I “heard” in the name of Satmar Rebbe zy”a that there are only [or will only be (when moshiach comes)] 6000 erleche yidden in the world [or in eretz yisroel].
Now without debating the accuracy of such a statement, nor debating the value of such a statement even if indeed having been taught by the Satmar Rebbe. My question for you, @yaakov-yosef-a, is simply if you would be bothered by that fact?
Would you be surprised? worried? Claim it impossible?
I, personally, have no issue with that consideration as most of the upstanding normal Jews of all colors I know are full of heresy from top to bottom.
I beg you to please, if you respond to my question, explain if this aligns with your view on the masses of secular reshoyim that claim the title “jewish” while claiming they don’t keep shabbos.
Unfortunately it seems that many people would rather ignore what the Torah teaches it really means to be part of klal yisroel, what the real acceptance criteria are for Olam Habu (which may be as strict as rejection from even one intentional sin l’teyuvon without doing real tshiva), and instead they would rather feel better relying on questionable if not heretical Torah claims or relying on questionable if not heretical “rabbunim”, all to avoid personally doing tshiva.
