Is it really only the Modern Orthodox who suffer from a “void” that they need to fill?
In out times, we have: no prophets [neviim], no Torah-based Jewish Supreme Court
[Sanhedrin], no Rabbis with real smichah, no Temple [Beth HaMikdash],
no Kohanim and Leviim who perform their Avodah, and no unity among Jews,
not even among the Orthodox Jews (15%), and certainly not with the non-Orthodox Jews (85%).
Until the secular year 1967, we Jews did not even enjoy free access to the Kotel
in Yerushalayim; and if all Jews would have listened to the anti-Zionists,
then we would still not enjoy free access to the Kotel, even now.
Last but not least, our prayers [tefilot] seem to go unanswered most of the time,
even after we recite many prayers.
