chulentmoma613:
While this may be an emotionally appealing thought, this simply cannot and should not be the case.
It’s one thing to say that one who wears a streimel or knitted kippah should be just as valued and loved as one who wears a velvet kippah. Certainly, anyone who is “bichlal amisecha” is on the same playing field in this regard.
And one should not Ch”V judge another person for his personal level of Yahadus either.
But, at the same time, it is vitally important that people know that the background/hashkafos (rebbi/mesorah) of any Jew who has influence on them has not come from foreign sources but rather from only Torah sources.
So this is one important reason for the distinction between, as you wrote, “Modox or Yeshivish or Chassidish”.
May Hashem grant wisdom and strength to all His children to drop their infatuation with foreign gods and other foreign nonsense and secular culture so that all His children look to only Hashem and His Torah.
