Haredim — Good or Not Good
Question
The Haredi public has many advantages: more fear of Heaven, people are more interested in Torah and God, less crime, and other advantages.

P.S. Aside from the issue of suppression in general, there is also the question of whether to give a platform to questions of faith / belief or to repress them. I’m not asking about that, because the Rabbi’s opinion is clear to me, and it’s also clear to me that this is the truth.
