Huh?

Larry Lennhoff recently posted a copy of an article that was printed in the American edition of the Yated Ne'eman. The article, entitled "Why do People Stay Orthodox?", examined various factors that contribute to the attractiveness of the Orthodox lifestyle.

Regarding those who leave the fold, the author writes:

"This abandonment is most often the result of physical and emotional issues, not because of any underlying ideological concerns that they have with Torah Judaism."

I offer 5 Pravda Pounds for any reader who can explain what on earth that statement means. Please, I need your help.
