Will you be writing an essay about what the modern orthodox do with the bitachon vs hishtadlus issue?

Do they simply write off all the pesukim and maamarei chazal, because "chazal make mistakes"? What exactly have you discovered that the chovos halevovos didn't know about? Do dinosaurs play a role in all this?

Interesting that you try to paint this as a chareidi issue.

My father has a nice related interpretation of this interplay from a pasuk from last week's parsha, Beshalach.

ה' יִלָּחֵם לָכֶם וְאַתֶּם תַּחֲרִישׁוּן

"Hashem will provide you with bread. All you have to do is plow."
