Dr. Pepper:
sorry just saw your post now.
The letter with the names of the 70 R”Y who signed has been published again and again. I’d be happy to send you a copy of the original letter. If there is any way for me to email it to you or to YWN editors and for them to send to you i’d be happy to do so. Feel free to send a email to [email protected] and they’ll send you the original letter as well. I’m not sure what else i can offer.
with regards to ideology, i apologize, but i don’t remeber your previous attempts at dialogue. I’m not denying, I simply don’t remeber. Feel free to remind me.
With regards to R”Y who didn’t sign.
A. I didn’t approach the R”Y myself so it wasn’t me. More importantly, To the best of my knowledge the only two R”Y who where approached and didn’t sign (Rav Chaim Epstein and Rav Meir Stern) BOTH strongly encouraged the efforts to close the age gap, but they declined to put their name on the letter for personal reasons, NOT as a lack of support of the efforts or the attempts to encourage close in age shidduchim.
