rob: Do not put words in my mouth. Nowhere, absolutely nowhere, have I “wrote that the chareidim are becoming a majority of jewry”. Nowhere. There are still more Reform Jews than chareidim. I wrote about Orthodoxy and Orthodoxy only. And Chareidim have already become a majority of the Orthodox. By a long shot. Not even close. As cited, 81% of American Orthodox Jews aged 30 and younger are Chareidi, and 71% of American Orthodox Jews overall are Chareidi. So the pattern is very clear. With each younger generation orthodoxy is becoming increasingly Chareidi. In Israel the trend is the same notwithstanding the Russians who many/most are not even Jewish, let alone Orthodox. (Despite their hocus-pocus ” conversion” before getting right back to their pork and shellfish meal.)
