As far as “yeshivish becoming MO” that does not fly with me, for 2 reasons:
# 1 – it implies that the MO are somehow “less” than us.
Not so. They are just following a different mehallech. Much like the shtramel / #70s crowd. Not better; just different.
# 2 – it implies that, to enter the workforce, you are by default “giving up something”. Again, not so. True, you need to be careful in the workforce, but by the same token, our boys need to be careful when they fly off for a year in EY. If you can trust them, you can trust them. As long as we are dilligent, and they know for whom they are truly working for and what they are working towards, we can build a true Ben Torah.
Once again, if the schools are teaching the opposite, then what your children will believe is what is taught, like it or not. Even if you manage to teach your child right, still 95% (if not more) will go with the flow, leaving us without a solution.
You and I actually agree on this one, but on a large scale it is not implementable without the Yeshivas & Beis Yaakovs. And they will never do it. Not until they don’t have a choice.
