A delegation of leading American Roshei Yeshiva have traveled to Israel to consult with Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlit”a about the Shidduch Crisis, according to Charedi media outlets.
According to the report, the group is considering a dramatic move – shortening the amount of years boys learn in yeshiva before they begin dating.
The delegation led by Rav Mendel Slomovitz shlit”a of Lakewood consists of R’ Mottel Dick shlit”a, Rav Yehuda Svei shlit”a, and the Novominsker Rebbe shlit”a.
They are reportedly considering eliminating one year of high school or bais medrash, which would hopefully decrease the infamous “age gap”, by encouraging boys to begin dating sooner.
This dramatic move would appear to be a strong endorsement of the “age gap theory”, which posits that the main reason for the Shidduch Crisis is that there are more girls in the dating pool than boys, due to population growth each year, combined with the fact that older boys tend to date younger girls.

There are certain things that, nowadays, you simply can't manage like products on an assembly line. Shidduchim is one of those. It's not like when you go into the store, see a bunch of products and choose the one you like.
same old crap, different day. stop forcing every putz to sit on his tuches and live off someone else's dime. If you're not cut out to learn 8 hours a day, get a fooking job. and to the parents of girls, if your daughter marries a working boy, stop being afraid of what the nosy neighbors will say. Maybe, just maybe, she doesnt really want a learning boy.
