I was thinking over this whole Beit Shemesh brouhaha and I am wondering, will anything change? Now that the extremist action has been brought to light, will there be a change of attitude or at least a change of action? Or has this whole Chillul Hashem happened for nothing and things will go right back to the status quo?
Is anything being done to use this situation as a springboard towards developing more sensitivity towards those who are less religious and towards women in general?
The whole situation is so disheartening! Our people have a lot to learn. It’s so sad to see such sinas chinam. Will we ever learn? Have we learned anything yet?
it was brought up in our chumash class today and were learning abt the whole rebellion of korach so i think that says something…just because someone is a yid unfortunately does not always mean they are doing the right thing i hope it calms it down but sadly media does not usually helps these situations but hurts them
I’m getting tired of this already.
Regardless of what anyone does, there will always people finding ways to put down the “Chareidi” community.
It’s a silly, moot point. Stop actively condemning. Just have some shtoltz, live your own life, and don’t feel guilty about the fact that there are a few lunatics somewhere doing something wrong that you cannot prevent in any way.
The only reason one would get so involved is because one accepts the absurd premise that somehow their actions reflect on who we are. How stupid. Just ignore those bigots.
Next…
Everybody listen to yitaynigwut.
Charedi bashing? This is crazy bashing.
WIY –
Nothing will change. No condemnation will change anyone’s minds. I accept that some form of condemnation is necessary if only to disassociate ourselves from these people for political reasons, but a one paragraph public statement should suffice. For us regular people, there’s nothing we can do anyway, and dwelling on it and feeling guilty is silly and only playing into the hands of some very cynical, hypocritical, and bigoted people.
What I found ironic was that at the Chareidi protest against discrimination (where they had folks dressed in concentration camp uniform), they had thousands of protesters. And it was all male. Yet at the Daati protest in RBS a few days earlier against the kanoyim, they only had a few hundred protesters even thought they allowed a mixed crowd. What do you attribute the Chareidim’s ability to bring out far greater numbers?
No, I’m afraid nothing will change since everyone thinks they are right.
