jl, the crisis is not just for the older girls, then maybe just maybe NASI would make some sense but the regular 19 20 yr olds still cant get a yes from the boys
Because there are more of them than 23-24 tear old boys. The cause, age gap coupled with an increasing population. The solution NASI proposes, to close the age gap, would do wonders to affect that girls could get a yes. You were correct when you said, “i think i misunderstood this whole thing!!!”
Again, no one has explained to me what has changed. the target yeshiva boy in Litvish circles was always 23 and girls 19.20.
I’m really not sure when this problem began; it seems to me that there was a gender imbalance twenty years ago, and probably earlier; I became aware of the fact that it is an effect of age gap/population increase over a decade ago (I don’t know how long before that others understood the issue). If this gender disparity was not always a factor (which I don’t know for a fact is true), the could could be attributed to increased rate of population growth.
AZ, do you know when this problem began?
