Should we be concerned about the growth and anti-Torah indoctrination that the secular movements — schools in Israel (and the rest of the world) are implementing? More babies are born every year to secular Jews than to Chareidi families. The Rosh Yeshiva Rav E.M. Shach zt”l seemed despondent one day late in the summer. In response to his students’ query, he replied that today is Sept. 1 — a million Yiddishe kinder are being taken to the slaughterhouse (that’s what he called it) that they call “schools” (i.e., the start of the new school year for the secular schools). And I shouldn’t be sad??
That’s what should bother us.
As far as the NK kooks who hobnob with murderers — on the one hand it is VERY serious; on the other hand, they are a disturbed pack of pathetic folk whom I’m certain that in the Oilam Ha’emes Reb Yoilish zt”l is condemning for “speaking in his (Reb Yoilish’s) name. The local NK in Yerushalayim and the Beis Din of the Eida Chareids do not call for any kind of consorting with the PLO or other murderers of Yidden. It is only the chutz la’artez based lunatic fringe of NK that is doing this.
