Reply To: What REALLY happened with those boys that OTD en masse?

Moq, all I can say is “Wow”. Definitely heartening, your story… And everyone else that weighed in, good points…

I agree that we are living in an age of superficialities. Both the secular and the Torah world are suffering from the lack of “realness”…

There’s another scenario too: What about the children/teens that are “fine with the system” and actually go for the superficialities (levush, going to a Rebbe, etc.) but then what happens when they start maturing, thinking for themselves… and figuring out that some of it is a sham? Will they too throw away everything once that realization hits them?
