shlishi –
but he thinks the freezer is artificially holding back boys who would like to start.
Well, then this disagreement is essentially between an anonymous internet poster and the Roshei HaYeshiva of Beis Medrash Govoha.
It’s not too hard to figure out who AZ is. Besides, his point is not to abolish the freezer, it’s that bochurim should come back from E.Y. earlier, so that they’re out of the freezer earlier. The point of the freezer, as I understand it, is that the bochurim settle in to a good learning routine before they start going out, not that they should go out later.
Health –
DY – This whole convo is talking about guys who learn in EY and then go to Lakewood. What – there are no guys in Shidduchim in America who don’t follow this route?
Sure, there are some. That doesn’t change the fact that many (probably a large majority) do go to Lakewood.
“When someone gets married, he takes on financial responsibilities that he did not previously have,”
Not in Lakewood – he don’t!
Sure he does. Whether his shver supports doesn’t change the kesuba.
For the purpose of this conversation, my point is that despite the stereotype, the vast majority do eventually leave full time learning. At what age that takes place is usually directlt related to the age someone gets married.
