Our Society And a Developing Crisis

Received via email:

As of the last few years, there has been a disturbing trend. Many of our respected shadchanim are reporting that girls and boys only want to live a life of learning. People seem to be putting much emphasis on Yisachar. But, what will happen to our society if such a trend keep growing for the next 20 years? What will happen to our our shuls and yeshivas if both yisacher and zevulin are disproportionate? How will we find funding for our institutions, if there are more learners then workers?

I bring this topic up as a proud citizen of the Orthodox Jewish community. I don’t want to cause controversy, but I am concerned. Our community is currently flourishing. It is beautiful to see families with six or even seven children while walking down the street. But what will we do if we run out of money?
