YYA > The bottom line is, IMHO it’s only a matter of time before the MO world in general, not just YU, will have to make a ‘binary’ choice (pun intended)

I am sure there are places that try to keep with the “Joneses” in all these things. I am not talking about that at all. I am not talking about that. Just about basics of reading/writing/math/science/professions. Rambam learned greek and “modern” Arab science without getting involved in their toevot.

PS And as you might see from current US politics, there is a strong backlash from part of the society to some of those things. Whether Jews should be getting involved in cultural issues, I don’t know. I personally stay out.
