oomis -“And while I DO believe that learning upholds the spiritual health of Klal Yisrael, there is an Eis Milchama, and we are living through those times now.”

“Both sides need to understand and respect the position of the other.”
And do Bayit Yehudi/Mizarchi/NRP understand and respect the position of the Charadi?
Like I quoted Rav Schach zt”l -“There are two fronts in wartime -one on the front and one in the Bais Medrash.”
Do they understand and respect the position of the Charadi?
I think NOT!
