Request for advice
I greatly appreciate your opinions and perspective. I live in the ultra-Orthodox community, am married with children, and feel that the only (sane) religious view I can hold is similar to yours.
I will ask 2 questions:
A. In my opinion, Judaism as you present it cannot exist in the community for long. If we look at opinions from an 'evolutionary' perspective, it seems to have no capacity for survival.
Most people's motivation for having a religion is for the sense of security that someone cares about them, for the sense of justice, for apocalyptic goals, for the experience of religious feelings. Your religion offers almost none of these.
Your religion provides a refuge for intelligentsia who have been excluded from the general religious circle. It is not something that can sustain itself. It is cold, dry, and intellectual, relatively speaking.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's not true.
Do you agree with the statement that it is impossible to sustain a community and educate generations in this way?
B. 'We will benefit from his advice and resourcefulness':
As mentioned, I live in an ultra-Orthodox community, and I believe that the vast majority of the view and ideology is false and untrue.
A 'leaner' theology is not accepted in our regions, as you know. Any independent stance, whether harsh or soft, is condemned to contempt, rejection, and disgrace. That is why I feel that I cannot 'realize' my Judaism where I live.
What would you recommend I do?
