Health says “if they aren’t frum, who cares?”…
sums up the weakness of too large a proportion of the chareidi velt. The gemoro tells us kol yisroel areivim ze bazeh.It didn’t specify only the frum. I won’t give you personal stories of meeting gedolim like Rav Noach Weinberg ztl or the Lubavitcher Rebbe ztl or the alter Bobover Rebbe ztl, and talking about their committment to every single Jew. I will tell you that where i live, there is a large, strong chareidi community. Every element of that community, from the Gerer, Bobover, Lubavitcher and other chassidishe shteeblach, to the multiplicity of kollels and litvishe yeshivos, to the MO kehilos, as well as the Agudas Yisroel and others and hundreds if not thousands of balabatim and their wives and their families are involved in the strong arms of the kiruv movement for children, teens, singles and families. There is no element of the frum-chareidi part of the kehilo that takes your attitude of “who cares”. Boruch Hashem.
And now I understand your posts and your perspective on a whole range of issues much better.
