we can’t go ahead and let children be friend with “non-religous”. put it this would you let your kids be friends with the frei children on the block. yes, we should try be mekarev the children and try bringing them closer to yidishkiet. But the yetzer hara is stronger, and if your child sees an inappropiate magazine for instance in their house. wat are you going to do about it? let them go back and play there?

and how is this dor which the level of tumah is so great take such a risk?

The attitude of most Israeli’s to Holocaust survivors was one of negativity as they were “embarassed” by the European’s who did not fight the Nazi’s. The initial protest of Yom Hashoa did not come from the Rabbis, but rather came from Menachem Begin and his comrades from the former Irgun.

They protested, because the Holocaust, and the resulting trials of the Nazis, was used largely as a facade to put on a pedestal those who “fought” and to diminish those who could not. (read Tom Segev’s “The Seventh Million” … it provides an interesting perspective on the Israeli attitudes towards Holocaust Survivors)

There was plenty of sinning in Europe before WWII, no question- but what about the hundreds of yeshivos? What about the hundreds of saints and rebbes and talmidei chachamim that were butchered and gassed??? What about the millions of incredibly righteous and miserably poor Jews who were taken away and never seen again???
What about the over 1 million Jewish children who were destroyed????

Who the hell do you think you are that you will lecture me and everyone else about why certain historical events happened? Go ahead, tell me why we wear tzitzit, or why the sun comes up in the morning, or why my great-grandfather starved to death in a Ghetto. Tell me why, on the last day of the war, when surely my “intermarrying” great-uncle (who was born and raised and married into the yeshiva world before they were deported), was shot and killed on the last day before liberation (surely only afterward enduring more than his fair share of punishment for 1,000 lifetimes.
I am not incensed because your allegations were personally insulting, but because they were ill-conceived, inconsiderate, insensitive and dead wrong.
And, KNS, you should be ashamed of yourself for going along with this. EMES???????????? I’ve never heard of a greater kefira than trying to tell God what to do, to tell Her why and how to deal out reward and punishment as if She didnt have a mind of Her own. If the system was so easy to figure out, nobody would ever get out of bed to daven.
