Is Modern Orthodoxy going to disappear as more and more young people are educated by Haredim? Samuel Heilman certainly thinks so. I tend to disagree as his argument seems to be that the modern Orthodox can't survive the assimilationist trend by having one foot in the world of modern culture. While it seems logical, one would also think using the same logic that Conservative Judaism would have already started breaking up into Reform and Orhtodox factions, preaching egalitarianism while teaching halacha, but the movement continues to grow.

Frum and frummer
