Boruch Hashem, both in Eretz Yisroel and Chutz Loaretz, there is major population growths. Soon, Eretz Yisroel will be mostly frum. The secular population have realized this and are scared of their boots. How does the coffee room see the practicalities of a frum majority?
Actually, the birth rate of the arabs in Israel is higher than the frum community. In time, the arabs will be the majority.
Baruch Hashem. We should continue as strong.
is it good that the secular community is scared of this? I don’t think so. What does the future hold for a country living in fear of their countrymen?
I don’t see how that benefits anyone living in Israel, frum or otherwise.
IY”H by me 😀
Ronsr, I don’t think they are scared. I think they are worried how financially it will work out, since the more religious you are in Israel, the more you generally rely on government services.
Having lots of children can be a blessing…but if you don’t care for them properly, it can turn into a big negative.
May moshiach come soon.
Amain.
I’m not sure this is going to happen. Birthrates have been high for 60 years but the Ashkenazic Charedi parties still have the same five seats in the Knesset as they had 60 years ago. There seems to be a lot of going off the derech.
Charlie – There was no Shas party at that time, and the immigration from the former Soviet Bloc was 99% non-frum. The Ashkenazi frum have still been growing by the numbers.

Charedim are less then half of the religious population in Eretz Yisrael. And even amoungst the Charedim, B”H the working population has grown to about 50%. Not true.
The leftist secular askenzai world is scared of anyone taking away their monopoly on Israeli power – hence, the merciless racism towards sephardim religious or not, Russian Olim (ask Lieberman & Aryeh Deri).
I think you are falling into their media trap.
And by the way…do you know what benefits they are referring to, or how much they cost?
I cannot understand why the growth of the frum population in EY should make the non-frum afraid of their footwear. The frum should be concerned about the relative shrinkage of the working population of the State of Israel – someone has to pay the taxes and serve in the IDF. Hashem put us in this world, in part, to provide for ourselves.
