Logician that is an excellent question. My perspective is that you take the investment your parents, melamdim, and a whole generation of gedolim made in building the chinuch you benefitted from after the Shoah and you use it to formulate an opinion, direction, or plan for yourself and your family that is true to that investment. If that brings you to a conclusion of ein somechin al hanes, and your manhigim are telling you to be somech on a nes, you have a problem, a challenge on your hands. I will not be so presumptuous as to tell people which direction to go, only to question, again, why it got to this point when it could have been solved, and if there is indeed a plan, why hasn’t it been shared with the oilem that will need to follow it. I don’t have a good answer. That’s why this whole circumstance raises so many questions. Trust in HKBH doesn’t mean one should ignore derech hateva.
