Reply To: Becoming More Wealthy, Becoming Less Frum

OOTY is more evidence of the OP. He’s literally dirt poor with barely a dime to his name, facing eviction and a host of great difficulties to keeping Torah and Yiddishkeit. Yet he heroically refuses to give up his Yiddishkeit and instead is moving his whole life in a single suitcase to a Yiddishe community with nothing much more than the shirt on his back and a hitched car ride.

And how many wealthy or upper middle class folks have we so often heard compromising their Yiddishkeit or resorting to shvache or questionable heteirim in the name of parnassa or business. (Not to mention when on vacation or leisure since they’re out of town.)
