I never said that is what the 70 R”Y signed. I have said that is what the R”Y advising NASI are encouraging. (NO the 70 R”Y are not ALL part of the NASI advisory committee. To think that they are, is simply silly).
In addition, Rav Shteinman Shlita in his own handwritting wrote (tranlated). “May Hashem strengthen you to find ALL SORTS of ????.” (emphasis mine)
With what exactly to have an issue? If some of the suggestions being explored don’t meet with your agreement, that’s fine. The NASI project will only pursue that which their advising R”Y encourage.
