“And for those who have the delusion that the “kollel” lifestyle is founded on being “mistapeik be’mu’ot”, look around, and you will see this is not true.
It may not be true now, but if you would have seen Lakewood even 30 years ago you would have seen Jews who sacrificed and were “mistapeik be’mu’ot” for learning Torah.”
You can still see it in Eretz Yisrael today. You can also still see it in Lakewood – most people I know in Lakewood fall in that category, and make great sacrifices for Limud Torah (and let’s not start talking about the ones who don’t – there are MANY that do, and we don’t need to find negative things to say on Yom Kippur Katan of the final Rosh Chodesh Elul before Moshiach comes – by next year, we will all have the opportunity to sit and learn without being mistapek bemuat, B’ezras Hashem, as long as we avoid bashing each other and spreading motzi shem ra about Am Yisrael.)
