Litzman answer well all but the charadi job issue. Many many charadim do work. the problem is that many of the many many work ‘black’, meaning illegal. True most of the younger men learn in kollel, but that is only as long as they are given support by their parents and in-laws.

On the other hand, few are criminals after finishing their kollel learning, compared to the number of criminals that are secular.

It would be interesting to note, what percentage of the religious public are in jail as compared to the percentage of the non religious Jewish public.

That is the regulations in Israel. Crazy, but yes. It is not the minister being greedy.

Another interesting fact being reported on today is that he has requested that the gov’t purchase for him not just any car, but a 220,000 shekel ($55,000) BMW.
