Squeak: Are you disagreeing with what the Roshei Yesvhiva Signed?? The letter was clearly about Closing the Age Gap…..
To the best of my knowledge I have espoused nothing other than figuring out ways to encourage close in age shidducim being that it is the primary cause(and we can get into petty discussion whether that means 51% or 95%) of the problem.
(my humble opinon is that the Roshei Yeshiva wouldn’t have put out such a letter focusing on age gap if they felt it was simply one of many causes and that allieviating the age gap wouldn’t help much…)
