I’d like to follow up on my last post about outlandish claims and steamrolling the public into submission. That has been NASI’s modus operandi from the get go. My arguments with them are not personal but based on their tactics. I have no direct connection to the shidduch parsha.
From the beginning NASI has been taking leaves out of the playbook called yellow journalism. By making sensational proclamations in the loudest manner possible, NASI has garnered a cult like support not unlike that of a tabloid newspaper. I realize that its possible NASI does not realize that this is what they do and have done, but it is high time that they do realize.
The entire basis of NASI and their subsequent manipulation is the so called age gap theory. While anyone would admit that the idea has “seichel appeal” that is not enough to justify their agendas. In fact, not a shred of real evidence can back the simplistic theory, as I have been yelling from the rooftops since day one. The only attempt to offer proof was the Avi Chai study, which did not hold up to scrutiny.
I hope the public will stop allowing itself to be steamrolled by NASI going forward. We have the right to not be manipulated unfairly.
