I agree it’s a broad brush, and I did not mean to paint ALL Haredi as freeloaders.
I apologize.
But the question was, “what do they do that makes you dislike them.”
My answer should have been “Many Haredi . . . “
I just read an article about Shas (a political party in Israel for the Haredi Sephardi and Mizrahi).
They are just so welfare oriented they piss me off.
They also seek to the impose (by secular law) of Halakha on secular Jewish peoples.
I don’t disagree with them (regarding religion, or at least mostly), but they are the Israeli Jewish version of Mike Huckabee -— big government from the right that wants to impose their personal view of moral laws via the State.
I can’t stant nanny staters, in the USA or Israel.
You can’t impose a relationship with G-d by secular law.
Each person has to do that themselves, and if they chose not to, that’s between that person and G-d.
That, and I am now doing taxes for two countries.
In a foul mood.
I accept your point about "many Haredim ..." There are always those who will milk the system. And as a Jew, I object to that, vehemently. If ever there is a way to promote a stereotype, that is it.
Hope your mood brightens during the day!
