For the record, one of my roshei yeshiva was approached to sign as one of the original 70 and refused. He holds that girls should marry as close as possible to the spiritual high they are on when returning home from seminary in Israel. The longer they are back in America, the more their hashkafos get diluted. Remember they are not in Yeshiva like the bochurim. Most of them are out in the world, and being exposed to religiously compromising influences. So I can assure you, he does not hold of this one either.
Personally, I think Sems are not only Sam Hill’s minions, but the chief. Possibly even the being heesself. 🙂
Seriously, there are some good ones (BJJ comes to mind), but most are garbage, and exist to employ Yidden in Eretz Yisroel (which in of itself is not a bad thing).
