Reply To: Hashkafic views on taking money from the medinah

Someone who does not believe in the Medina should not take money from it nor should the Medina give it to him. This includes social benefits.
As for setting curriculum, with the Chareidi sector growing the Medina cannot afford a mass of people who refuse to work. Every state has a basic curriculum to prepare students for the job market. This, in fact, is the highest form of tzedaka. A man who chooses not to work and is not producing Torah on a high level (the Chief Rabbanate can give exams) should be drafted and ten sent into job training.
