I disagree with the premise of the article, that learning Tanach will teach Middos. Many Bochrim have no chance at having Middos in our yeshivos (which contributes to all the crises), and it isn’t even the yeshivos fault, to the most part. It is the parents, who don’t teach their children and spoil them rotten. It is the shaddchanim, who tell the boys they are worth 2K a month and raise their ego. It is the system, which doesn’t test and has no expectations. No amount of Tanach can help that.

Some Bochrim do have Middos, and that comes from the home, plus Siyata D’Shmaya. May we all be so lucky to have children who have Middos.

Maybe some musser would help a select few, but for those, we as a klal are better off if they learn and become Poskim. Once they marry they will either divorce or be forced to learn/have middos.
