@avirahdearah You posed your dilemma in a manner of sheker that has nothing to do with our conversation. Like I said, the question was regarding communities and their impact on Yiddishkeit. You did some tricks, moved some words around, and posed a question of individuals. Yes, it’s better for an individual to seek Olom HaBoh if it means giving up his Olom HaZeh. You may as well ask if changing a shoelace can allow a Choson and Kallah to say Shevah Brachos as that makes it a Punim Chadashos.

In the case of the two communities in question, the trend of banning anything but Gemara and Halacha in boys schools is an acute danger to the Olom HaBoh and Olom HaZeh of American Yiddishkeit. The dying ideas of Modern Orthodox Jews who don’t keep mitzvos are far less of a danger to our communities and have been less and less of a danger every year.
