@dukepaaron @raf @pixelartdragon We can include America in this, not just Europe. And not everything that resulted from the Haskalah is bad, (the work that's been done regarding inclusion of people with disabilities, just as an example), but some of it has turned out to be very bad for the Jews, (the militant assimilation because it was thought that this would save us and it turns out to not have done that at all, for example).

Just wanted to let you know before you close your account that I've really enjoyed what you've brought to Babka, and I wish you blessing and success in whatever you do going forward.

Honestly this is a pretty mild take, and having lived in the deep south for a long time after my conversion to Judaism I can absolutely witness to the fact that southern antisemitism is very real.
