    It’s a societal problem that people in the yeshivish world like to make believe isn’t happening among Jews or how prevalent it is. It’s happening to Jews of all background..

    You mean in my opinion? Well, my opinion is not important. But anyway, this gentleman asks what should we say about the Neturei Karta in Eretz Yisroel -about the shitah – the derech of the Neturei Karta in Eretz Yisroel? Now that’s a question for which I am not suited. The truth is that the Neturei Karta have choshuveh talmidei chachomim among them. But it’s true that among those who are not Neturei Karta there are also very choshuveh talmidei chachomim. So you really want me to stick my little head between them – between Rav Amram Blau, zul’zein gezunt, and between, let’s say, Rav Chaskel Abramsky, who’s not Neturei Karta?! Or HaRav Shach, the Rosh Yeshiva in Ponovizh. He’s also not Neturei Karta.
    In general, though, we must know that there is no question that almost everything that is fundamental is germane to all of them – to all of our Torah leaders. They really have the same ideas. They just differ on minor points. The truth is that these points are very minor. Like someone once said, and he was right, “All yeshiva people, all over the world, are really Neturei Karta.” It means that we all agree with the Neturei Karta – the only question is should we do exactly this or that. For example, when it comes to voting, some Gedolim say that we should vote in the elections in Eretz Yisroel in order to give more power to the Orthodox – to the Agudas Yisroel party. And others say that by voting you are signifying your consent to the atheistic regime. So this – and other minor points – are delicate questions and it is up to greater people than me to decide.

    But in general, we have to know, that more or less, everyone is in agreement. Among the good element everybody is in agreement.

    Ever consider changing your approach or what you’re looking for? You need to find things in your life that bring you happiness and personal feelings of success so that you have positive things to share about yourself on dates. It’s not easy but there are ways to do better for yourself.

    You’re right. Some people in what they call MO Machmir or YU Right Wing have woken up to the Avlah and choose to either go to Landers or CUNY and learn at a mainstream Yeshiva at night morning or both. Unfortunately til today YU is seen as the standard for much of MO. Is it better that these kids whose parents leave them little choices how to spend their post HS or Israel years at an away fully goyish college or better to go to YU and at least have a kesher with a Rav?

    Technically the Baal Shem Tov didn’t follow the mesorah of his predecessors. There was a cherem on Chasidim because of a concern that it’ll lead to a new Sabbatean movement. Mods this is fact in case you want to hide the truth.

    Just like there are different kav within the yeshiva Velt, such is the way within MO. Some follow the teachings of holy Yidden like R Moshe Feinstein, R YB Soloveitchik, and Rav Herschel Schechter and some follow Rabbi Dr Norman Lamm. The more Zionist leaning MO follow Rav Kook. R Kook and R Soloveitchik all learned in Litvish Yeshivas.

    Charedim don’t believe in Kollel for a whole entire life. Take a look at Flatbush Lakewood and Passaic there are many yeshivish Baal Habatim who make time to learn every day and are very successful.

    EEEE but it is. Even the righter wing of Teaneck just isn’t connected with the rest of the Torah world. Their only frame of reference when it comes to Rabbanus are mainly YU rabbis; they couldn’t name you the top yeshivas in America and their roshei yeshiva. The only way it will truly grow is if they get connected to the rest of the Torah world like Passaic does for example.

    “Making a public school explicitly Christian is slam dunk establishing a religion. I don’t get how that’s even being questioned.”

    Ten Commandments doesn’t make it establishing a religion; they’re values. They teach evolution too. You’re the one who’s moving the goalposts around by saying that it establishes religion when it doesn’t. Religious ideas or expression aren’t establishing a religion.

    “Isolated MO cities. The observance there is largely at the mercy of the abilities and circumstance of some rabbi many years ago.”

    Teaneck is a large isolated MO city the debate applies here to. Very rare that a Rav not from YU gets hired by these shuls. The Rabbonim on the “right” are hush about certain things lest there be any backlash. If there’s any attempt to raise the standards of observance in the shuls, there will be backlash.

    The origin of the expression “separation of church and state” is found in a letter from Thomas Jefferson written to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. The Danbury Baptist Association had written a letter to the president voicing their concern that their state constitution lacked specific protections of religious freedom.

    The Danbury Baptists wrote in the letter, “what religious privileges we enjoy (as a minor part of the State) we enjoy as favors granted, and not as inalienable rights. And these favors we receive at the expense of such degrading acknowledgments, as are inconsistent with the rights of freemen.”

    Jefferson responded to the Danbury Baptists by referencing the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.

    “I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State,” Jefferson said.

    The metaphor of a “wall of separation” was not intended to say that religion should not influence opinion on government issues. Rather, it was used to affirm free religious practice for citizens.

    Separation of church and state” is a metaphor paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson and used by others in discussions regarding the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”

    Neville separation of church and state is based on a letter Ben Franklin wrote that the courts used to destroy religion in the US. True statement.

    Expression of religion isn’t establishment. Also true statement. Expression of religion is protected by the first amendment. Both of these have been destroyed by the Democrats you probably vote for.

    Separation of church and state isn’t a constitutional amendment. Ten commandments in a school isn’t establishing a religion. Religion can be expressed in schools just like they celebrate various Christian and Muslim holidays.
