The Fracture Within: When Klal Yisrael Feels Like Two Nations
As Israel fights for its survival, the divide between the Charedi community and the rest of Klal Yisrael is growing more painful by the day. While soldiers are sent to the front three to four times over due to manpower shortages, Charedi leaders are planning a “Yom Atzeira”—a mass disruption of roads and public life—as if civil disobedience were a sacred war.
But what war are they fighting?
Two weeks ago, a Charedi soldier—a father of two—took his own life in Beit Shemesh. His widow publicly blamed the Charedi leadership for failing to support him, failing to honor his sacrifice, failing to even acknowledge his pain. This wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a betrayal.
We are watching soldiers return home broken, some driven to suicide, while others are met with silence or scorn from the very community they come from. The disconnect is no longer philosophical—it’s existential.
Rav Shternbuch recently declared, “We are now going out to war.” (see video below) But this isn’t a war against injustice. It’s a war against empathy. Blocking roads and burning garbage bins isn’t resistance—it’s abandonment. It’s turning your back on the widows, orphans, siblings, and parents who are living the cost of this war every single day.
Rachel Goldberg, the widow of Rabbi Avi Goldberg hy”d, is getting remarried tonight. Her resilience is a quiet act of defiance against despair. While some disrupt, she rebuilds. While some shout, she heals.
This is not a call to erase difference. It’s a plea to remember that Klal Yisrael is one body. When one limb is wounded, the whole body aches. And when one limb refuses to feel, the whole body begins to rot.
It’s time for the Charedi leadership to ask itself: What kind of war are we fighting—and who are we leaving behind?

While DIN plans to disrupt the entire oylam hayeshivos hakedoishim with his IDF fantasies there are chassunos of bnei Torah who will bleib in kollel

The kollel lifestyle is not sustainable, and it is already collapsing under its own weight.If you live in Eretz Yisrael you must go to work. According to the Zohar thats where the meraglim went bad, they didn't want to work, they wanted to sit and learn, but that is NOT what Hashem wants! You cannot have an entire segment of the population refuse to serve and work.
It’s interesting to note, that the Kollel for life model is NOT “old country” and only became invented in the new-world social welfare benefit system.
Just some examples: Kovner Kollel, before that yungerleit in Volozhin, before that the talmidei Vilna Gaon, etc, There is even a Chazal that the Tanna Rebbi Shaul realized he made a mistake by going to work so he went back to full time learning
the Kovner Kollel? In its peak had roughly about 300 students depending on the zman !
"Rabbi Shaul realized he made a mistake by going to work so he went back to full time learning?"
What a crazed example...
99% of all Frum Jews worked full time from when Yehoshua went into Eretz Yisrael until the Litvishe guys who refuse to work decided to make up a new minhag as an excuse to live off others!
So now Chazal are "Crazed". Thanks for admitting where you stand
I said that your "Example is crazed" now I know that your are a Shoiteh!
The example is himself a member of Chazal - yetzt veisst men that YOU'RE a Koifer!

I see that you don't even know the definition of what "koider" means... your mother is a"Koifer" that should give you a shtikil hint!
