I’m still not convinced there IS a crisis, but it seems like this survey/research project is a good thing, and can help clarify what is ACTUALLY going on . @kingdavid – wouldn’t you agree that Hashem wants us to do our hishtadlus? It seems like this is what these people are trying to do. I don’t think they are trying to play Gd.
Obviously things will unfold the way Hashem wants them too, but like making a parnassa, we are EXPECTED to do OUR part!
