And as someone else pointed out, most of the Gedolim support the 
deferment. Which brings me back to my original question.  How is it 
that there is no tshevua on the subject from one of the acknowledged 
Gedolim? Someone (I'm sorry I can't find the post) pointed out that 
one of the Chief Rabbis of Tel Aviv (?) wrote about the subject. With 
all due respect, why was this subject dealt with someone who, while 
he is certainly a Talmid Hakhaham, is not thought of a being a Gadol Hador?
