“more girls are skipping seminary in Israel.”
the proliferation of seminaries in the USA over the last 3 years bears this out.
in a twist of irony, parents of young women who go to e’y for the year are often advised by shadchanim to wait a few months so their daughters can readjust while those who go to seminary in the US are already being redt shidduchim by the time pesach of their 1st yr out of high school rolls around (often sooner). these girls often have 3/4 a year to a year head start in shidduchim turning the “its the right thing for shidduchim” argument on its head.
