lovetorah – I LIVE in E”Y and am chareidi/chassidish and 40% of my husband’s salary goes to the krum government (a smaller % goes from my mine). And my main point was:
Satmar DOES take services from the government – you can decide if that’s hypocritical or not
The government is unfortunately krum – think Ohlmert, Duma, the two MKs who just stepped down due to harrassment charges, etc. Which brings me to my next point…
What’s up with you American Chareidim. Why can’t you just move here and help us vote in a government that has torah-dik values? Can we start a new thread called why Americam Chareidim won’t move to Eretz Yisroel? Has this been discussed before? WE NEED YOU HERE!
