I am plenty educated. I have listened to their speeches and read their articles, and I know people who have used their services. Fact: if you take a look at their website, you will see they focus exclusively on helping people with issues that are not at all in conflict with Torah. They offer assistance with education, careers, unique needs for families, as well as opportunities for socializing. NOWHERE do they say: “we will help you be mechallel shabbos, or teach you how to eat treif.” NOWHERE do they say: “stop being religious.” They offer assistance for people who have felt that the charedi world is no longer for them, and now need to figure out how to survive in the world.
I have no doubt there are some individuals there who have deep-seated pain, which is expressed with anger toward their former communities. But that shouldn’t be an excuse to tarnish the organization as a whole. And we might also find a little compassion for those individuals (even the leaders) who come from our world but must’ve felt so much pain that they gave up families, friends, and communities in trying to find happiness. That’s not a thing to take lightly.
This will be my last comment on this subject. May Hashem help us in these trying times to only judge and be judged favorably. ?????? ?’ ?????? ???? ???? ?????.
