Gadol: I agree that the word crisis is overused, but I’m not entirely sure you understand what it refers to here. I don’t want to be presumptuous, but judging from the CR alone, it’s probably not something so applicable to your community.
It refers specifically to a problem in communities that marry men off to women several years younger. This produces a mathematically-provable certainty that there will be single women leftover in any growing population (which the charedi population is). Having emunah is one thing, but claiming that a room of say 50 men and 100 women could produce no singles with no polygamy is not emunah, it’s just shtuyot.
