Reply To: Whats with the off-the-derech teens?!?!

i dont know who sed it, but someone said the smartest go offf the derech.

I beg to differ.

the smartest are sitting in yeshiva (yes, along with hypocrits who dont understand, bla bla) because a smart person will see the smartest, most logical, beautiful thing in the world-Hashem and Torah. The ones who go off may be inquisitive and searching and may not get the right answers, but they are not the smartest.

Even in the past generation where the intelectuals went off. if they were all that smart, they would come to see the true light, not all the ‘brilliant’ isms. They might be struggling or have weak characters that makes them indulge in desires.

No, it is not the smartest ones who go off.
