Goq: Absolutely!
We can only begin to implement solutions once we clearly understand the nature of the problem.
If the problem is lack of bitachon, lack of teffilah then that were our efforts should be.
If the problem is asystemic problem that created a inequity of numbers then that’s where our efforts shold be.
Therefore understanind the root cause is critical to solving the problem, NOT in order to play the blame game.
