Not even an edited version of my post? Ok, I’ll try again.
Many people consider me off the derech even though I learn daily, am shomer Torah uMitzvos, and do chesed. They consider me off the derech because I refuse to play games with my yiddishkeit. I see many people who are considered “on” despite doing many averos — including bein adam lamakom, which people somehow consider more important — that I don’t do, simply because they are willing to play along with the shtick. They wear the uniform. They go to the right shuls and talk through davening. They go to yeshivos and pretend to learn, and they are considered “on.” I don’t do shtick, so I am considered “off.” Fortunately I had a good rebbi in High School and I didn’t drop Torah entirely, but many people do. Mikehall, you want to know how to fight it? Cut the shtick and people will come back.
