Hopefully Israel can eradicate the blight upon mankind that is racism.

I keep hearing asheknazi charedim talk about a "yiddishe taam" in food, music or other cultural memes, but this "yiddishe taam" about which they speak is really nothing more than a recent adaptation of german, polish or slavic customs.

“ Did you ever think that the "less observant" children could possibly learn from the more observant children? Years ago in Torah Vodaath children from various backgrounds attended the same classes.

“ and thats take the reason some went off because even some from not frum became rosh yeshivah, there were plenty from frum homes who befriended students from not frum homes and of coures went to thier homes and saw what a frum child should not see ,could be TV, comics, and who knows what..and went off the derech ”

“ TV has never caused anyone to go off the derech. Those who were solidly on it never watched even when they had the opportunity (or watched once, figured out it's narishkeit, and never watched again). Those who were on their way off would have found a way even without friends who had TVs. ”

“ Sorry, Millehouse, but what you are saying is pure drivel, because it avoids facing the obvious reality. For 18 years this school was "mixed". Then they separated out the "frenkim", put up a wall within the school building to separate the scum from the madelach, dressed them in separate uniforms, put up a fence in the school yard, etc. My kids went to Bais Yaakov schools. With the boys I saw no racism. In my daughter's school there was constant pressure on the hanhalah from parents to keep out as many frenkim as possible. It is a known reality in the girls' schools. A frenk is a frenk is a frenk. Ehrliche yidden (actually it was mostly the mothers, not the fathers) don't want their heilige daughters associating with frenks. I was seen as a weirdo by some of the mothers because in spite of my acceptable outward appearance I had no problem with frenkim sitting next to my daughter. ”

“ Due to living conditions in Europe for the past 1000+ years, Ashkenazi Jews are, in general, terrified of the world around them. They have been persecuted so long that there is a deep-rooted fear of ANYTHING that might lead them from their chosen version of Torah. They have become extremely insular, even to the point of fearing other Jews.

On the flip-side, the Arab world was, relatively speaking, extremely tolerant of Jews. The extreme, violent form of Islam one sees today is relatively modern. Non-European Jews never gained this fear of outsiders, and thus are more tolerant of those around them.

Ashkenazim see tolerance as a weakness, a character flaw. They have perverted Torah to match their beliefs. ”

Are you scared of avoda? Someone who has a desire to steal and doesn't steal because he's being watched or feels bad to, is still a thief (if he's ever stolen). Until a person reaches a level where he doesn't want to steal because it's not his, he has done no avoda, and all he is a standby thief, waiting for a time when he's not being watched or he feels it's properly worth his while to steal.
Similarly, if you have a desire to waste your time with the utter rubbish on TV then you're still a shmerel. Wanting to watch and not having one is simply a way of avoiding the avoda at hand.
It says "teach your child to swim" not keep him away from the water, when people stop trying to control the way everything happens and leave that to HaKadosh Baruch Hu and then focus on the avoda that they should be doing, maybe then we'll start getting close to the geula. ”
