My friend I also like the point you made about the necessity to go to the extreme opposite as a nation in our need to identify ourselves as opposed to assimilating with the ideas and knowledge around us. (you did point to that didn’t you?)
Well having said that, I therefore must say, that is what is RIGHT ABOUT SATMAR. Very “Backwards” as in shtark and unwielding to the “Times”, yet pure in keeping our mesorah.
