Apparently my response was not understood. I have nothing but the utmost respect for these rabbanim. I have had much interaction with at least two of them, and my immediate family is close to at least three others. My respect for their Torah knowledge and committment to their kehillos knows no limits!
My question was not about those rabbanim, but rather what happened to the other list of 70? Did AZ and Pogrow (if they’re not the same person) lose their phone numbers? (All except R’ SF Schustal, that is.) Earlier on in this debate we were assured that this had the approval of numerous top tier gedolim. R’ Shmuel Kamenetsky’s name was even attached in the comments. How come he won’t sign this? Where are the Lakewood roshei yeshiva or mashgiach? No one named Feinstein? R’ Ahron Schechter? R’ Aharon Feldman? I’d be more than happy to accept non moetzes names, if they are of the caliber that are Einei Ha’eida. How about R’ Elya Ber?
Do you think roshei yeshiva don’t understand girls’ needs? Don’t they have their own daughters and granddaughters? To insinuate that our highest level of gedolim don’t understand the needs of (the female) half of Klal Yisroel, is what is found on other websites, and should not be said on YeshivaWorld.
If one wants to implement an intiative that will drastically change the economics of the entire shidduchim process, then yes, you must get top tier gedolim, or you’ll be laughed at by the hamon am.
