I find it disheartening that one can tell what a persons beliefs and hashkafos are by his or her address.
I understand that in order to preserve the values that are precious to them, people find it necessary to create their own ghettos. But it creates a situation where other Jews, Torah Jews, Shomer Shabbos Jews, dedicated believing Jews, become almost as foreign to as, say, Swedish goyim.
This is not a criticism of Charedim, Datiim Leumiim, Modern Orthodox etc. It is merely a commentary on the "State of the Union" in the Torah world where there is precious little unity.
Something to ponder as we come close to the three weeks and Tisha B'av.
ויש להאריך ועוד חזון למועד בל"נ בעז"ה.
