For all those who have an aversion to the “apikorsim” who go to college, please stop banging on our doors, ringing our bells, calling our homes and sending us letters for money. After all YOU don’t hold from JEWS going to college! YOU consider us apikorsim! YOU look down on us and therefor have no right to demand, ask or expect anything from us at all.
Furthermore, for those who claim that college is assur especially for girls, how are they supposed to make a parnasah for all their wonderful hubby’s who are sitting and learning and not paying the bills. Just how many “morahs” does a community need? Should a young vabel be a cashier? How many cashiers do kosher groceries need? Should she work in an office? Well how kosher would an office environment be if a college environment is assur? Where exactly should a young wife work and how should she make the money necessary to support her family.
Every Askan I know who’s bell is always pressed and who’s home is always filled with requests for tzedaka have gone to college and worked hard to achieve what he has. And yes they are still talmidei chachamim because they made time in their busy schedules to learn. One of which is a family member of mine whom Rav Pam z”tl handpicked to run a special organization to fulfill his dream. He couldn’t have picked a finer person, a better Ben Torah, a bigger Talmud Chacham or a more generous askan in both $ and actions. And no he wouldn’t be where he is today had he not gone to college.
