Regarding what R’ Bender said:
Does he think it needs to change? I guess so, but the question is how. I can tell you what he does.
He established a special gemach specifically for alumni of Darchei. He also set up a program to teach vocational skills to both kollel members and community members who are in need. They can learn plumbing, electrical work, and other skills. They have classes in computer skills. You can start taking advantage while a kollel member – they have classes scheduled at times that can work for most people. I believe the cost is also significantly reduced for kollel members.
