@RabbiKolakowski @kneidelpig Not sure what "heretics" are but it's fewer than 8 million, and of those who "identify" as Jewish to pollsters a significant aren't halachically Yidden, and they're overwhelmingly left
87% of Orthodox Jews voted for Trump in 2024. Around 1 in 4 American Jews is Orthodox.
How long until Jewish Democrats start voting Republican? Or has it still not gotten bad enough?
@DoubleclickonX Pew's data is laughably flawed. In the 90s they pegged Orthodox at 9% and we've been doing nothing but pumping out babies since.
The survey is using models from the 90s when they also said 9% (and we've been averaging 6.4 children per family since). It's laughably wrong because I can show you breakdown of where the 1.3 - 1.5 million Orthodox live. And a significant percentage of who "identify" as Jewish in Pew aren't.
@LaibelWeiner Accept it, but also understand why it's happening.
@LaibelWeiner @shimijay I have a feeling you're not gonna like Gog U’Magog
@EHamiltonEsq More achdus, tzaddik. No machlokes. Please.
@AmYisraelChai_X That 9% relies on outdated models going back to the 1990s. It's more than double that now. Just in Lakewood, Brooklyn & Monsey is more than 9%.
@DoubleclickonX Internal polling. How many Orthodox Jews do you think live in the US?
@RabbiKolakowski How many Orthodox Jews live in the US? Take a wild guess...
ובהר ציון תהיה פליטה והיה קודש...
Serious conversations beginning over whether there is a future for Jews in the United States. Israel is in a dangerous neighborhood but it controls its own borders. Nobody voted for the kind of migration that allowed New York to go from Jewish capital to capital of antisemitism.
@MosesKahana We should learn Sefer Ovadia together.
Yes, it's time.
It’s time for Jews to leave New York. But it is not time to leave the Democratic Party in so far as your voter registration. If you live in a heavily blue district, DO NOT disenfranchise yourself and switch your registration. Register as a Democrat AND VOTE in primaries.
@MosesKahana I wish you were right. Nebech.
@MadeleineHubSch @jacklanger @FarroYossi And you're one of the best we've got!!
Public challenge for frum celebs and podcasters: Let's all follow the example set by @jacklanger and @FarroYossi, both of whom won over someone who was convinced he didn’t like us. I want to challenge every ehrliche Yid with a platform: find one person who’s hostile, suspicious or carrying around bad assumptions about Jews, and through charm, patience and a genuine Kiddush Hashem, flip him. Forget arguing with the internet. Go meet one person and surprise him with what a Yid actually looks and acts like.
@Oliver_Hoff255 @FrumTikTok @LucasGageX Thanks. As they say, it takes a village.
The strongest Kiddush Hashem usually starts at home, and so I completely agree with @jewishmemequeen's point. Now let's take this a step further. A. We can encourage people to do teshuva all day long, but people change most when they see change. Watching someone who once carried real hostility admit they were wrong and begin moving in a healthier direction becomes proof that each of us can do teshuva as well. Show don't tell. B. The Torah repeatedly draws a connection between the spiritual state of Klal Yisroel and any hate we face from the outside world. While that does not excuse Jew-hatred or remove responsibility from those who choose it, it does mean our first instinct should be inward reflection. Less "why do they hate us so much," and more "what does Hashem expect from us now." The closer we move toward Hashem and each other, the stronger, healthier and more resilient we become, and the less room there is for our enemies to define us or gain traction. Finally, if we accept that better Jews lead to weaker Jew-hatred, then when we see our enemies beginning to question their hatred or walk it back, that should motivate us to become even better Jews! So yes, let’s become even more welcoming, more patient and more accepting of Jews within our own communities who feel pushed out. Let's win both battles at once.
I feel like the orthodox community should focus on internal reform before chasing outreach on toxic outsiders. There is so much focus on Kiruv and Kiddush Hashem, yet every day more and more Jews are pushed away for being different. “The shoemaker’s children go barefoot.”
@MosheEcon @jacklanger @FarroYossi @LucasGageX @Awesome_Jew_ We must coach each other and learn from the successes of others. There aren't too many of us out there. I believe any Yid that's a baal middos and is living a life of teshuva should be able to handle this
@MosheEcon @jacklanger @FarroYossi @LucasGageX Note the words "ehrliche Yid"
