Reply To: Is working at a Kollel considered “working”?

LU, thanks!! Okay so that validates my feelings that working in a kollel is still on the kollel learning spectrum. 🙂
So both akuperma’s and your definitions can be true at the same time.

LU, thanks for explaining Klei kodesh! I think I’ve heard that before here, and that totally helps me see the gears and tiers of a kollel and Torah leadership in a bigger picture – falling under Klei kodesh 🙂

Bmyer, thanks! Oh yea! In-laws, I forgot! Yes so true, I’ve heard that’s common, especially for couples starting out. Excellent point 🙂

By the way, if a woman supporting someone’s Torah learning financially, is that considered like giving birth to him? (Please excuse me if I got the saying wrong, but you know what I mean, where one who teaches Torah, it’s like having a son?)

Thanks! 🙂
