Reply To: Was women's suffrage a mistake?

I’ve been consistent in expressing the view that ideally a wife should be home with the children and the husband be the breadwinner.

That said, their are exceptions to the rule where it may be necessary for the wife to provide an income. They should remain the exceptions. And certainly most preferably when that is unfortunately necessary, she should seek an income from the home or at least as close to the home as possible. Manhattan-type office jobs are surely to be best avoided.

And the great zchus of having a husband/father in full-time Limud Torah HaKedosha is surely one of the exceptions that could justify her working. Another might be when family income necessitates it. (For core family necessities, not luxuries.)
