“MO theology is….”

You still have not answered my question from yesterday. Please define MO tenets based on their theologians. Also please define MO theology based on the theologians.

Just saying that you see MO people doing a certain thing is not tantamount to defining their beliefs and theology. If that was the case, I could say that Haraidi theology includes that one must be schnorrer. They schnorr from the Medina, they schnorr from the US gov’t, the schnorr from door to door. The vast majority of meshulachim that come to my door are Haraidi. Furthermore, one could say that the Haraidi system of low secular education is to produce more people who are unskilled and can’t make ends meet, who then have to schnorr. That way we institutionalize schnorring generation after generation.

My point is that no person or community is perfect nor immune to criticism. If you want to discuss the ideals and theology, please stay focused on the analysis of that.
