Gavra: A Chareidi is someone who believes in the concept of deveikus. In other words, that God is literally connected with every Jew if we first connect ourselves with Him. Deveikus is what defines a Chareidi Jew, and it stands at the core of the motivation of Chareidim to fulfill mitzvos bain adam l’makom, have a relationship with Hashem, and keep away from movies etc. I believe that MO philosophy of Judaism does not include belief in this ‘Diveikus’ concept.
