  1. The same old false narratives keep on getting regurgitated about the shidduch crisis they all have the same common denomination
    Hatred of Bnei Torah and the yeshivos. They will scapegoat all ills on the bnei yeshiva without fail nothing new this has been going on for thousands of years either by those outside or nowadays from within even with a title of Rabbi.

    2. The poop has been pooping non stop on the freezer
      Especially mevazeh Rav Yakov Landau ztl Achar moisoi with a audio clip where he made a joking passing comment in a speech about getting married early

    3. THERE IS NO SHIDDUCH CRISES
      Hashem already setup your sons and everyone else’s son/daughter zivug 40 days before they were even born. Forget about the fact that now they are holding at around 20 or so years later since they were born. Hashem has their zivug waiting for them and can send it to your son/daughter immediately but is just waiting for each person involved in shidduchim to do their RUCHNIUS hishtadlus of Bitachon and Emunah(faith and trust in Hashem) together with Tefillos/Prayers.
      Mrs. Seminary girl,/Mr. Learning/working boy Are YOU doing your RUCHNIUS hishtadlus? Not just your gashmius hishtadlus of dating and speaking to shadchanim etc….?
      Start turning directly to Hashem for help in all your needs, especially shidduchim that they say is a bigger miracle than the splitting of the Yam suf.
      Why are we not putting our faith and trust directly in our loving father, king of kings, ruler of the world Hashem? Especially when we all know the truth that Hashem has everything down to every person's breath and penny of income already decreed since Rosh Hashanah for the entire upcoming year? Of course we need to do our Hishtadlus but the ultimate secret for success in our needs is to turn Directly to the source Hashem for help in anything. as we say in bentching from Tehillim "ודורשי ה לא יחסרו כל טוב" i.e. for one who seeks out Hashem directly lacks nothing that is good.

  2. I don't think it's hatred. It's just ignorance. The freezer is against Halacha and against Torah Hashkafa, but has no effect on the shiduch crisis.

    1. The majority of bochurim who go to BMG, who are at all serious about their learning, appreciate the months of uninterrupted learning the freezer gives and realize it's necessity in order to for the ruach of learning to be at it's ramah.
      Anyone who has a problem with the freezer is free to come to BMG a zman earlier, or better yet skip going to EY

  3. The shidduch crisis peddlers and its lapdog media quote gedolei eretz Yisrael, while these people never follow anything else they said nor have any respect for gedolim they use them for their agenda and attack others

  4. So? par for the course for nearly all k-nockers
    & yet the public seems ok with it

    1. The public is NOT ok but you won't see public opinion they are either fed Kool aid and forced upon them with the guilt of daas Torah
      or the frum media is paid off and bought
      As an example most frum Jews voted for Trump and will do so again but the self hating charedi media publiicstions et al Miahpacha Ami YWN and the other sewage sites are all anti Trump
      They are definitely not reflecting the public opinion but pretend to or a bad attempt at trying to shape it

      Delete
    2. All Charedi mainstream media are basically pro-Trump. They sometimes allow sentences or even articles that bring another side to the argument.

      For that, the self-declared Morality squad of the coffee rooms of Charedidom deem them anti-Trump. The claim is כולה שלי. Anything but absolute fealty and loyalty to Lord Trump is 'wacko left'.

      Nebbach on us.

      You have your head buried in the sand
      You obviously have not been reading the frum media
      MISHPACHA. AMI YWN and Agudath Israel are all Heavily Agenda driven anti Trump not just with a few articles.
      Stop trying to cover up for them they are not even hiding it

      Delete
    4. Please. The Charedi media is wildly pro Trump. I guess to you, any paper that doesn't state in every sentence that Trump is amazing, honest, and full of good middos, is "anti-trump."

      Delete
    5. Halevai, the Jewish media should occasionally allow even one critical word of Trump shlita.

    6. He charedi street might be against Neturei Karta, but they don't show it.
      Even if NK demonstrates with leftist socialists on Shabbat, in shteinel and bekeshe.

    7. Get real

      The media may be too pro the Donald.But only like the dog leading it's owner's leash.(& because the real media despite their supposed disdain for him uses the weeklies to guide us away from real conservatives who they hate)
      However for everything else them being vapid askanim mouthpieces are gluttonly democrat!
      Judaism's opinion for anything of substance has been relegated already to a keren zovis
      The media & orgs. they promote desire total control of the masses.But since on this the masses are already pretty well decided,they deem it a must to pretend in order to remain on the lead .

      Delete
    8. caveat:with exception of a few pork full barrel republicans who are so corrupt they should be democrats
      (e.g. Guess where the media stood with the Great Neck community on #&@ Santos, until he was uncovered)

  5. Ditto.But either way the public accepts it,yes?

  6. One tragic problem is that shadchanim don’t respond to texts or phone calls, leaving parents and girls alike without any idea of what’s going on. The sheer lake of middos is beyond the pale.

    1. The shadchonim are overwhelmed. reach out to newer ones get in touch with kesher office.

    2. The "lake' of middos is only by you, not by those who work night and day to help people get married. They don't have time to post narishkeit about others like you. Have you ever tried doing their job? You'd break down and be hospitalized in a week, poor thing.

      Delete
    3. I don’t believe shadchanim are any busier than me. My job requires me to spend extensive amounts of time speaking with dozens of people a day, following through on what I said, and then following up with the clients. And I do that without exception. Every day.

      We don’t know if they are busy, nor do you. They don’t tell us anything. All we know is that they ignore phone calls, emails and texts. And there really is no excuse for ignoring people for months—it’s a reflection of very poor middos.

  7. The freezer is against Halacha and against Torah HashkafaJanuary 14, 2024 at 4:05 PM

    Silly people. The Roshei Yeshiva care about halacha and have Torah hashkafos

    1. Ask anybody your machshiv thats not Affiliated with or scared of bmg. No one will tell you its the right hashkafah.

    2. I did. And he felt that the freezer is an excellent thing and that it's not to blame for the crisis.

    3. The second half is obvious to anyone with seichel. The first half is true with regard to what it is trying to do, which is improve the learning.

  8. Instead of arguing whether the freezer is a good thing or not how about Abolishing the freezer for a few years and see if there's a benefit........ Numbers don't lie...... And the pro of having a freezer is pretty vague....... Worth a try....

    1. No, not worth a try.

      How about educating yourself a bit a Torah Judaism in America. The discussion needs to be about what Yeshivos do for us. Now, what have you done for us?

  9. How ironic the yeshivos that are the hardest to get into are eliminating 4th year. The problem starts way before the age gap by making elitists amongst us and having categories of only metzuyanim thereby sidelining everyone else and it is those girls or even boys that are not looked at or redd shidduchim because they were not accepted or part of the elite class. The shidduch crisis is much more than numbers but nobody wants to address the core issues.

    1. Ami had researchers who proved that back in elul

    2. No. The elitist are the ones with a crisis. Anyone who's non elitist and is open minded about his shiduchim prospects are having an easier time.

  10. Who is paying poop to pimp for anti freezer propaganda

  11. The Ami article proved with the latest updated data based on Lakewood that the numbers game and age gap are not the problem
    But nobody wants to talk about the elitism and categories that everyone is boxed into thatbis the root cause of the problem.

  12. Lowering the age gap will make girls older much quicker

  13. It's the same age old problem, the boys are pushed by their Rabayim to look for status ( Kavod ) or money

  15. Why is the freezer which is barely 3 months of dating loss the scapegoat -Nothing more than haters of BMG and no chashivus for Torah. Fact is the 3 months are more like 2 months when you factor in the extra people rushing to start dating before the zman + continue for the first few weeks + people start before the 3 month mark.. closing the gap may help the situation but the focus of eliminating the freezer is pathetic. Every bit may help but why start from the freezer?? Can’t believe there was even a 4th year in Slomowitz - I guess it’s a start…

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yes bashing BMG is stupid. If someone has a problem with BMG & their policies that should move back to Brooklyn or go to Florida. The freezer won't make or break anything

    ReplyDelete
  17. Many of the BMG shadchanim are dp old school, like the Rebbeyimthst only give attention to the kids whose parents tip them the most
