neutiquam- I appreciate you holding back and not judging, because yes there is a lot to jduge. But if you dont know enough then out of fairness to the inocent reader who doesnt know anything about them, I would hope we would all want to shed light on what they ARE and not what they aren’t. I would hope we would promote loving them, versus hating their shortcoming. Not everyone was as priviledged to grow up in a home surounding Torah. In all sincereity, I live at home with a modern orthodox family. As modern as true modern orothodox gets. My mom doesnt cover her hair (wears a hat to shul), they dont follow the same standards of tznious as you might and they watch TV, go to movies etc. But they care about and love the Torah. Torah is spoken at my shabbos table, my dad davens three times a day and goes to weekly shiurim. My family has total respect for all rabbis, not just the modox ones they follow, and they r huge in hachnasas orchim, chessed and creating learning programs for people of all ages and genders.
now I am talking to the klal, not just you neutiqram. It is difficult for me to understand the people who post here without putting themselves in the shoes of someone who is modox. They dont bend for Torah. A real true modern orthodox jew doesnt bend for Torah. They dont work on shabbos, they keep halacha and they typically cover their hair. They learn torah and live torah. Values are stressed alot more in other areas, but that does not mean they are bending torah rules to make the modern world fit into their lives. Im sure my family would be extremly hurt if I showed them some of your posts…
