The State of Diaspora Orthodox Jewry

In a major center of so-called Orthodox Jews outside the land of Israel:

  • Men work a full day on Friday, park their cars as Shabbos arrives, then walk to shul by foot.
  • Boys and girls of all ages are given entirely unfiltered smartphones so “they are exposed to the world”.
  • Youth are sent to a papist Catheterlick (Catholic) prep school for a year before going on to college.

All of this is considered normal and in no need of change.
