Ben David,<br /><br />Thank you for your insightful post. <br /><br />Perhaps the extremism in certain parts of the OU world will be reduced as it is not sustainable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-40701889875640528942011-10-04T01:33:28.253-04:002011-10-04T01:33:28.253-04:00The Makor Rishon newspaper a couple of weeks ago p...The Makor Rishon newspaper a couple of weeks ago printed a whole section on the situation of the Haredi society today (primarily that in Israel). Most analysts point out that much of Haredi youth is moving into the modern world, wants academic education, is going into the workplace and is being exposed more and more to outside ideas. This is only going to INCREASE the extremism of parts of the Haredi leadership. They (rightfully) fear that their followers will move in new, possibly undesirable (from their point of view) directions without necessarily leaving the Haredi community (although some will). This will create a reflexive action against it. We will see more things like the "wig" controversy where the rank-and-file Haredim will be confronted with demands that they be required to publicly show their allegiance by making some sort of declaration of loyalty or by making a difficult, expensive sacrifice...e.g. having their women get rid of expensive wigs on supposedly halachic grounds.<br />Fortunately, I live in Israel and we (the National Religious community) don't have to confront these problems, except for those on the seam line in places like Ramat Beit Shemesh. There is also an organized reaction against halachic extremism. So batten down the hatches, look at the big picture and be aware that the extremists will be defeated in the long run as the Haredi community inevitably opens up and changes.Y.

At least delete them if you dont like them. With all his talk of spritualism on this blog he doesnt even keep mitsvot. I have always known that someone over frum on here, that there must be a 'catch' somewhere. The gemoro in sotah gives the example of a woman praying for a child to become better when she through sorcery made him ill in the first place. You should keep your spiritualism or whatever you want to call it away from Jewish sites. If it doesnt go with the Torah it is worthless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-64890618394824551132011-10-01T16:52:56.004-04:002011-10-01T16:52:56.004-04:00And without anybody burning the House of Commons o...And without anybody burning the House of Commons or even the Senate.<br />posted by Adam Zur at 2:34 AM on Sep 30, 2011<br /><br />Part of a long post by the above on rosh hashono.<br />I think its disgraceful.

It's a full length reproduction of the original essay from Ami Magazine but altered to show that those who criticize should look at their own community first.<br />Secondly, yes I know there are differences between the Agudah and other factions mentioned but then lumping in YCT with the rest of MO as if they're one homogeneous group is similarly absurd.
