Let’s face it, people are unwilling to acknowledge the tremendous work of the Agudah, because they can’t look in the mirror and explain why their own life didn’t see the success that it should have or could have. So instead of taking personal responsibility for their own failures they look to cast blame.

Blame the Yeshiva, the Rebbeim, their parents, their wife, their boss and of course society and in our community there is no more representative of society then the Agudah. Yes our problems are many. Poverty, unhappiness, lack of social status, jealousy,Shiduchim, keeping up with the Schwartz’s, etc… When things are not going well we all look for an easy target to scape-goat. Its disrespectful and Chutzpah to unload on Rabbonim but it seems easier and more palatable to knock and bash “the Agudah” instead.

How sad and pathetic. I have always maintained that if our organizations are strong we as a community are strong and vice versa. In order for that to happen, good people must step up to defend and support worthy organizations be it the Agudah or anything else and silence the critics.Until that happens we will keep seeing Agudah bashing no matter how much success and achievements are accomplished for the community.
