"They force themselves to sit through this, being told how evil they are, how decadent they are today with their obsessions with ridiculous things and how spiritually inferior they are,” one Hasidic woman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on the condition of anonymity because she still lives in a Hasidic community in Borough Park. “And they sit there and they listen to it and they nod and they accept it all and they internalize it.”

    A gezeira cannot be enforced if the majority do not accept it - and the majority of Jews will not any gezeira placed by Orthodox rabbonim.

  8. Depends. If you calculate the majority by only counting the people that will do what you say then yes, the majority do accept it.

    or a move towards secularism - when people say enough is enough. they don't even settle for MO, with designer sheitls and denim skirts - they become full on chilonim, and eat treif on yom kippur.
