The NASI ad reads: “…our Gedolim have called on us to encourage our bochurim
Let’s be honest. I find that hard to believe. The Gedolim were calling on them to do this? From everything I’ve seen going back to the beginning, it’s a major campaign for these NASI guys to get the signatures; certainly no one is chasing them down to do it. Next up, we’ll be getting photoshopped ads from Kupat Hair showing the Gedolim banging down the doors to call on the tzedaka collectors to offer “segulos” via airmail.
That kol koreh was not meant to convince guys to date younger; it was simply meant to make the promoters of the kol koreh feel good.
Possibly, but the primary purpose of the kol korehs is a curtain for AZ and his ilk to hide behind. You may mean the same thing. What better way to silence the intelligent opposition than to make it seem like they oppose the Gedolim? Brand them as koifers and every time someone dissents the masses will genuflect and cover their children’s ears.
They can self-promote only by hiding the problems with their mission statement.
