Please can someone explain one thing that mystifies me.
We have more people learning Torah than ever before. So why did we have the events of October 7th - the worst (in terms of horrific conduct to Jews and others) and biggest (in terms of numbers) massacre since 1945 ? Surely any event should have been minor - or non-existent in the merit of our allegedly persistent and intensive torah learning ? The reality seems to conflict with the theory with horrific results.
these mental gymnastics arle P.R. tactics.You are asked to believe what makes no sense. Here we have soldiers dying and G-d forbid maimed and we don't hear from the leadership of the Chareidim any change in their philosophy! For me the emperor has no clothes.
The reason for Rav Hillel's comments is that in fact many donors are giving money to the IDF and evacuees instead of what they used to give to the yeshivot
Separately I don't understand the midrash as the yeshivot in Bavel suffered many years of persecution . The talmud Bavli was completed by Rav Ashi and Ravina because later persecutions reduced the level of learning and the yeshiva in Teverya was closed by the Xtians

So you don't agree with this Chareidi theory. What else is new. You and many of us!
Don't you understand that

Many donors are giving money to the IDF, (who are risking their lives) and evacuees (who have nothing….) instead of Yeshivas….רחמנה לצלן….
For the Yeshivot or for the soldiers?!
Give you one guess…
That some people are idiots is not new
