I know people who have gone to Meir Shearim and while dressed tzniut for their community were not dressed for Meir Sharium standards and were harassed by the Sikirum.
genenerally they enforce the standards on their own people and its not always true people are doing it for the love of the Mitzvah, Some do out of fear.

I read the aricle from YWN, the names listed are Yair Lapid, MK Aryeh Deri, Minister Yaakov Peri, Minister Naftali Bennett, and MK Elazar Stern .
Except for Aryeh Deri none are from Charedi Parties
@Health In non-charedi communities the lay people would come out regardless what the leadership says and the leadership would then come out against as well
In the Charedi communities the lay people very rarely come out without rabbinic approval. I think most people understand this. Thats why people expect the Rabbinic leadership to come out against it. And more so in Israel when the Rabbanic leadership does make statements on more general issues.
The difference between Charedi and Non-Charedi communities is very apparent in this incident.
The charedi communities are more homogeneous and want much more solidarity than non-charedi communities.
In general (but not always) you cant even join a charedi community if you dress differently. However the other communities there is much less uniformity.
Citizens of Tel Aviv relate to each other very differently than citizens of Bnei Brak. I describe it exactly but it is different.
Charedi communities tend to like the uniformity .
Thats why poeople might demand the Rabbis condem such actions but would not demand the same from the mayor of Tel Aviv for a mugging
There is really no such thing as a community anymore except maybe Kiryat Joel and New Square and maybe Williamsburg.
Everywhere else including Borough Park is a hodgepodge of comminities
Yiddish is not spoken today.
I dont know what they speak in certain communities , but its not Yiddish.
Im not sure you really want this.
Its been asked many times about issues like Ramat Beis Shemesh why the Rabbanim havent dont anything.
If they “enforce” tzniut, One should expect them to stop the Zealots in RMS and Meir Sharim. One should expect them to control the abusers. One should expect them to control other scandals that have rocked us lately

There is a famous Frum Actress Mayim Bialik
Benjamin Franklin cuz he’s on the hundred dollar bill
Personally I prefer Salmon P. Chase.
If you have any pictures of him on some green paper, Ill take them all
You can get houses for under $100,000 3 hours from Brooklyn
Scranton, PA
Shelo Asani Isha is not biology
Biology,
That is not apikorsus. It’s is idiotic and halachically problematic but not apikorsus.
If the study how plants and Animals reproduce and grow is a Problem, then we would never know such things as how to grow enough food and studying cures for diseases
BTW I think the OP was also referreing to
On the other side, you have those who work within the “orginized community”, and interface between the community and its leaders. These are the “Gaboim”, “convincers” and “Hockers”, who push the leaders of the community to do things they would not have done otherwise. They create a layer of separation between the leaders and the people, and those are the problem.
And not Hatzalah, Tomche Shabbos and Misakim
GAW I think you decribed it best.
I was always told Hatzalah, Tomche Shabbos and Misaskim were more Tzdekahs not Askans
An Askan as I was told is

EVD stands for Eugene V Debs , he was a socialist. he ran for president in 1912 on an anti-war campaign and got 6% of the vote
It actually was a conservative answer
Marriage was always controled by the states not the federal government, Take it up with Albany not the Supreme Court if you want the law changed.
The California Prop 8 wasnt decided at all, they just decided they litigants didnt have legal standing as was ruled by a lower court. Again dont like the law take it up with Sacramento or make another citizen prop
It might be that some askanim do good things
However the possible poisoning of many situations There are others that you can think of that wont be named here have far been worse than any good they might have done
Without getting into the Rav Stav , Rav Yosef affair to far.
I was told a list of controversial poskenings of Rav Stav was published and passed around and out of context they looked bad. However upon further review they were reasonable.
They are murmurings that askanim gave these Pskaks out of context to Rav Yosef
We all know the Vilna Gaon put chassidim in Cherem .
I think we all also know that the Baal Shem Tov was a great Tzadik as were many of the early like Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev. (They were all Tzadikkim)
Have you ever wondered why the Vilna Gaon put them in cherem.
An Askan is an advisor
An Askan went to the Vilna Gaon and told him he saw a Chassid eating on Tshia B’av with a female on his lap.
The Vilna Gaon then declared Chassdim Apikorsus and put them in Cherem.
The Askan DID NOT tell the Vilna Gaon the the Female was his grandaughter and it was Shabbos Tsha B’av (When eating is permitted)
No matter how you want to spin it Most do not hold by the Eidah
My yeshiva called me for a donation. I told them they did not support my ambition to work then so I will not support them now either since my money should be considered treif and donating would be considered Mitzvah Bo Bavayrah.
I have heard similar stories to this and many times the persons reaction was similar
Everybody is different. Different people need differnt paths in life.
There is no correct path for everyone. For some people the Kollel path is the correct way and for others trade path and others College and then a profession.
You cant paskin from an internet blog and say one rav is correct or incorrect without knowning the individual
egalitarian means men and women equally
NK were expelled from Satmar
Meeting with abedinejad and denying the holocaust was too much for most of their leadership

If you are willing to go a little further
Try Mt Marcy in the Adirondacks, Highest Mountain in NY. Its near Lake Placid
Delaware Water Gap
DaMoshe
Thats what I heard as well
Adelson’s money mostly comes from a Casino in Macau. I doubt many jews gamble in Macau
In general the Non-Chassidish Charedi world is led by Litvish Rabbanim because thats who survived the Holocaust.
Rav Aharon Kotler in the US and Rav Kahaneman at Ponovitch in Israel.
“How many frum institutions were built with money from people like Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel”
In the bialystock synagogue there is a memorial Plaque to Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel right below his father Max Siegel.
It seems Rav Moshe did allow the honoring of Non-Jews at dinner for things they did in the past (ie Righteous Gentiles)
You have to look up all the sources including more contemporary ones
Im sure the Tur and the S”A never thought that a Non-jew like Wallenberg would deserve more respect than a Jew like Madoff
Who votes for the Chief Rabbi is it a public election or is it voted on by the Kenssett or some other body?
There was an article and letter in one of the jewish newspapers (I think it was Mispacha, but I could be wrong)
Apparently many of the bochrim wish to earn a few dollars during bein hazmanim. The writer lamted that such holy angels should not be lowered to work for a few extra dollars.
Frankly sometimes is not even Halacha, Its just presentation
A Chiloni just might feel more comforatable with a Rabbi who speaks Hebrew with an Israeli Accent as opposed to a Yiddish accented hebrew. And the Hebrew accented on might speak to them in a matter they are accustomed to in their venacular. (as opposed to constantly quoting posukim and talking indirectly)
We should allow them to produce mamzerim (whose grandchildren might marry mine and yours)?
Rav Moshe was generally very Makil on these issues when dealing with non-religious people. In some cases he probably made a bit of a stretch to prevent mamzeros. (Ie he claimed the Aidim werent kosher)
Why don’t you question why the syntax of Modern Hebrew is European, not Hebrew?
It’s the same reason. People use the syntax of their first language.
Because when one speaks english, one should use the proper syntax of english.
Since modern hebrew was basically re-invented and there was no syntax, the syntax of European languages was used
My understanding it was written by a Yeshiva guy on Purim
I think it has something to do with Yiddish, I think Yiddish is spoken that way and when the Jews came to the US they just adopted that grammar to english
In case you hadnt heard it, the joke in the song is that the “averiahs” arent really averiahs, they are chumras like skipping Rabbenu Tams teffillin one day
Because, in fact, the status if the marriages, divorces, and conversions of thousands of Jews lay in their hands.
The problem is you can be a makel ,Machmir or chumra machmir. When dealing with Chilonim (and I mean non-religious people as opposed to anti-religious) you have to treat them differently. many Chilonim might very well up to a religious wedding, but it doesnt mean they want to go overboard. Charedi control of the wedding beraeu has caused approx 20% of Israelis to marry in Cyprus. Exactly what was accomplished by being machmir?
Being Machmir doesnt always get your desired results
The Chief Rabbis is for the Chilonim and the government not for the Charedim
No matter who the Chief Rabbi is the CHaredim will look to their own Rabbis. Ger to the Gerrer Rebbe, Belz to the Belzer Rebbe, Litvaks to Rav Shteinmen, the Sefardim to Rav Yosef etc.
Yet you and your ilk insist that Rashi’s daughters wore tefillin.
Yeah the talking fish told me they wore tefillin
