Reply To: Going off the Derech

crisisoftheweek-it’s funny, but from your post, it sounds like you are a bit jaded against the Haredim. Yet you have the same judgemental attitude that this RY had. What makes you think that my son would complain about ‘problems’ at home? And do you think my son is a ticking time bomb, or are you only pointing fingers?

If I thought you or anyone else would use my experience as an opportunity to look down upon the Haredim, I would stop posting. As much as I am pained about my son not having been given a fair chance, I do not condemn the entire Haredi population. Nobody’s perfect, not in the Haredi world and not in the secular world. I only talk about these things here, so that perhaps, the ‘right’ people will read them. Then, maybe we can begin to make the corrections that need to be made, and prevent more yiddishe neshamos from going OTD…
