So if the average “Yeraim” Baal HaBos works eight hours (most work more), commute (in the NYC area) two hours, and learn two hours, then shouldn’t full time be 12+ hours?
Sure, if you include the chores he needs to do because he can’t afford an at home babysitter.
As I explained earlier, if boys who would otherwise be working see strong incentives to be a member of an institute of Torah learning, it leaves fewer boys for girls who want working boys, pushing the issues there as well.
So there aren’t enough learning boys, and aren’t enough working boys, and it’s kollel’s fault. Kollel makes boys disappear, I guess.
