Judaism and the Crisis Culture

I read some snag last week commenting that “BTs brought the culture of crisis into orthodoxy”. Hold it, the huge number if not the absolute majority of the orthodox in Israel and North America (for sure in Europe itself) are from the post Holocaust or post Gulag families. And the BTs brought in the crisis, really? But wait, the Judaism itself is the culture of crisis (heck they even manged to pass the crisis bug to the world through the one who suffered for our sins). What would you expect from a legacy in a perpetual survival mode? The Zionists understood that in a survival mode you shut down and can’t grow. They called this the Galut mentality.

Speaking about the “crisis culture”. So a friend says that most of the orthodox Jews know that the orthodoxy is bonkers, but they see no other option if they want to preserve their children as Jews. My question is at what point Jews turned into Hungarians? The Jews I know are the children of Abraham who smashed his father’s idols and became a man on his way away from home. The Jews I know are called Yisroel fighting with the angels. But somewhere along the long and terrible golus the proverbial Hungarian erev rav got mixed in and succeeded in redefining orthodoxy away from Judaism. That’s the real crisis. Next time someone tells me they pretend Orthodoxy for the sake of their children I send them to seek the services of Rabbi Tropper’s former racket, pants or no pants…
