Reply To: The Torah v. Morals

We are on the same page, then. Of course, there is no licence to transgress Torah commandments in the name of keeping others.

However, the opposite is also true. There are those who are anti-Torah who defame/malign the Oilom HaTorah – those who sit in Kollel – by talking down their ‘terrible middos’ for being a ‘burden’ on their wives and families, and ‘forcing’ their wives to work to support them.

In such a case, unfortunately, the “Bein Odom Lechaverio” worries don’t come from anything L’sheim Shomayim.
