Recently, I was studying the shiurim listing at a shul. Every class was Gemara except for one short ein Yaakov class. Nobody needs to study the topic of emunah? Now there's emunah in the Gemara but from experience I can tell you that the shiurim weren't studying those parts. And what about halacha? This was a shul for baalei batim. They all know the halacha they need? No way.
Who is leading these people? What has happened to the rabbinate? Are they completely out of touch with reality? Many of them live in a bubble, in their own little world.
I spent some time recently with a Litvish rabbi .When I say Litvish I don't mean true Litvish. I mean American/israeli contemporary yeshivish. We need a new word for it really as they aren't Litvish anymore. Americanish? Israeli-ish? Modern yeshivish? Traife?
He never mentioned Hashem ever. Everything was for Torah and by Torah he meant intellectual gymnastics in the Gemara. The guy never talked hashkafa.
One day he went to give a drosho to baalei batim. I was encouraged by the hope that he'd talk about bitachon finally. And the subject, the importance of Torah study. That's a drosho to a Modern yeshivish rabbi. It tells you that Modern yeshivish Gemara has become a god in itself, a false one.
