The importance of the recent
news about the ________ (financial scandal/sex scandal/new chumrah)
in the hareidi world is not because of its impact on ___________(investors/victims/Jewish practice), but
because it shows the deeper flaws within hareidi society.
There is no other way to say it other than by
clearly stating that Judaism, as it is preached in those circles, does not
represent the true values of the Torah. In Hareidi circles, all of the power is
concentrated into the hands of ___________ (isolated rabbis/ambitious
politicians/zealous masses) as opposed to where it should be, concentrated
into the hands of ________________________ (scholarly rabbis/practical leaders/the larger community).
Hareidim claim to represent the
mesorah, but Judaism as it was practiced in Europe is _______ (irrelevant/much
more similar) to modern orthodoxy today. This is clear from the undisputable
fact that Jews in Europe would have had __________________ (no problem/a huge
problem) with ________ (mixed
seating/eating kitniyot/texting on Shabbos). Is it clear that the only way to
face our current challenges is to follow Judaism _____________ (as it really
was practiced/in a new way).
Halacha is __________ (meant/not meant) to
change radically. The dangers of ______________ (adding new rules/applying outdated rules) at the whims of ______isolated
rabbis/the general public) is self-evident.
In truth, most __________ (major
hareidi rabbis/common hareidim) agree with this sentiment, but they feel
threatened by the _____________ (major haredi rabbis/ common hareidim).
This became clear to me when I
heard an inspirational speech by Rabbi ____________________ (Nathan Lopes Cardozo/Dov Lipman/Rick Rubin).
Here was a man with __________________ (ordination
from a hareidi yeshiva/a beard/no agenda) who was not afraid to speak of the
flaws of his community. It took true bravery to say those things with which the
entire audience agreed.
It does us no service when we
view our Judaism, and our selves, as _________________________ (second
class/third rate/fourth place). As much
as it pains me to say it, it is time the Hareidi world owns up to its problems.
