Startling Results: Chareidim have been accused of having a toxic education system which demands immediate reform. I decided to look through the actual source data to see the outcomes of chareidi education and found the following results:
*Lowest crime rates
*Lowest Drug addiction rates
*Lowest Divorce Rates
*Lowest desire to leave Israel
*Highest Home ownership rates
*Highest Fertility Rates
*Highest Happiness Index
*Lowest Budget allotted from state for education
Some people have some explaining to do @VerminusM@slifkinzoorabbi@AvivaKlompas@EylonALevy@TimesofIsrael@Jerusalem_Post
@VerminusM You wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for us and we will never bend a knee to Zionism. We will only and always serve Hashem. You should be thanking us and honoring us and if the truth ever really mattered to you, you would join us. In the meantime stop spreading lies.
@DXW_KC That’s a silly comparison, the Gemara says that you can look at a woman if it is for marriage purposes, in fact it’s halacha that you must. Do you know what the Torah says about mocking Gedolim?
They'll beat Charedim, even those with Special Needs, to a bloddy pulp, why should we be surprised when these Reshaim (I know, I know, we were just following order), will kidnap a Chasan in front of his Kalah during Sheva Brachos?
You’re entitled to think what you want :). I know you don’t like what I write because the truth hurts and you never have a good answer when I prove you wrong. Mostly you just ignore when you’ve given up and now you want to tell yourself that because I’m in hi-tech or how you think I grew up that I don’t represent the Charedi perspective? Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Invented in the 1950s? Let’s check.
Volozhin kollel, 1803. Kovno kollel, 1877. The Yerushalayim kollelim supported by chalukah from Europe, 1700s–1800s. Rema (YD 246:21) permitting stipends for Torah scholars. Kesef Mishneh and Tashbetz defending it in the 1500s. Rambam at the end of Hilchos Shemittah saying anyone who dedicates himself to Torah like Shevet Levi, Hashem provides. Yissachar and Zevulun, which is the Chumash.
What’s new post-Holocaust is the scale, because we had to rebuild what was burned.
As for “don’t follow Torah law” — we’re the ones keeping Shabbos, kashrus, taharas hamishpacha, and sending our kids to learn Gemara. You can argue the army. You can argue the economics. But “no mesorah” is just a line that sounds good to people who’ve never opened a sefer.
I work for a hi-tech company and pay taxes in Israel, by the way.
@skjask@JChaplain39@TOMCHEI770 It's not manipulating, it's teaching. And yes, they should start being taught when they are young. Just like with every mitzvah in the Torah. Do you not believe Tznius is a Mitzvah?
Yes, some do, I don't doubt nor is it wrong. There are some that will speak behind a mechitzah. Also not wrong. When a group of Gedolim go out and speak and they don't hide themselves from women, they just keep themselves from looking I think that's inspiring. To see people mock it is just wrong. Mocking gedolim in general is a much bigger sin then being careful of guarding your eyes.
I really like your clarity on this. I would just say one more thing or maybe be more explicit. Hashem wants us to depend only on Him. Hashem doesn’t want us to rely on anyone or anything else. This is a wake up to Jews everywhere that 1) it’s time to come home and 2) despite our differences we need to stand together.
I think it’s absolutely beautiful. Modesty for Jewish women is like learning Torah for men. I have Rav Falk’s Sefer in Hebrew and in English and have learned the English one. Rav Falk is considered one of the premier halachik authorities and has received haskamos on his sefarim from Rav Moshe Feinstein ZT’L, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ZT”L, Rav Nissim Karelitz, ZT’L, and Rav Wosner ZT’L. That the school would offer such a program in a sensitive and beautiful way teaches the girls the value of The mitzvah of tznius.
Let me ask you, do you believe Tznius is a Mitzvah?
And thank you Hashem for it! The world needs more Torah learning and not less. There are about 16,000,000 Jews in the world. About 0.8% are learning in Kollel. I would love to see that number quadruple. But we should honor and respect those that are. They are truly the Princes of our people and are saving us beyond what we could imagine.
