APY: simply amazing….
First the complaint was why are there no names endorsing the program.
Now the complaint is why aren’t there 70 names endorsing the program.
I guess some people just like to complain…
First lets’ get some facts stratight (I assume you aren’t Palestinian 🙂
There was NEVER a NASI ad about any program with 70 R”Y names on it. There was a Kol Korei letter from 70 R”Y regarding the shidduch crisis and AGE GAP that didn’t mention anything about NASI nor anything about any specific program. For all anyone knows NASI wasn’t even involved in putting togetehr that letter.
That point notwithstanding…
The letter for 70 had a specific goal in mind and to that end the decision was made to have 70 R”Y sign the (historic) letter) It took well over 6 months to put together. The people involved in running this specifc program didn’t and don’t feel the need to have 70 R”Y endorse this specific program.
For the record, the people running and advising the program didn’t really care all that much about having any Rabbonim and R”Y’s names on the program in a public manner as is evident from their launching it without any names. It was simply done now for the benefit of the public to be more comfortable with the program.
If you feel that you need 70 names endorsing this program, then by all means don’t join.
As an aside there are numberous other Rabboinim and R”Y who were spoken to and endorsed the program and all the details, but for various reasons they dind’t want their name in print for reasons such as, they don’t want the hassle of people coming over to them to ask them about it, as a matter of policy they never sign or put their names on these kinds of things, they understnad that the initial reaction could cause discomfort to some young women as such althought they endorse the progarm they’d rather not have their name on it in a public manner. etc etc.
