Neville, not sure if that was a sarcastic comment. I work with chilonim and have a glimpse at their lives that chareidim don’t normally have. They may be far from Torah, some are even anti-Torah, but they also have their good points. They are yidden too, with yiddishe neshamos, and the spark comes out even if it is buried. They have strong family values- most are in their late twenties/early thirties and married with 2-3 kids, (you would not find this in an American secular work place). And they are much more accepting of other people, probably a little too accepting actually (ok, except maybe chareidim..) I really do not see the anti-sefardi attitude among them that I see among Israeli chareidim.
