Dr Geller:
I would like to respond but i’m simply not sure what to start so here are a few points.
1. we believer in bechira
2. G-D doesn’t “want” there to be hundredrds and hundreds of girls with know chance to marry. He “simply” allows us to run our lives and our society (within reason) and doesn’t necessarilly intervene to save us from the disastorous results of our own decisons.
3. G-D didn’t dictate that boys should start dating close to 23
4. G-D didn’t dictate that girls should start datng around 19
5. G-D didn’t dictate that boys who start dating at 23 should do shidduchim with girls who are 19.
6. What happened to the ploni of all the bas ploni’s who are above age x and have (biderech hateva) no chance of ALL getting married. (individuals each have opportunities, but collectively it’s impossible in our present state of affairs.
Dr. Geller: Please let me know if I need to go on. Please don’t bother attempting to understand the NASI Project in general or this specific program in particular until you understand these concepts. In fact the overwhelming majorit of negative feedback is simply based on a misunderstaning of the stark devatating petrifying reality on the ground.
Note to all: there is a effective proposal in palce to sovle the crisis once and for all going forward, and help if not all but vast vast numbers of the girls who are above age x.
Unfortantetly the powers that be continue to take time to bring those changes to fruition. They are simple, they are minor and the impact will be nothing short of collasal and earth shattering.
The outpouring of raw emotion that this new program brought forths (though it was NOT the attention to in any way hurt anyone chas v’shalom) is actually a bracha gedola.
This very same anger, venom, pain, agony, hurt, desperation, panic that has been brought forth this week and misdirected towards the project that has been toiling yomam v’loila for 4+ years now, will a small small small number of people, with minimal assistance from media outlets, to ease and alleviate in any which way possible the plight of these precious bnos yiroel, that AWESOME power, will now be channeled in the proper direction to bring about the changes that are so easy to do.
Now the the best news for all you CR folks. The day that happens, is the day the NASI Project closes up shop and i will then retire from this forum.
Have a wonderful shabbos
