neuitquamerro- “which can get very problematic”. That statement is problematic. judging the way another jew proactice their relgion and connection to hashem is not for you to call problematic.
square root 2- I grew up modern and shifted to the right, although i dont think I qualify as charedi either as my open minded views from my upbringing are still with me. Modern orthodoxy is different than charedi, or yeshivish hashkafa because of the things that it stresses. If you look at the high school I went to, israel was a huge stress. not eretz yisroel, medinat yisroel. I learned about zionism and about rabbis who began the modern orthodox movement. We learned Torah, navi, halacha, we did learn gemara. Moden orthodoxy just has a more open view on the world, pushing its members to interact with the world around them, but not for the sake of “going off the derech”, rather their view is to use your skills as a frum jew and be or lagoyim. Yes, there has been alot of skewing, a lack of tznious and that comes with going over a slippery slope. This is why charedis try to cut it out completly, or as much as they can. They do not want to get to that slippery slope. chareidim keep their lives revolved around Torah.
The problem of this conversation is that because chareidim r protrayed as the ones who live revovling around Torah, which is emes, and its beautiful, MO people get looked upon as not frum which is so wrong.
It is important to keep into perspective that they r just as much frum as you are, and you can label anyone you want, they simply serve hashem in a different way than you, and thats ok. Everyone serves hashem differently, there is NO problem. If someone has a problem then they should be working on their ahavas yisroel a little more…
