As I’ve mentioned elsewhere it’s all about the manmade divisions based on fear of the other. The major community school I attended puts out videos. You see all types of boys. Minyan has boys with leather yarmulkes and no hat or jacket. Boys with knit yarmulkes. Boys with jackets but no hats and boys with hats & jackets. Many will say “We can’t risk a Yeshiva bound boy being in the same class as a college bound boy.” There are a million reasons why not but this school is proof it works. The Bais Medrash has boys in black & white learning with boys in a colored shirts. The best is the boy with the knit yarmulke (with the 2 metal clips) sharing a siddur with a Chasidish boy with a buzzcut and long curled Peyos. If we stopped being afraid of the “Other” & learn to get along & respect each other Moshiach will come.
