I really don’t understand what your issue is. “
DY, so many of us think this is a bad idea for whatever reason. Why do the NASI folks not understand what OUR issue is?
Someone once asked the question about what the difference is between a pane of glass and a mirror? After all they are both made of glass. The answer is that the mirror is glass that has been coated with silver. When you look out a pane of glass, you see everyone around you. But as soon as you cover that glass with a little silver (or in this case, gelt), all you can see is yourself. The perception that troubles many of us is that the NASI project seems overly concerned NOT with how many happy shidduchim they can successfully make, but how much gelt the shadchanim can potentially make (off other people’s desperation and loneliness).
I understand that you personally do not see it this way, but if it comes across this way to so many people, then EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT in everything you state, there is something fundamentally wrong with the project as it stands now.
