Akuperma:
takahmamash: Except that in Israel the government wants to take yeshiva students (and girls, if you see the fine print) and put them into a military that sees one of its goals as being the secularizion of all Israels so there will be uniform culture (meaning that if you are conservadox or a left-wing religious zionist Israel is perfect, but not if you are frum).
Wow, thanks so much – I guess I’m not frum! That makes me feel so much better; I may as well break out the bacon, cheeseburgers, and lobster.
BTW, Akuperma, whoever you are – I have a daughter in the IDF along one of the northern borders, although she is not in combat. Her frumkeit is surviving just fine, and if anything, she’s managed to have at least some religious influence on some of the girls around her. I guess it doesn’t matter, though, because I guess in your eyes she isn’t frum either.
I’m gone. I’ve had enough of the sanctimonious tone in the CR that so many of you believe if you don’t have a black hat or a sheitle, you can’t be frum. Adios. I’ll be here when Moshiach comes, watching you all fight for airline flights.
