My impression is that the highest birthrates are among anti-Zionist Satmar, with perhaps just as high among "chardalim" (the above mentioned settlers) I dont look forward to an Israel divided between those groups.
OTOH, historically the secular Zionist and modern O (and in the diaspora, the Reform and Conservative) built their numbers up with ex-Ultra-O, as Ultra-O proved unable to deal with the issues Jews faced. So theres plenty of reason for hope, though it may take the kind of crisis brought on by an Israel dominated by conflict between chassidim and chardelim. |
