Reply To: Is Israel bent on losing their protection?

rabbiofberlin -“If previous “churbonos” almost exclusively fell on the frum jews- then your premise of more Torah learning to protect the Jews is erroneous ,as the previous generations suffered immensely , in spite of their erudition and “frumkeit”.”

Your “logic” is faulty, because you have No proof that even more learning at that time wouldn’t have prevented those tragedies.

All you can prove was the amt. of learning at that time wasn’t enough to protect the Jews. Who said that had there been even more learning – it would still be not enough to prevent the tragedies? If you look in Chumash, like Bechukoysay, it says clearly Torah learning protects tragedies and not enough learning causes tragedies. Your Kashos on Massiyous don’t throw out the basic tenet. If you don’t like my Pshat that there wasn’t enough learning – then you can just say Hashem has exceptions to the rule. So even if you have Kashos -the rule doesn’t change!

Also, if you’re so against learning full time -how about Not supporting your kids in learning? This policy of yours reeks of hypocrisy.
