    If you do not live in a Frum society, It is the best method. Otherwise you can be forced to do things you dont want to like go to church every sunday (This was not so rare in Europe)

    Meaning, ignoring the religious wrongdoing of others. Not correcting and informing of the wrongness of such.

    If not for that principle we could not remain religious in diaspora. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

    Within the halachic framework it is also a Jewish principle. For example, an Ashkenazi does not tell a Sephardi not to eat kitniot during Pesach.

    “I hope Joseph you will be correcting the Abusers , Tax cheats and other people who commit such averiahs”

    who says those Are aveirahs?

    Rehgarding Abusers and Tax cheats, Im sure Joseph says “Live and let live” He is only reffering to “ignoring the religious wrongdoing of others”

    Those two examples certainly are religious wrongdoings. And absolutely should be corrected with tochacha. There’s no reason in the world anyone reading any of this could conclude otherwise.

    That being said, just because some goyim or goyishe authorities accuse a Yid of any that, doesn’t mean it has even an iota of basis in reality.

    How many times must this argument be made on the CR? Can we just officially recognize it as the national slogan of the Modern Orthodoxy?

    Neville – how naive (and incorrect) of you to think that it is an MO thing to be sick of hearing Joseph speak as if we do no wrong?

    But more ironic are these to quotes of yours:

    “Can we just officially recognize it as the national slogan of the Modern Orthodoxy?”

    “Do people have nothing better to do than spread conspiracy theories about how …. people all think as one collective brain”

    Do they, indeed?
