So Who Is To Blame?

It's not the Israelis, ie the chilonim. The Israeli government doesn't paint exaggerated pictures of life in Israel. They don't romanticize the place. They don't minimize the struggles or glamorize them. They don't promise that you'll just 'pick up' the Hebrew.

It is, I'm so sorry to say, frum people who are the culprits. It is they who live in a dream. It is they who push you and guilt you and make wild promises about all the help you'll get when you come here. I could call them liars but I think mostly they are just plain delusional. Torah observance need not be fantastical. One can observe the Torah while being practical and rational. However, many observant people do not practice it that way. They live in fantasy. They live in delusion. They are delusional about the world and about themselves. It is sad to watch. But to be the victim of it is much worse than sad. It can be tragic.

I'm not talking about all religious people. Indeed, many American rabbis will tell you not to come here, not with older kids. But heaven help you if you latch on to the loonies who don't think much about the welfare of children, they care much more about their ideologies. Children are fed to the ideologies as in an Aztec ritual.

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

Apikorsis in Eretz Yisroel

But today, we live in an atmosphere of  kefirah  [denial]. The whole world is  kefirah  today. And today, to get  emunah   peshutah  it is not easy at all. If a person says "I have  emunah   peshutah ," it means he is just dodging his responsibility, when you have to work to get  emunah , he's looking for a  teretz  [excuse] to get out of it, that's all.  Emunah   peshutah  today is very, very rare. If you're born into a very  frum  family, you get a certain degree. But even then, from the street it comes into the house, we don't realize. Once you come into America, or you come into England or Holland, or into Eretz Yisroel today, you should know, you're soaking in  apikorsus . Even the  fruma , under the skin, they have no  emunah  at all, a very thin veneer. You have to work hard, you must labor to get  emunah  today. It's very important to listen to these lessons, and ma...
