Reply To: Does the state really support Torah?

MTAB,
1. Who says that there were 4 million frum Jews in Europe before the Holocaust? The Yevsektziot put a stop to Jewish religious life in the Soviet Union. Poland had 3.3 million Jews, many of whom were non-observant and even anti-reliigous (e.g. the Bundists). Many of the frum were women and children. Germany only had half a million, most of whom were assimilated, as were many in Czechoslavakia and Romania.
2. Who says that DL men do not learn? DL men learn in many iunformal settings such as shiurim on the Internet.
