“the culture, leadership, communal/social norms, are all about Torah and Hashem, with nothing else mixed in”
This is garbage. You know there is a politics obsession just from reading this site. You know there is a major struggle over how to view sitting in yeshiva and learning. You know that there is all kinds of internet guidelines that are being ignored. You know that there is all kinds of hefkeirus among the youth including married couples. You know that it is a rarity to go to a chasuna and see everyone talking in learning. You know that a top yungerman is not expected to finish the mesechta he is learning this zman. You know the yeshivos are tying themselves in knots trying to address the emunah curriculum problem. You know that nobody sets a standard for what kind of growth justifies sitting in a kollel. You know that davenig on time is getting really out of hand.
And somehow, the manner of dress and pool use by MO is a lack of observance. But by us, it’s just a gashmiyos problem.
Complete hypocrisy.
