Only one week to Tu B’shvat! The freezer is about to open! Does it really prevent shiduchim, or are we just desperate for a scapegoat so we don’t have to face the reality that shidduchim are like krias yam suf, and the only way to accomplish krias yam suf is by davening?
January 29, 2015 3:22 am at 3:22 am #1055540JosephParticipantHow does it allegedly “prevent shidduchim”?
January 29, 2015 5:14 am at 5:14 am #1055541Yayin Yashan B’Kli ChadashParticipantBy pushing eligible bochurim off for six months, it widens the age gap, thereby resulting in fewer girls married. I don’t know how accepted the age gap theory is, but I think this is related.
January 29, 2015 6:04 am at 6:04 am #1055542JosephParticipantSo you’re suggesting that the Roshei Yeshivos of Lakewood share a large part of the blame for fewer Jewish girls being able to get married as a result of the age gap?
January 29, 2015 8:18 am at 8:18 am #1055543BarryLS1ParticipantMaybe pushing Bochrim off for six months is a good thing. Many need to mature a lot more first, which would lessen divorces.
January 29, 2015 8:39 am at 8:39 am #1055544birdsonParticipantIf i remember correctly, Hashem told Moshe not to daven and to just walk into the Yam Suf.
January 29, 2015 11:48 am at 11:48 am #1055545TheGoqParticipantThis may come as a shock but there are other Yeshivos,

Youre right. They need 6 mos to work on the act
January 29, 2015 2:10 pm at 2:10 pm #1055548theprof1Participantthe freezer idea was made because boys would come to lakewood only for the name and be missing from yeshiva cause they were dating. the idea is good. it allows a boy to immerse himself in learning before dating. giving him a sense of torah life. the girls don’t mind this. this isn’t the reason for the crisis. the problem is that both boys and girls have set their sights on the “perfect” spouse, which doesn’t exist. Truth is that the majority of kids get married early. they have reasonable minds and reasonable parents.
January 29, 2015 3:09 pm at 3:09 pm #1055549☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantGoq, is there another yeshiva in the US with even close to as many shidduch age bochurim as BMG?
January 29, 2015 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm #1055550Yayin Yashan B’Kli ChadashParticipantName me 5 other yeshivos with over 25 guys in shidduchim. Like it our not, bmg has become the default stop for many.
January 29, 2015 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm #1055551BarryLS1Participantcrazybrit: Believe it or not, many men do, especially if they weren’t babied their whole life and actually earn what they have.
January 29, 2015 7:15 pm at 7:15 pm #1055552Yayin Yashan B’Kli ChadashParticipantWhat does maturity have to do with marriage? Out has much more to do with a willingness to compromise and give in, and an easygoing nature.
January 29, 2015 7:21 pm at 7:21 pm #1055553🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantI don’t think the freezer is affecting the shidduch crisis for one very simple reason. The boys coming out of the freezer now will be dating at the youngest girls who left seminary approximately seven months ago. If they would begin dating six months ago they would be dating the exact same girls. If they get engaged shortly after leaving the freezer it doesn’t affect the age gap at all. Only if it takes them five months they can begin dating the girls that are currently in seminary.
January 29, 2015 8:26 pm at 8:26 pm #1055554Yayin Yashan B’Kli ChadashParticipantIt can be said the other way around. Girls don’t start dating right out of seminary, so if he stats right away, he will take last years girls, but if he waits six months, he will go for this years. The freezer thereby effectively increases the age gap by a year. (I am not saying if I think this is true, I am saying an opinion in the world.)

Does that not fall under maturity?
January 29, 2015 8:51 pm at 8:51 pm #1055556Yayin Yashan B’Kli ChadashParticipantMaturity is an undefinable word. However, children who are very easygoing are more prepared for marriage than adults who are not.
January 29, 2015 9:04 pm at 9:04 pm #1055557👑RebYidd23Participantn psychology, maturity is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act, according to the circumstances and the culture of the society one lives in.
