cantoresq,
“The Rav zt”l said it the the best when he decided to leave the Agudah and join the Mizrachi. He said that gedolim of the Agudah repreented the glorious but fading Jewish past.”
With all due respect to R’ Soloveitchik Ztz”l, anyone who doesn’t now see that the Mizrachi movement is dying a quick death while the glorious tradition of chareidi jewry is growing by leaps & bounds is either living in a cave or in Bellvue.
All the other Gedolim have been proven correct.

1. Let’s see how well that glorious tradition weathers the current economic crisis. I’ve heard of kollelim unable to pay the avreichim. People are starving as a result of that “glorious tradition.” 2. In what way is religious Zionism dying? As far as I can tell it’s thriving. Hesder yeshivot continue to flourish. As opposed to the daily appeals I get from this chareidi mossad or that chareidi kollel, I have yet to hear of a single dati leumi institution suffering in this economy. Other institutions associated with religious zionism like Bar Ilan University are doing well, enrollments are up. The Dati Leumi community continues to produce high level scholarship from places like the Mossad Harav Kook, Machon Meir, Zomet etc. Where is the quick death to which you allude?
