ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteThe article did not describe him as a Yerei Shomayim,which he is not,but as a Chareidi.
Chareidi is a sociological term. It has nothing to do with whether he is a tzaddik or a rasha. If he lives as part of the Chareidi community, he is chareidi. This man lives in an almost exclusively charieid neighborhood and dresses as a chareidi, so why would one assume that he is not part of that group?
