The religious world asking secular Jews for money is the greatest of all possible spiritual levels. Even though they say that "learning Torah" is their goal, the actual goal is to get money from secular Jews --i. e that means the show and pretense of keeping some rituals of Torah. Emphasis on rituals provides a disguise for this fraud. And there is a tendency to present their leaders as super smart, where as reality shows the religious leaders are stupid, and use the appearance of Torah to provide a a show
You can count on religious Jews begging for money--and why? For the purpose they they uphold the whole world in their merit. [Thus they say.]
Religious Jews have discovered that by a show of religiosity, they can get money from secular Jews. Therefore the main emphasis is on a show of rituals.
