The OTD situation is growing by leaps and bounds for obvious reasons. Many of the adults have all their priorities wrong and the kids see this and get turned off. The focus for shidduchim is on money, money and more money. Even many yeshivas look at their balance sheets to determine if they are successful. We have a kollel system where wives have to go to work so the kids are being raised by spanish maids. You can tell who the frum jews are just by looking at their houses or should I say mansions. The kids look at the adults, realize that many of them are full of baloney and get turned off. Years ago, kids turned away from reform and conservative because they knew it wasn’t legit and now many are doing the same in our circles. Heaven help us.
