MDG, “If the MO are going OTD then charaidi are also to blame…”
My observation has been that there are way more Chassidim going OTD than Mod Orth.
Once the Chassidim start going in that direction, and get involved in the organization with the name beginning with “F”, which is happily financed by UJA, and supported by Modern Orthodox synagogues, the Chassidic individuals leave Orthodoxy, and often Judaism of any kind, period.
IMHO the Modern Orthodox themselves have less congregants going OTD than the Chassidim, but they support the organizations that help Chassidim move away from any form of Judaism.
This is my biggest gripe with the Modern Orthodox movement. They financially support UJA, who fnancially support “F”.
