GAW- They are, what makes you think that they aren’t???
As i’ve posted numberouls times. This new program isn’t the first thing they’ve done, and it’s not the last. Its not even the most important. IT’s simply a piece in a big puzzle.
The big prize is the necessary structural changes. Hopefully one day that will happen.
btw i’m curiouls what should i see by gateways connections, other than a group of shadchanim (some on salaries some volunteers), of which there are numbeous such organizations Kesher, shhefa links, binyan, yu conncets to name a few off the top of my head.
Is Gateways doing something specific regarding the age gap that i missed or have they indentified some other root casue of the crisis that they are out to address? Please educate me, i’m very very interested.
rc- “Nasi non helpful shadchanim”
1. there is no such thing as a nasi shadchan unless you are reffering to the shadhcanim who in the last few weeks joined this new program. Prior to this there never existed a concept of a nasi shadchan as nasi isn’t a group of shadchanim. As such i’m not quite sure how you pass judgment on something that isn’t even active.
2. It seems like you still fail to understand why why why the girls are at a disadvantage. Until you undersatnd that, there’s little chance for you to understand why closing the age gap is helpful. Getting back to shadchanim faster won’t help an iota. It is the equivalent of playing the music faster in this cruel game of musical chairs.
3. something IS very seriously wrong. when that gets fixed, most of the other problems in the shidduch system will get fixed as well.
