    @HaKatan @ujm
    You both had similar statements about how the IDF is trying to force chareidim to become goyim.
    I don’t want to argue with the claim necessarily because I believe it’s true on certain levels. but I do want to point out that despite all the rhetoric the situation is certainly exaggerated. Any chareidi who lives in israel and sees the reality of the situation understands the nuance of the situation. I have chareidi friends who went to the army who are in chareidi units and non-chareidi units. Every single one I know, is still strongly religous and isn’t faltering anytime soon. I know it’s hard to try to argue against all the loud voices speaking out against the IDF and how serving in it is so “evil”, but just know there is real talmidei chachamim that supported it, although a minority. I think maybe a less black and white outlook of the situation can allow some sort of understanding, or maybe not.
    Thank you for your responses and feedback guys!

    100% I think that your anecdote of being shut down for your criticism of Chabad perfectly exemplifies the condition that I’m saying. This rhetoric of labeling someone as hateful for valid critique is the modern poison of our generation. May Hashem bring healing to our people soon.

    1. All the people saying modern hebrew is “nothing like lashon hakodesh” are just showing their ignorance and obviously don’t speak a word of modern hebrew.
    2. Mishnah berurah forbids reading secular books on shabbos but makes an exception for “lashon hakodesh” because it helps a person learn torah better since it improves his understanding of the language (In O”CH 307). It takes 5 seconds of research to find out that this exception also applies to modern hebrew according to many poskim since it also helps learning torah (similar grammar, same roots) although there is some debate among modern poskim, and this only applies to people who aren’t fluent in modern hebrew.
    3. Modern hebrew is quite literally based of lashon hakodesh the roots are the same, the grammar is the same, how is it possible to say it’s forbidden? because it was developed largely in part by secular people? Because it’s used by the “zionist state”? People in america can’t read a chumash without a translation, I find that far more troubling than learning modern hebrew and actually being able to read without studying for 10 years as a prerequisite or relying on translations that inherently differ from the original text out of neccesity.

    Do you think if you walked into a shul during the time of the tannaim in basketball shorts and an “I’m with Idiot ?” T-shirt that is four sizes too small, they would just let you in without a problem? No, they would grab you by the neck and drag you out.

    Trump has jewish grandchildren, his daughter is jewish. Leftists are consistently the perpetrators of anti semitism in america today.

    I saw this program a while back. It’s about $100 a month, but the test rules are very strict, and it’s only for married guys iirc.
