Hello99:
I think we are discussing two different points. You are focusing on the singles who are older already and what can be done to help them.. I am discussing why they got there in the first place and how to prevent it going further.
regarding some of your specific points.
1. Your are consistently incorrect re: what the letter stated. It clearly stated that AGE GAP is the PRIMARY cause not just that marrying close in age is a good thing. Rather because AGE GAP is the primary cause, therere …..Please read the letter again. If you’d like i’ll repost it.
2. Many many rabbonim where and continue to be consulted with. YOur question is why was the letter only brought to R”Y and not to Rabbonim, and the answer to that is due to the reasons why the letter was created the people involved felt at the time the R”Y where the proper address for that stated goal. It was not because rabbonim where not consulted.
Most importantly: if you feel there are other factors and if you feel you can help in other ways, by all means go for it. I would never tell you not to. There’s plenty of room for all to pitch in. If you think the NASI Project is wasting their time becaues they are focusing on what you consider a minor issue, then by all means do your own thing… They i.e. the R”Y advising them are pretty convinced that they are on to something at the core changing that will make alot of beneficial changes.
