tahini -“Health, the upset of seeing a Jew break or misunderstand the laws of kashrut or tzniut are nothing compared to the pain of seeing Jews burning up with hatred and bitterness against each other, sorry if this is not seen as appropriate, but it is a deep rooted instinct within me, and I suspect many other Jews feel the same.”
But what you fail to understand is that the Charedim aren’t the ones burning up with hatred & bitterness -it’s e/o else towards the Charedim. If you realized this you wouldn’t be coming to YWN to post “how embarrassed you are”. You would go to the Jerusalem Post or Haaretz or something similar to post about your feelings.
Why do you think that the Charedim are “burning up with hatred & bitterness” because of the demonstrations against breaches of the Torah? This isn’t because of “burning up with hatred & bitterness”, this is because they flaunt their Freye ways in front of the Charedim. This is just a reaction to the provocation.
And you know I’m right because otherwise the Charedim would go to Tel Aviv everyday and yell and spit!
“If you see something inappropriate and cannot mediate gently or effectively, look away, if food is not kosher, do not eat, but to turn on to another person and cause them pain and fear is not acceptable to me. It is not mere embarrassment, it is a sense of foreboding and acute pain.”
The Charedim do and that’s why when they go to Tel Aviv or anywhere where a lot of Freye are, they aren’t yelling and spitting at every passerby. But you can’t expect them to turn the other cheek when you come next door to where they live and flaunt your Non-Torah behavior! (Look- no “U” in behavior -I’m not English.)
