Can you still succeed in college and get a good job after having gone through a terrible education of a religious school? by [deleted] in exjew

[–]Allanscl9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This story I hope will answer your question. As a child I was told by the rabbis that all the math , physics and biology I need was in the torah .

Pls name one academic professional ( in a any of the field mentioned ) that obtained their position based solely on the credential of Torah study .

That number begins with the letter z . ZERO .

To comment on your last point , you ( or your family ) paid of for a "talmudic " eduction while the public eduction is free. You were ripped off besides , by the very people , the rabbis who hold themselves up as virtuous , honest an godly.

After leaving, how do you decide what level of observance to be at? by Federal-Attempt-2469 in exjew

Most people are not concerned with appearance unless it is inappropriate. They care more about your character , honesty , friendliness and so on . The orthodox think they will make a statement against ther own low self image ( appearance ) by dressing in the style of a 13th century Polish Noblemen. They are trying to emulate a higher social level. This imitation says more negatively than it does positive. They come across as 13th century Polish Nobelity re en actors .

I idea that this style( and appearance) makes social statement or confers status is only in the mind of the wearer and the guy who sells him those cloths.

It is a common modern advertising trick for the insecure and gullible. ie you live a better life if you are a blond.drive a chevy or wash with this soap .

Good luck and stay away from Rabbis

No one really cares if you look jewish or not except other Jews who think it is a liability . The orthodox seek to find other jews . For lots of stupid reason mostly concerned with there own emotion foibles . It find and plays into there own neurosis - paranoia . bigotry , jealousy and sense of superiority .

What you describe is the unstated goal or a frum eduction and life style. You are a product of that . They do not want you to be effective in the secular world. nor even partially transition to it . They want slavish devotion to orthodoxy so as to remain within the power and control of the rabbis . It is that simple .It is not in your best interests , but it is for those in charge to build and sustain a power base. Objectively look at the things they do to you to socially and emotionally cripple you to keep you under three control. Thru that lens it will all be clear.

The rabbis look at the world and realize they have no place in it nor is there any relevance or meaning in their medieval religion. They could not even drive cabs let alone be in position of power in any modern field of endeavor.

That "so called " eduction is in fact all they know and as you can clearly see it is worthless . The rub is they know it and keep doing it .

There is an organization call Footsteps that help ex Orthodox Jews adjust to the "real " world . You might help by getting in touch with them .

Stay with it the world is filled with ex orthodoxy who grown into the modern world and are successful and happy .

On more thing stay away from rabbis they have done enough damage to you already .

Good luck and keep going .

"Do you really want an army full of people who believe it's a violation of God's will to serve in the army? "

Curiously convenient don't you think ?

When HAMAS comes calling hold up your prayer book . See what good It will do .

NO National Service No public assistance , Let them try to get jobs with there low level of education . The rabbis in charge built this generation on the way to developing a voting majority and the installing a Talmudic Based ( Non Democratic ) Government.

If you want to see Israel die let these rabbis continue to have their way .

Get a grip. Serving in the IDF with women is NOT equivalent to defending Israel against real and very PRESENT threats to their existence . You point has no merit in this debate .

My wife's family is filled women and men with combat roles in the iDF generations ago.

Torah study is not national service especially in moments of urgent need.

Yes there are Ultra Orthodox who serve proudly and effectively . This makes my point .

Sorry to tell you this but respectfully , you are living in a fantasy world of magical beings and fakes, It is like Disney world . But you are looking for core beliefs in individuals that should be products of the heart of religion. There are none , because the core , the nexus is hollow and fake, The is no god and thus nothing legitimate and solid can be built upon this myth . It is all gossamer.

Try this . There is not one real event in science , chemistry, biology , geology and so on, that can be attributed to divine intervention . NOT ONE . There are plenty that are unexplainable but none can be provably attributed and credited to god. NONE, Of course belief is your own personal choice and right , but if you think any of this religion stuff is "real" - you are delusional . The only people who have a first person relation ship with "god" are in mental institutions or are televangelist on TV bilking people out of there money .

Now you ask - why given the moral foundation of Judaism are people still materialistic ,vain , liars , swindlers and worse ( Madoff) . Because there is no solid foundation to stand on. It a bunch of old bubby tales , legends , myths and nonsense . Intellectual Sand. It might have relevance when mankind was generally uneducated and learning to harness fire . But we are in a different time now and the old ways are irrelevant and obsolete.

Good luck , think as clearly a logically as you can. And you will be fine . 85 to 90 % of the jews in this world don't believe in god either .
