Reply To: What can Yeshivos and girls' schools do to prevent students' OTD feelings?

It’s not hard to believe. It’s human. Guess what? Rabbis have a hard time keeping Mitzvos too. It doesn’t mean they don’t believe in the religion. No-one ever said being Jewish was easy. Some people have an easier time learning, others have an easier time doing. It’s hard to see someone you respect doing the wrong thing. I remember discovering a Rabbi I really respect turned out to have a hard core addiction. We’re all human, with a Yetzer Hora. They say the bigger the Tzaddik, the bigger the Yetzer Hora.
