In a recent episode of his widely shared Q&A sessions, Harav Gershon Ribner shlit”a, addressed a question posed by a group of bochurim deeply concerned about their role in resolving the ongoing shidduch crisis. The bochurim, who identified themselves as a group not eager to leave their American yeshiva early, asked a straightforward yet loaded question: “We want to stay in our current yeshiva, but we also feel an achrayus to help solve the shidduch crisis. What should we do?” Rav Gershon’s answer was equally straightforward — and striking: The best way to help solve the shidduch crisis is to stay in your American yeshiva through fourth-year beis medrash and then go straight to BMG or another yeshiva where you can begin shidduchim. Skip Eretz Yisroel entirely.
