Just the other week Mishpacha ran a cover story detailing the problem of Alcohol abuse in the Yeshivos.

Typical of the breed. To think we got sidetracked in Beis Shemesh about socks versus stockings. The real issue is the erev rav schools and their teachings.

Psychotic drugged bullies make good soldiers? I think you’re either psychotic or drugged. That makes zero sense.

Surely, it is not a good situation by the non religious society. However, I do not beleive that it is healthy for us to focus on their lacks. We are more likely to grow by looking mainly inside of our own society to see what we can improve. Looking down at others will not bring us growth it only gives an artificial feeling of height which realy only brings to smallness.
May we be zoche to better ourselves in such a way so that all our fellow Jews will positively envy us learn to appreciate Torah and will join us together in the true service of Hashem.

anther great story by Yeshiva world. The ‘charred tzibbur’ has no issues at a lll.No child abuse, no drugs, no alcohol problems, just a wonderful beautiful community. i mean its so chaashuv the chareidi schools don’t allow kids to play ball chas vvesholom. The charred school system is a dump and faliur and because a few kids got high in Poland the chaareidim won’t serve in the army….GET REAL….reprt something real

Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens frequently in yeshiva high schools in the us. To point the finger and say that, or imply, that this is indicative of how secular students act is irresponsible. I grew up in the NY area and many yeshivas have serious situations like this, significant drug use, it is not just secular communities.

The Israel public schools are highly successful at their goal of producing good secular Israelis. Violence isn’t necessarily a “bug” since a country that is continuously at war, and with zero peace prospects, needs to have people who are born and bred to being violent. Psycotic drugged bullies make good soldiers.

When the Israelis talk about breaking up the yeshivos and drafting hareidim, it is with the interntion of making them “normal” Israelis – the goal has nothing to do with national defense.
