I give up. It is clear that however justified the concentration on Toeivah ( as commonly applied here) issues might be, many people here and in our communities are happy to live in blissful ignorance of or denial of so many more pertinent and pressing problems to our communities, problems that the Torah expects us to address, but we have conditioned ourselves to say “what can I do? Its behind closed doors” or “Its not like we praise them or anything.” We do business with them. We buy their products or services. We invest our savings with them. We give them aliyos in our shuls. We take their donations for our mosdos even if the funds were ill gotten.
Maybe when the Torah describes such things as Toeivah, it isn’t even talking about their transgressions. Maybe it is talking about the way our communities deal with them. Maybe that is the real abomination.
