Gezeiras פרעה- Shidduch crisis

 

PARSHAS HASHAVUA שמות   חז"ל explain "ואת עמלינו" refers to the killing of our sons as it says כל הבן הילוד היארה תשליכוהו וכל הבת תחיון     The ברוך שאמר על הגדש"פ writes that Chazal intentionally  continued with the last part of the פסוק of וכל הבת תחיון to teach us that the גזירה was not only the killing of the boys but also leaving the girls to stay alive and not having anyone to marry. This in itself is a great חורבן. This catastrophic גזירת פרעה is unfortunately going on in our generation. Thousands of Yiddishe Kinder are suffering from this גזירה that the Yeshivah system is partially (good part) to be blamed.  Perhaps, they too should listen to דעת תורה or at least find out what דעת תורה has to say. It seems that the only solution in sight is to have a  TEN YEAR STUDY to find out the exact percentage that the age gap between boys & girls is responsible for this catastrophe and then we might do something about it.                 Psak from R. Chaim Kanievski Zt'l based on a Psak of the Chazon Ish                           ( ספר שי"ח שידוך מאת הרה"ג ר' נפתלי וויינברגר שליט"א)
