What are the major issues affecting Modern Orthodoxy?

Someone asked me this question, and here's my answer (in no particular order). Some of these are specific to MO, some to OJ in general, and maybe some to all fundie religions.

1. Women's Issues

Women Rabbis, Women's Tefillah Groups etc. Personally, none of this bothers me, but it seems to be a real hot potato in many parts of the MO world.

2. Gay Rights

I sometimes wonder if I'm overstating this one, but it seems to me that this should be a major problem, even if it isn't. Maybe this one is just waiting for the "paradigm" case.

3. Biblical Scholarship, Science etc

Probably not something that bothers your average Joe, but those in the know are certainly troubled by this. MO has no good answer.

4. Kids going OTD

Partly because of 3 above, or sometimes 2, but maybe just from unlimited exposure to the secular world, coupled with the general lack of passion in the MO world, means that a lot of MO kids go OTD.

5. Kids flipping out

Some of MO's best and brightest go the other way. They see that MO isn't passionate and UO is more 'authentic' and less 'watered down'.

6. Dependancy on the Chareidim

Mohelim, Shochtim, Rabbeim - you name it, MO are dependant on the Chareidim. And not just professionally, but sociologically too - the Chareidim are the engine that drives the ship. I'm not sure that MO could even survive without UO.

7. The LW MO (from a RW pov)

The LW are sinking the whole ship. They're going too far left and will incur the wrath of the chareidim. They will ruin our institutions and cause the RW MO to have to jump ship and become Chareidi. Then the LW MO will drift to Conservative and MO will be finished.

8. The RW MO (from a LW POV)

The RW MO are ruining everything. They're going too far right and will ruin our institutions. We have no choice but to create alternatives e.g. YCT, which will then split MO and lead to its eventual demise.

9. Lifestyle

It's expensive being OJ. UOs might make sacrifices, but MOs won't. MO's want top quality schooling, housing etc. In order to cope with the financial burden, MOs will have less kids, leading to a demographic decline.

10. Lack of inspiring leadership

UO have their Gedolim, we have the Chief Rabbi. It's not enough.
