Of course – default Judaism. Of course we were wearing shtraamele and bekeshe at Maamad Har Sinai.
Of course, there was no one in the field to leave leket and peah which are mitzvos deoraiso because everyone was in beis medresh learning.
Of course, the same default Judaism – oblivious of the fact, for example, of the takonos of Rabeinu Gershom. No multiple wives – Excellent takonoh – NOT from maamad Har Sinai.
Th truth is, this Lapid may indeed be “worse” than his father, because his father was consumed by his distaste for chareidm and all frum Jews, whereas this Lapid isn’t so easy to pigeonhole as a hatemonger, because he isn’t. He is more interested in effective solutions to what he sees as problems than he is in simply making public mockery like his father did. That makes him more dangerous to the status quo than his father ever was.
If you really want to put your head in the sand, I suppose you could ignore him. But he isn’t going away anytime soon. In his speech, I saw many things where reasonable compromise could work without compromising halocho. maybe that’s a starting point.
