Isn’t it ironic that davka on the issue of ‘sharing the burden’ , where the haredim are VOLUNTARILY so involved in .
The myriad gemahim literally thousands of them . All the gabbai’im of the countless tsdakka organisations .All the mothers of large families who are literally moser nefesh to care for them. Not to talk about hatsala , zaka , yad sarah etc. .
Thats Besides all the people who DEDICATE THEIR WHOLE LIVES TO OTHERS,
Davka on this very issue there is so much criticism.
Compare the average haredi with the average secular person . How much time and how much effort and how much of a share of their finances, is expended by each of them during a typical day on others vs oneself.
The seculars preach about altruism , but the problem is that they preach about their own type of altruism .
They are not prepared to recognize haredi altruism , it doesn’t fit in their worldview , therefore it does not exist in their minds.
So they are totally blind to it.
No wonder they are talking about entitlement attitudes.
They want a government controlled , a bureaucratically IMPOSED system of altruism .
From the top down.
THEY WANT TO CONTROL the haredim.
Thats THE issue, in my view at least.
And , sad to say , we are getting influenced by their propaganda.
Hence our talk about ‘entitlement attitude’ in this context.
