Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.
APY: Time will tell won’t it?? Why argue theory, lets allow the results to speak for themsevles.. If you’d like i’ll explian how this will continute to close the age gap in fact it’s been explained numberous times in the very thread (i think).
Midwest:
1. Sure I remeber that one, and they would continue to write it (if it was still true), alas the papers got afraid and wouldn’t print it in the ad because of people like yourself. Please don’t accuse the project of having the same lack of backbone that the papers do.
2. Not nearly the shalom bayis issues that are caused by having girls at home who are petrified of never getting married.
3. Forbid? please indicate where that is stated ANYWHERE?????
4. You finally asked the question. How does this program help alleviate the crisis. Nice. Why don’t you just focus on that and once you understand that, you’ll understand it a whole lot better.
Rembeber the NASI Project aren’t shadchanim and benefit nothing by setting up a program with “exorbitant” rates. So why do YOU think they did it?? Hint, the answer is in the CR many times and was printed at length in the papers.
5. “And finally”, you now have expressed. You don’t believe the reality of the shiddcuh crisis. You seem to believe that there are roughly the same amount of older single guys as older single girls… As i wrote earlier everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not their own facts…
when you are prepared to face the reality of the crisis and realize that Hashem didn’t cause it he simply allowed us to make it happen i think you will then think differently.
It was precisely for people like yourselves that there was a urgent need to take out a ad that stated
10% of this years graduating class may rc”l never get married.
Peoples heads at the time were in the sand. they were in denial. It seems like some people still are.
As a father of 6 girls i would think you would be a person who is best served by making sure you understand the sugya AD HASOOF and do anything and everything you can to alleviate it as quickly as possible.
Have you ever thought of contacting the project and sharing your thought and feelings with them directly.
You might be presently suprised.
As a side note: you should know that people who have given of themselves (and i don’t mean money) b’lev u’vinefesh to assist in various ways to alleviate the crisis have seen tremendous hatzlacha with their own kids shidduchim. It’s simply the emes pshat in
“hamispalel b’ad chaveiyro v’hu tzorich l’oso davar”. Not a gimmick of trading names on a tehillim list with people you don’t know and don’t have any feeling for, but getting down and dirty to help others in the same situation.
The project doesn’t publicize this because they aren’t in the business of “hawking segulos” but know that it works and chazal told us that it does.
Feel free to contact the project to learn more about the sugya and how you can be of assistance to the project or to your midwestern conmmunity.
