Reply To: Kollel – Talmud Torah Kneged Kulam

A previous poster, assuming the writer had years in Kollel, commented:

“The speeches at the beginning make it sound as if someone here is trying to prove to themselves that what they are doing is right. Or trying to politely tell their wife to get off their backs. You arent going to convince people with speeches.”

Now a poster comments:

“No Playe de game, No Makey de rules. Someone who hasn’t put in years of learning in a Kollel should not advocate it being for everyone, until he knows what it takes, what its toll on a wife is, and what the parnassa issues are in and after Kollel.”

In other words “Heads I win, Tails you lose.” If you’re in Kollel, you’re only protecting your turf. If you weren’t, you have no right to promote it. The cynics will put up a show no matter the facts.
