I really don't remember a more humiliating, cynical, and exploitative event than the current fundraising campaign of the Olam HaTorah Foundation for the seminary girls.
In the past day, we've received calls: 5 from my building,. 10 from nearby buildings Each call more embarrassing than the last, but they have no choice—they were given a target of 4,200₪ per girl, the social pressure is unreasonable, and nothing will stop them.
What about tznius? Is having a teenage girl call random men, ok?
Are they so desperate that they have to recruit high school girls, who come from large families and are busy helping in their homes, to force them to start schnorring?
What is going on?

Forgive me, but I haven't calmed down from this event yesterday. There's something particularly cruel about this event.
Thousands of seminary girls are gathered in a hall to prepare them for a fundraising operation for the World of Torah Fund. They are now required to go out and make up from the public's pockets the money that the yeshivas lost as a result of the recruitment crisis.
And they know very well why they're turning specifically to the girls.
These are girls who were raised from a young age that the holiest and most important thing is Torah study and supporting Torah scholars. The entire life path offered to them is built around this idea: learn a profession, go out to work, support a household, and allow the husband to sit and learn. Now, they're taking that same indoctrination and applying it to turn them into fundraisers too.
In my eyes, this is cult-like behavior.
This is a system that stops seeing the people living within it as ends in themselves and sees them as resources for its own preservation. The boys need to study. The women need to work so that the men can study. The voters need to vote as they're told. And now the seminary girls also need to go out and raise money when the model runs into a crisis.
There's not even an attempt here to ask what's fair to demand from these girls. They're the most available resource, the most disciplined, and the one most filled with ideological motivation, so they're being used too.
This is one of the ugliest outcomes of a society that has spent years indoctrinating its children around one supreme goal: at the moment of truth, they can be mobilized for almost anything in the name of that goal
סלחו לי, אבל לא נרגעתי מהאירוע הזה אתמול. יש משהו אכזרי במיוחד באירוע הזה.

אלפי בנות סמינרים מכונסות באולם כדי להכין אותן למבצע גיוס כספים עבור קרן עולם התורה. הן נדרשות עכשיו לצאת ולהשלים מכיסי הציבור את הכסף שהישיבות איבדו בעקבות משבר הגיוס.
והם יודעים מצוין למה הם פונים… https://t.co/QjWi6GniMI

I thought the exact same thing and more when I heard about this. It’s so bad on so many levels. The speaking on the phone with unknown people who can say whatever they want to these girls. The environment in the call center. The pressure on the girls to produce and their feelings about themselves if they don’t make their goals. Not to mention that they are being taken away from their own studies and growth. This is disgusting on so many levels
If this is true ? Then the oilam Hatora has gone completely insane
I can't believe that someone even thought that is what the Ribono shel olam wants from our precious innocent Bnos Yisroel
and that our GEDOLIM agreed this .
This is totally against our Mesora
Where are our CHACHOMIM. Who thinks this is a smart thing to do and will solve our problems !
Maybe the next step will be to send all the Seminary girls to protest and sit in front of busses and stop the traffic.
WOW ! I am blown away by this stupidity and lack of basic understanding what the Torah wants from us.
Is this what they can think of on Aseres y'mei teshuva.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Where is your Bitochein ?
Why not gather them and tell them that they should daven for Rachmei Shomayim for they are truly the backbone of Klall Yisroel and the G'eula will come in the Z'chus of Noshim
Tzadkoniois
More tzniusdig to have the girls work in boiler-room back-office fraud operations than to have them go into The Oldest Profession. If left unchecked, the Olam HaTorah Foundation's campaign will inevitably deteriorate to one of these if not both.

Wow! 30,000 girls strong listening to their Rabbonim without delay or questioning.! What a Kiddush Hashem! Hashem is so proud of them, not of the few disgruntled idiots (male and female) who can't hack the idea of girls showing a willingness to contribute their time to protect people who learn Torah.
FYI, they had a girls event in Bell Works a few months ago where multitudes of girls signed up to make phone calls for Keren Olam Hatorah. I don't think we heard a peep form you and your cronies, so you either didn't care and you're full of BS now or you're just clueless!
It's a cult. Anyone who can't see this simple fact is up to their eyeballs in it. Sending these poor brainwashed kids out to be schnorrs whilst the fat old enablers instructing them fill their faces and sit in chairs of honour?
This is abuse. Simple abuse. In the name of the 'bnei teyreh'. No wonder Moshiach is a million miles away when we've fallen so far that they think this is a mitzvah. Sickening cultish behaviour. And some shmuk above is justifying ity because the girls 'were happy'. Of course they are...that's the nature of a cult: When you do the work of the cult leader, however perverted, you think its a mitzvah, Were a couple of hundred years away from year 6,000. How are these perverts going to explain away why Moshiach decided to abandon us? The Zionists???? Or their own perversions?
Facts!
They should all go to the army, and not be with random men!
