Seriously though, kitov is so right! ☺
In the US at least, childcare is hugely expensive and makes it difficult for women to go to work. For kollel women, they need to make a salary that not only pays significantly more than the cost of childcare, but enough to support her entire family on top of that.
Other Western countries provide childcare.
In my humble opinion, kitov’s is a very reasonable request. There is a need. There was more communal help back in the day and today some kollel women may have to compete with higher expectations with fewer resources.
Even with childcare it wouldn’t be easy. I think it’s awesome that kitov voiced a need that she sees in her community. Amen.
