1. I did not blame “the frummies” but the socialist mentality of “soaking the rich” and protektzia for “our people”.This has affected both the DL and Chareidi communities, with each giving it its own kvetch.Fortunately, this is changing and both groups will also change. MK Lipman and others like him along with the drying up of contributions from abroad due to the ongoing financial crisis.are only giving a counter-push to the extremists who idealize poverty and unemployment as “keeping the camp pure”
2. The vast majority of Chareidim who work work in low-paying “Chareidi” jobs such as BY teacher, melamed, etc.
3. While the older Chareidi neighborhoods indeed have substandard apartments the newer ones, such as Ramot and Ramat Bet Shemesh, have fairly nice ones.
