Reply To: Inviting divorced women to your Shabbos table?

Not to get too deep in this, but regarding divorce, regardless of whether Chassidim or Litvish have a higher rate of divorce, such a conclusion ignores many other concerns. Namely, is a lower divorce rate by itself indicative of an overall better situation or not? Perhaps more Chassidim live in dysfunctional homes and due to increased barriers to divorce (financial/social/familial considerations) they can’t make a decision that would be beneficial for the entire family. Also this whole idea of trying to measure one community by another ignores some basic questions such as what is the right thing to do or how to live. Numerically growing or larger or more unified communities do not prove anything, as otherwise you would have to look outside the Jewish world to see how you compare to any number of Christian, Muslim, and other groups.
