<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in considering how different
communities act , it seems that the basis
could be summed up as follows [ though i
don't doubt others will correct where i have it wrong].</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in chassidish communities there
are two issues. one is the idea of klippa and tumah
, maybe the center of the whole derech of chassidus--tuma and tahara.
adjunct to this is maase avos . </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in litvish communities the
ideology can be simply summed up , talmud tora
kneged kulam.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">modern communities [as in MO] certainly
are not motivated by tuma/klippa issues. furthermore
, they would mostly see nittel as actually sociologic---</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">don't be learning tora in
places where one would be killed for this. in 21st
century western world , there are few locales where that
would be an issue.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">litvish communities would agree that
since there is no pikuach nefesh involved, it is like a gzeira
whose reasoning fell away...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">what i am not sure i understand
is why communities who believe that the world can't exist
even a moment without tora , and communities who
believe that the Klippa power could lead to unmitigated
disaster, why they are not vigourously agitating
the other communities to their derech.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and it's odd that there would be
an issue of such tantamount importance that half
of jewry [ ie eidot hamizrach ] wouldnt even have
known of the issue's existence......<br>
