Kuvult – I’m sorry, you seem to have taken my support and run with it far past the boundaries. My comment is that they have absolutely no idea what you are describing because they have no reference for it. I also commented that you were naive in thinking that secular kids fill their time with the same things frum kids do (for sure overlap, but not as a whole)
But once you start with the racism – giving aliyos to all the fraudsters – it is obvious you aren’t who you were trying to make yourself out to be. I used to use that party line too, and the aliyos given to jailed individuals sickens me still, but you have decided to go the antisemetic “this is who your contemporaries are” instead of accepting that it isn’t a community characteristic.
And I backed you when you said that a long time ago there were less differences and a place to make room in each others lives because of the gains. But you wrongly have stretched that into ‘goyim are no different and my kids can immerse themselves in their lives without consequence and thinking otherwise is bigotry”. Unfortunately that isn’t true. And I would be shocked if you even thought it was.
you started off able to talk to someone who valued Torah and the people it was given to. Respecting other Jews does not have to include meeting them where they are at.
With all that, I still don’t condone the black and whiteness that gets portrayed by people who have already mentioned they are not parents and are talking speculatively.
